As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmutallahi Wa Baraakaatahu,
It’s your Sunnah Infographics Family here.
Hope you're well and in good health.
How's the fasting going?
Feeling slightly fatigued?
Well not to worry...
We’ve reached the halfway point of Ramadān.
And now it’s time to dig a little deeper..
We know you have it in you!
Remember, the road has been cleared for you.
And you're nearly at the finish line.
So put your foot down..
Grab the steering wheel tight...
And go full throttle!
Ayat Al Qur’an - Surah Al-Qadr (The Night of Decree) - (Quran 97:1-5)
بِّسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةِ ٱلْقَدْرِ
Verily, We sent it—(the whole Qurʾān)—down (to the lowest heaven) during the Night of Decree (for it to be revealed piecemeal thereafter).
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ
And what will inform you what is the Night of Decree?
لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ
The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.
تَنَزَّلُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ
The Angels and the Spirit—(Gabriel)—descend therein by the permission of their Lord with (decrees) for every affair.
سَلَٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ
Peace it is (for Allāh’s believing servants) (or: as the salutation from the Angels to every believer they come across), until the emergence of dawn.
1 Hadith
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَفِظْنَاهُ وَإِنَّمَا حَفِظَ مِنَ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ، وَمَنْ قَامَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ ". تَابَعَهُ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ.
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever fasted the month of Ramadan out of sincere Faith (i.e. belief) and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his past sins will be forgiven, and whoever stood for the prayers in the night of Qadr out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven ."
Sahih al-Bukhari 2014
Reflection Point
As we approach the last 10 nights of Ramadān.
It's really about making the most of the time that you have left.
And in reality..
Catching Laylatul Qadr.
The Night of Decree.
A night that is worth more than 1,000 months of worship.
SubhanAllah.
How generous of a Lord do we have!
الْكَرِيمُ (Al-Karim)
The Most Generous.
Alhamdullilah.
So the next question is...
Why do we not rush to this mighty transaction?
A transaction..
That if it was of monetary value.
You would find the majority of mankind dropping everything.
And chasing it..
So what about your investment in the hearafter?
The place you are heading to...
In which there is no choice in the matter!
Come on...
Let's use our sound reasoning.
The month has flown by...
Just like your life will fly by.
So be smart and put your effort in the investment that will never end.
Throughout the last 10 nights.
The opportunities are endless.
So to make it easy to rack up as many good deeds as possible.
We have designed an Infographic with 10 things to remember.
10 Things in 10 Nights!
Designed in a way to make it easy for you to look over.
And easy to follow insha Allah.
This week, your task is to sit down with the family.
Go over the 10 things that you can do throughout the last 10 nights.
And make sure everyone in the family has a plan Insha Allah.
After all…
Opportunities don’t come by often.
And when they do..
You have to grab them by the scruff of the neck.
And not let them slip away…
