How the Salaf Spent in Charity in Ramadan
The Prophet
was the most generous of people in giving charity, but he was even more generous during the month of Ramadan. He was more generous and faster in giving charity than a blowing wind. Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet said: "The best.. More

O Night, I Love My Tears in You - II
Moons of the night: Those people have lit the night with their tears, and become moons of the night. Humble submissiveness and longing spurred them on; the Quran grasped their hearts, which hovered around the signs of the universe. Thus, the pearls of the night [i.e., tears] welled forth from their eyes. The most precious tears: These are the tears.. More -
O Night, I Love My Tears in You - I
Night fell, silence settled over the universe, the blue sky turned grey, and the darkness of the night kept intensifying until the advent of the blessed hour during which the Merciful descends to the lowest heaven, in a manner befitting His Majesty. Afortunate young man left his bed, liberated himself from the shackles of sleep, purified his body.. More -
We Shall Start from Here - II
1- The second type: People who were heedless and submerged in sins before Ramadan, but with its advent they became worshippers and started fasting and performing the night prayer. They also started reciting the Quran, giving charity, shedding tears out of fear of Allah The Almighty, and their hearts became submissively humble. When the hearts of such.. More -
We Shall Start from Here - I
Ramadan has left us after staying with us as a dear guest for 30 days. However, did it leave us while being satisfied with our conditions, or while it weeps out of remorse over us? We ask Allah The Almighty to accept our worship during the month of Ramadan, just as He gave us the opportunity of witnessing it and guided us to perform fasting and.. More -
The Married Couple in Ramadan
The blessed month of Ramadan carries sublime implications for human life in general and the marital life in particular. It is a great opportunity for the spouses to draw closer to each other and for all family members to maintain kinship ties.

Swarms of Mosquitoes
Allah The Almighty Says (what means): {Indeed, Allah is not timid to present an example -- that of a mosquito or what is smaller than it is.} [Quran 2:26] Some people might find it strange that Allah The Almighty sets forth an example of a small insect like the mosquito in the Quran. This insect chooses the (most exposed) parts of the body to land.. More -
Steadfastness in Worship after Ramadan
This is the goal worthy of being actively sought and aspired for: steadfastness in worshipping and obeying Allah The Almighty, avoiding sins and reciting the Quran and Athkaar (words of remembrance and supplication) after Ramadan. Just as every matter has an accompanying sign, scholars mention that the sign of acceptance of a good deed is for it to.. More -
Ramadan and the Best Farewell – II
Be a torchbearer of goodness: Be concerned with the affairs of your religion, and endeavor to spread it among the people, and engage in the call to Allah The Almighty, with your manners, behavior, and deeds before being a caller with your words. You should bear in mind that Allah The Almighty sees you working for His sake, and spending time in His way,.. More -
Ramadan and the Best Farewell - I
According to the righteous predecessors, “Ramadan is but a market which is held (for some time) and then it is over, in which some gain, and others lose.” So, to which party do you belong? According to Al-Hasan, may Allah have mercy upon him, “Allah The Almighty has made Ramadan an arena for His slaves to race to please Him: some.. More -
O Night, I Love My Tears in You - III
Abu Turaab, may Allah be pleased with him, describes the Companions of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam: How wonderful was this Quranic generation that graduated from the school of prophethood and learned at the hands of its teacher. Can you imagine their state, if shedding tears in the depths of the night becomes a common feature and.. More -
Glad Tidings and Blessings of Ramadan
The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, used to give glad tidings to his Companions upon the arrival of Ramadan, and informed them that in this month the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained. He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said:“When the first night of Ramadan comes, the doors.. More -
Fruits of I‘tikaaf
There are magnificent fruits of I‘tikaaf (seclusion in the mosque) and the question arises, which I posed a little while ago: Why do we make I‘tikaaf, leave our families and affairs? What are the rulings of I‘tikaaf? What is lawful and what is unlawful in I‘tikaaf? What would invalidate I‘tikaaf? If I‘tikaaf has.. More -
The wisdom behind I‘tikaaf
Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy upon him, said that as the soundness of the heart and its adherence to its way to Allah depends on its full devotion to Allah The Almighty, and because excessive food, drink, intermixing with people, talk and sleep all distract the heart from its moving on its way to Allah, weaken it, prevent it or even stop it, then.. More -
Making up for I‘tikaaf
The scholars’ preponderant opinion on this issue is that it is not obligatory to make up for the voluntary I‘tikaaf (seclusion in the mosque), whether there is an excuse for interrupting it or not. However, it is favorable to make up for the voluntary I‘tikaaf because the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, did that when.. More
