Fact
Parents
are a gift from ALLAH. All parents love their children and care for
them through out their life. Therefore, it is also moral duty of their
children to look after their parents when they grow old. We should know
the value of our parents and see them happy and smiling. Allah has also
ordered us to be dutiful to our parents. If they attain old age, we are
neither supposed to utter any word of disrespect nor shout at them. We
should always treat them honorably
Islam
Before Ramzaan
💕Pre Ramadan Practical planning💕
a)Eid Shopping
Get Your Eid Clothes and Eid Gifts Ready NOW: You should have them before Ramadan begins or on their way. Don’t waste even a single minute deciding what to wear on Eid day. Go shopping now and get all the gifts shopped, packed and labeled for Eid.
b) Iftar Suhoor Menu
Plan Your Menu: Plan your menu for Ramadan now. Shop for and store all dry items that you will need. This will save you time, energy and money. Prepare and freeze items like patties and rolls at least 15 days before Ramadan. Cook and freeze meat curry for use in the first few days of Ramadan.
c) Analyze Yourself
: Understand your routine, the times of the day when your energy levels are high and low, the times in the day when there are some errands that you have to run, like helping your husband get ready for work, or when your kids will need you. Optimize your high energy levels (which are normally after Fajr) for reading Qur’an. Start staying up after Fajr from now so that it does not become too difficult when Ramadan starts. Think of what you can do when your energy levels tend to drop.
c) Dua List
Organize Your Dua List: Mark and gather all the duas that you want to make in Ramadan. If they are not in one book, then create Word documents and get print-outs. Mark out the ones you will read after each salah, before breaking the fast, after Taraweeh and in your Tahajjud. Make separate copies and label them. You can also start memorizing some duas from now. Make a list of people you want to make duas for: some friends from long ago that you remember fondly, relatives etc. Keep your dua list or books right next to your prayer mat so that you don’t get lazy reading them if you are very tired.
d) Stamina Building
Increase Your Stamina: Start eating less from now. Train yourself to stay hungry for a little more time each day. Exercise to increase your stamina. With the long fasting hours, small children running around and no family to help out, tempers rise very quickly on empty stomachs. Train your stomach and your anger controls of the brain not to work together.
e) Make a Goal List
: Make realistic goals of how much Qur’an you want to read in a day. For example, if you aim for finishing one juz’ a day, then break it into 4 parts. Start reading it from before Fajr and end it by Asr or before Maghrib salah. Do dhikr when you are doing “anything at all” like doing your normal chores of getting ready for work, driving, cooking, cleaning etc. Eat a light meal at iftar to be able to perform Taraweeh.
f)Deep Clean House
Try to declutter and deep clean your house so that the minimum cleaning will suffice during Ramadan. Also a cleaner more organised environment can add to the peace and calm.
Remember this is just for one month, a precious,special and blessed month

HAZRAT IBRAHIM A.S.
Ibrahim a.s. ka zikar Quran mein 26 martaba
aaya hai. Aap Iraq k aik qasbay "Urr" k rehnay
walay thay. Baap ka naam "Aazar", jo
but'taraash tha. Poori qom but parast thi.
Ibrahim a.s. nay jub buton say bezari zahir ki aur
baap ko haq ki dawat di to us nay kaha "Agar tu
in buton ko bura kehnay say baaz na aaya to
mein tujhe sangsaar kar dun ga". Ibrahim a.s.
nay apnay RUB ka taaruf yun karwaya:-
Jis nay mujay peda kia aur mujay seedhi raah
dikhata hay. Jo mujay khilata hay aur pilata hay.
Jab mein bemaar hota hun to mujay shifa deta
hay. Jo mujay maut day ga aur dobara zinda
karay ga. (shuaara). Qom butparasti say baaz na
aai..Ibrahim a.s.nay aik din kaha "Aur Allah ki
qasam mein tumharay buton k sath aik khufya
chaal chalun ga, jab tum mojood nae ho gay" (Al-
Ambiya)
Kuch arsay baad qom ka aik mazhabi mela huwa
to Ibrahim a.s. ko b dawat di.Aap bimari ka
bahana bana kar pechay reh gaye. Aap un k
baray mandar mein gaye tamaam buton ko tor
kar kulhara baray but k kandhay per rakh diya.
Qom ko andaza ho gaya k ye kaam sirf Ibrahim
ka hi hay. jub sawal huwa to aap nay kaha" Ye
kaam uss baray but nay kia hay agar ye bol
sakay to pooch lo" (ambiya) Jub sharmsaar
huway to kehnay lagay "Tu khoob janta hay, ye
bolnay walay nae "Ibrahim a.s. nay kaha "Kia tum
ko aqal nae, k tum un ko poojtay ho jo tum ko na
faida detay hein na nuqsaan" (Ambiya)....
Namrood se mulaqaat
Us waqt Iraq k badshah ka laqab "Namrood" tha,
jo sirf badshah nae,apni riaaya ka malik aur
mabood hota tha, aur uski parastish buton say
barh kar hoti thi, q k ye in ki zindagi k b malik
thay....Namrood ko apni khudai ko khatra
mehsoos huwa to Ibrahim a.s. ko talab kiya,
Ibrahi a.s. nay apnay RUB k baray mein kaha
"mera RUB wo hay, jo zinda karta hay aur maarta
hai" Namrood nay aik begunah shakhs ko qatal
kar diya aur phansi k intizaar mein aik qaidi ko
reha kar diya kehnay laga dekh lo, ye kaam to
mein b kar sakta hoon. Ibrahim a.s.nay kaha
"mera Allah sooraj ko mashriq say nikaalta hai, tu
maghrib say nikaal kar dikha" (Baqarah)iss per
namrood lajawaab ho gaya.
Aatishe Namrood
Lajawaab namrood aur pagal qom nay faisla kia k
Iarahim a.s. ko aag mein daal diya jae...aik jaga
muntakhib kar k kai roz tak aag dehkai gai, phir
aik din Ibrahim a.s. ko uss mein phenk diya gaya.
Allah ka hukam huwa "Ay aag tu Ibrahim k liye
salamti aur thandak bun ja"(Ambia)
Hazrat Ibrahim a.s. per sirf un ki biwi(Hazrat
Hajra a.s.) aur Hazrat Loot a.s.(chacha k betey)
aur un ki biwi eemaan lae, jin k saath aap nay
apna watan chora aur Falasten mein ja aabaad
huway.
Riwayat hay k jub Usman r.a. nay apni biwi
Ruqayya r.a. k sath Habsha hijrat ki to Rasool
Allah saww nay farmaya "Beshak Loot k baad
Usman pehlay muhajir hein, jinhon nay apni biwi
samait hijrat ki"..
Falasteen mein ziada arsa qayam nae kiya aur
Misar ki taraf safar kiya.
Jub Misar paunchay,to apni biwi say farmaya
"yahan ka badshah zalim aur jabir hai. jab kisi
haseen aurat ko dekhta hay, to usko zabardasti
cheen leta hay,uska sathi mard agar shohar ho to
usay qatal kar deta hai, lekin agar koi aur rishta
ho to chor deta hay. Deeni tour per tum meri
behen ho,is liye usko b tum yahi batana"
Phir aisa hi huwa, raat ko badshah nay jub
budniyati say apna haath barhaya to wo shull ho
gaya aur wo Sarah a.s.ko hath nae laga saka, us
nay Sarah a.s. ko kaha "apney RUB say dua karo
k mera hath theek kar day, mein tujhay riha kar
doon ga"....dua k baad hath to theek ho gaya
magar badsha dobara budniyyat ho gaya phir
wohi huwa...jub teesri baar huwa to uss nay kaha
"Isko jaldi say lay jao shayad ye jin hay", us k
sath hi Hazrat Haajra ko b saath bhej diya..Sarah
a.s. apnau saath Haajra ko lay kar Ibrahim a.s. k
paas paunchin aur mubarak di Allah nay aik
faasiq say nijaat di aur aap k liye aik khadima
(Haajra a.s.)b bhej di hay.........
Ye waqiya ahadees mein Hazrat Abu Hurera say
riwayat hay, jinhon nay farmaya "Ay sharifun
nasab ehlay arab ! Ye hein Haajra a.s, jo tum sub
ki maan hein" Riwayaat say sabit hota hay k
Haajra a.s. Firaon e misr ki beti thein. ehlay
yahood ki mustanad riwayat hay k jub firaon nay
Sarah a.s. ki karamaat ko dekha to kaha "meri
beti ka iss k ghar londi bun k rehna, doosray ghar
mein malka bun kar rehnay say behtar hay"
Hazrat Ibrahim a.s. jab Misr say chalay to Sarah
a.s. ki umer 70 saal thi.
HAZRAT ISMAIL A.S. KI PEDAISH
Ibrahim a.s. nay Allah say aulaad ki dua mangi to
Hajra a.s. k batan say Ismail a.s.peda huway,
uss waqt Ibrahim a.s.ki umer 86 saal thi.
Doosri biwi ka aulaad peda karna, Sara a.s. k liye
bohat takleef deh tha,unhon nay Ibrahim a.s. ko
kaha k in donon ko kahin aur lay jao. Ibrahim a.s.
ko aitaraz huwa to Allah nay aisa hi karnay ka
mashwara diya.
Ibrahim a.s. nay biwi aur buchay ko Kabatullah k
paas aik mashkeeza pani aur aik thela khajoor k
saath chor diya, aur wapsi per Allah say dua ki
"Ay hamaray RUB mein apni aulaad ko aik banjar
wadi mein teray izzat walay ghar k paas chor kar
ja raha hoon ta k ye namaz qaim karein....tu
logon k dil in ki taraf maail kar day aur zameen
say in ko rizq day, ta k ye shukar guzaar
banein" (Ibrahim).........
Jab Kaba ki diwaar Ibrahim a.s. k qad say oonchi
ho gai, to Ismail a.s. nay patharon ka aik
chabootra bana diya, jis per kharay ho kar
Ibrahim a.s. nay mazeed tameer mukammal ki,
wohi jaga aaj kal "Maqame Ibrahim" kehlata hay.
Jibrail a.s. phir samnay walay pahaar say aik
pathar nikal kar laye, jisay jannat say yahan la
kar mehfooz kiya gaya tha.Yahi "Hajre Aswad"
hay.
Jab "Baitullah" tameer ho gaya to Allah nay us ka
jo maqaam tayyun kiya, us ka Quran mein tafseel
say zikar hay, farmaan hay:- "Beshak insanon k
liye (Allah ki ibadat k liye) jo pehla ghar banaya
gaya,wo Macca mein hay, barkat wala hay aur
tamaam insanon k liye hidayat hay, iss mein khuli
nishanian hein aur Maqam e Ibrahim b, aur jo iss
mein daakhil huwa usay amaan mil gaee. Allah ki
taraf say logon per ye baat farz ho gai hay k jo
hesiyat rakhta ho, wo iss ghar ka Hajj kare, aur jo
iss ka inkaar karay,to beshak Allah tamaam
dunya say bayniaz hay "(Aale Imran)
HAZRAT ISMAIL A.S.
Inn ka tazkirah apnay baap k saath hi aaya hay.
Hazrat Ismail a.s. k 12 betay thay aur inn ki
aulaad Hijaaz, Shaam, Iraq, falasteen aur Misr tak
pheil gaee, aap nay 136 saal ki umer paee.Jub
khana aur pani khatam ho gaya to Allah nay
payasay Ismail ki aerree k nechay say pani jari
kiya jisay payasi Hajra a.s. nay "zam zam" keh
kar roka.
Pani k oopar parinday dekh kar 'bani jarham'
nami aik qabeela Hajra a.s. ki ijazat say aa kar
aabad ho gaya, rafta rafta aik basti aur sheher
aabaad ho gaya.
Ibrahim a.s. apni biwi aur batay ko milnay aur
khabar geeri karnay aaya kartay thay.
KHATNA (circumcision)
Jub Ismail a.s. ki umrr 13 saal hooe aur Ibrahim
a.s. 99 saal k huway to Allah nay khatna karnay
ka hukam diya. Ibrahim a.s. nay apni phir Ismail
a.s.aur phir tamaam khana zadon aur ghulamon
ki khatna karwein. yehi rasm aaj b "sunnat e
Ibrahimi" kehi jati hay.
ZIBHE AZEEM
Namrood ki aag. Biwi aur buchay ko beyabaan
mein chornay k baad Allah nay Ibrahim a.s. say
3sri qurbani maangi.Khwab mein hukam diya k
apnay beta qurbaan karo, baap aur beta donon
tayar ho gaye. baap nay churi chalai aur Allah
nay 'meindha' bhej kar betay ko bacha liya aur
kaha "ay Ibrahim tu nay apna khwab sucha kar
diya aur ham nek logon ko aisa hi badla detay
hein" (safat)

How to complete the Quran in Ramzan.
The Quran has approximate 600pages, if u divide it by 30days..that makes it 20 pages a day. That could be difficult..right? But if u divide it on the 5 tyms Namaz it becomes much easier....right?? If you read 4pages after every Namaz in Ramzan then you have completed the whole Quran.
But if you want to complete the Quran twice, you can read 4pages before and after every Namaz. And imagine if you forward this message how many people will benefit and complete the Quran.

What is the ruling on wearing an amulet (ta'weez)? People have the belief that wearing a string around the neck will protect them, when surely only Allah protects. Please tell me the ruling on wearing this, for many people say that it is shirk.
<ANSWER>
In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,
Hanging or wearing of amulets (ta'wiz) is normally permissible for protection or healing provided certain conditions are met:
1) That they consist of the names of Allah Almighty or his attributes;
2) That they are in Arabic;
3) That they do not consist of anything that is disbelief (kufr);
4) The user does not believe the words have any affect in themselves, but are empowered to do so by Allah Most High.
It is narrated from Amr ibn Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather (Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-Aas (Allah be pleased with them all), that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) used to teach them (the Sahabas) for fearful situations the following words:
"I seek refuge in Allah's perfect words from His wrath, the evil of his servants, the whispered insinuations of devils, and that they come to me"
Abd Allah ibn Amr used to teach these words to those of his sons who had reached the age of reason, and used to write them and hang them upon those who had not reached the age of reason (narrated by Abu Dawud & Tirmidhi, and Tirmidhi classed it as an authentic narration).
In the Musannaf of Imam Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shayba, the permissibility of hanging Ta'wizes is reported from many of the Companions and early Muslims (Salaf), including: Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab, Ata', Mujahid, Abd Allah ibn Amr, Ibn Sirin, Ubaydullah ibn Abd Allah ibn Umar, and others (Allah be well pleased with them all). [See: al-Musannaf, 5.439].
Due to the above, most of the scholars have declared the using of amulets (ta'wiz) permissible as long as the above conditions are met. It is similar to using medication which is permissible and not against the concept of reliance in Allah (tawakkul) or monotheism Tawhid. However, it is not permissible to regard the Ta'wiz to be effective in it self, just as it is not permissible to regard medicines to be effective in them selves.
As for that which is reported from some, including Ibn Mas'ud (Allah be pleased with him), that hanging Ta'wizes is shirk, this is understood to mean those Ta'wizes that resemble the one's used in the days of ignorance (jahiliyya), or if used thinking that it is the ta'wiz itself that cures or protects, not Allah, or if it contains impermissible invocations or one's whose meaning is not known.
The great Hanafi Jurist, Imam Ibn Abidin (Allah have mercy on him) states:
"Using of Ta'wizes will not be permissible if they are written in a non-Arabic language in that its meaning is not known. They may consist of black magic, disbelief or impermissible invocations. However, if they consist of Qur'anic verses or prescribed supplications (duas), then there is nothing wrong with using them (Radd al-Muhtar).
Imam Ibn Taymiyya (Allah have mercy on him) writes in his Fatawa:
"It is permissible for an ill or troubled person, that certain verses from the Qur'an are written with pure ink, then it is washed and given to the ill to drink. Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) is reported to have mentioned a certain Dua that should be written and placed close to the woman who is experiencing hard labour at the time of giving birth.
Sayyiduna Ali (Allah be pleased with him) says: This Dua should be written and tied to the arm of the woman. We have experienced that there is nothing more amazing than this" (Fatawa Ibn Taymiyya, 19/65).
Imam Ibn Taymiyya's student Imam Ibn al-Qayyim also narrates the permissibility of using Ta'wizes from a number of salafs including the great Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (Allah have mercy on him). Thereafter Ibn al-Qayyim himself quotes various Ta'wizes (Zad al-Ma'ad, 3/180).
In view of the foregoing, it becomes clear that generally using of Ta'wizes is not something that is impermissible or Shirk. However, it is necessary that the above mentioned conditions are met.
Today we have people who are victims of immoderation. There are some people who declare all types of Ta'wizes to be Shirk and Kufr. Others, on the other hand, think Ta'wizes to be everything. Both these types of understandings are incorrect.
Using of Ta'wizes is permissible, but with moderation. Normally it is better to recite the Duas which are prescribed for every problem and illness, and along with that resort to medical treatment. However, if Ta'wizes are used sometimes, then it is permissible.
If there is a fear that a person will begin to think the Ta'wiz to be effective in it self, then he should not be given the Ta'wiz. This will be the decision of the person who is giving the Ta'wiz, and not for us to decide for him.
There are many people who never make Dua and are neglectful of the Shariah injunctions, but always depend on Ta'wizes. For such people, it is better not to give them Ta'wizes, rather to direct them to the straight path.
Once, a sister asked me to mention to her a Dua or write something for her in order to get married to someone she desired, and she also mentioned that her Duas were not being answered. I asked: "Do you cover your self when you emerge out of your home?" no, was the reply. I said: "Do you perform your Salat (Prayers)?" Again, "no" was the reply. I said: "From tomorrow, you make this special Dua after the Fajr Salat, and you carry on performing this for 6 months, and Insha Allah your Dua will be accepted. Also a very Important Ta'wiz is that you recite a certain Dua and blow on your scarf and wear that scarf when emerging out of your home"!
In conclusion, generally it is permissible to use amulets (ta'wizes) in compliance with the conditions mentioned above. However, if there is something that is impermissible, then it will not be allowed.
