| Deed 5 of day 5 | Ramadan series

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuhu

Alhumdulillah it's almost a week now since Ramadan has passed.

The deed of today is to try to do something productive throughout your day, that normally looks a normal routine task but it could be an act of worship once you change your niyyah to do that act just for the sake of Allah. 

Verily every action is judged by its intention.

Few actions for us girls could be to make iftar for the entire family, not just because you have to but because you want to make Allah happy and please Him by helping your family members. See how that became a simple act of worship? Help your mom to please Allah and to return the favours back to your mother. Speak good words to your father in a low polite tone not because you are controlling yourself from anger but because you want to make Allah happy by respecting your father.

Forgives your sibling's shortcoming not because you want to feel relieved and light but because you want Allah to forgive you as well.

Simple!  Isn't it?

Alhumdulillah, this will make your entire day free from expectations from any body and it will make you do ample of good deeds and worship in sha Allah. :) :)

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuhu

The deed that I really want to acquire this Ramadan is in sha Allah to fast my tongue just as much I fast myself from food, water and all the halal things. 

Tongue is one of the biggest paths that could lead us to heaven or hell. And I am afraid we speak useless and futile more than we speak beneficial and rewarding.  So in sha Allah, we will try to moist ours tongues with the remembrance of Allah and also with the recitation of the Qur'an and earn lots of ajar through our tongues. 

May Allah grant us the strength and tawfeeq to control our tongues and also our behavior throughout the entire year.  Ameen

| Deed 3 of day 3 | Ramadan series

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuhu
I am sorry I didn't post earlier for yesterday's day three deed.

Deed of the day for day 3 would be something that we would want to apply in our daily lives and not only in Ramadan.  It is to wake up from your sleep to pray tahajjud after you've woken up.  Pray at least two rak'ats and seek forgiveness from Allah. Thank Him for all the blessings that He bestowed you with.  Ask anything you want from him. 

This is a deed we need to do daily.  And in the month of Ramadan rather than being awake all the time, sleep a little and then wake up again for tahajjud, then do your suhoor. 
Always keep doing astagfar at the time of suhoor.  Don't indulge in useless talks. Allah listens at that time to whatever we ask.

On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

Our Lord‬ (glorified and exalted be He) descends each night to the earth's sky when there remains the final third of the night, and He says:

Who is saying a prayer to Me that I may answer it? 
Who is asking something of Me that I may give it him? 
Who is asking forgiveness of Me that I may forgive him?

It was related by al-‪Bukhari‬ (also by ‪Muslim‬, Malik, at-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud). In a version by Muslim the Hadith ends with the words: And thus He continues till [the light of] dawn shines.
(From 40 Ahadith Qudsi)

Rabbana taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum.

| Deed 2 of day 2 | Ramadan series

Assalamualaikum

Today I will share with you a common good deed that we can practice this month of Ramadan so that we can continue this great habit even after Ramadan.
I'm sure all of us must be regular in their five daily prayers and from that the most regular must be the Fajr prayer. Since Fajr is the prayer that comes after we do our suhoor and very few of us sleep at that time.  [I have good hopes from my Rasool's (sallalahu alaihi wa sallam) ummah.]
So coming to the point, the great habit which we can add into our list of good deeds is to read Qur'an after Fajr.

"Establish prayer at the decline of the sun [from its meridian] until the darkness of the night and [also] the Qur'an of dawn. Indeed, the recitation of dawn is ever witnessed." (Surah Al Isra-78)

The recitation of the Qur'an after fajr is witnessed!! SubhanaAllah! From the last post of mine I mentioned how we must keep on doing dhikr, read Qur'an after fajr until sunset at our muscular, and now this deed, they both are similar. You won't have to try that harder now.  In sha Allah you will gain reward simultaneously for doing two things at once.  Two good deeds at once and rewards are multiplied. In sha Allah

May Allah grant us the tawfeeq to establish these simple acts of worship. Ameen

Remember me in your duwas.

| Deed 1 of day 1 | Ramadan series

Assalamualaikum

A simple reward one can do this Ramadan is as followed below:

1. Involving oneself in dhikr and azkaar until sunrise.

Prophet ﷺ said “Whoever prays Fajr in congregation then sits remembering Allaah until the sun rises, then prays two rak’ahs, will have a reward like that of Hajj and ‘Umrah, complete, complete, complete.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (586).

Shaykh Abdul Azeez bin Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said,

“If a woman prays in her Musalla, then after Fajr remembers Allah by dhikr or reading the Quran until sunup, then offers two Rakah she gets the reward mentioned in the hadeeth.”

(Majmoo’ Fatawa vol 11)

Alhumdulillah! Let's race in doing good deeds. Bi iznillah!!!

Kullu aam wa antum bi khair.

RAMADAN MUBARAK!!!
Remember the entire Muslim Ummah in your prayers.
