Please Reflect on Islam

When you walk in the road, you see nice buildings, road, shopping mails etc;
When you are at home, you see computers, TV, nice paintings.
NONE of these just appears all of a sudden. With almighty Allah's blessings, human
used the given intelligence to build these.

Now let's look at a similar view:
We have trees, seas, sun, moon, solar system , air around us.
Did they just appear all of a sudden ? Who created them ?
We human born from a tiny blood clot, become baby, teen, old and die.
This process just happens ?
Who designed this flawless system ?

If you think with an open mind, Nothing can be just created by itself.
Don't take everything from granted.
There are just a small number of examples
that proves Allah the almighty have created the perfect world around us.

Do you think our best scientific team can create even a tiny creature like a "FLY" ?
No they can't.
Can someone make a fly, give life, and make it live ?
No oone can except Allah. Allah Akbar (Allah is Great).

If you think all these , you will know "There is NO god BUT Allah".
May Allah bless us and show us the right path.

Aameen.

Laylat al-Qudr

As-salamualaikum All,

Back in Bangladesh/India/Pakistan, we did observe Laylat al-Qudr on 26th night. But, according to authentic information, Laylat al-qudr is found in the last 10 nights in Ramadan. Praying on Laylat al-qudr is better than praying 1000 months which is 83 years of praying !!!

So, I hope you all can understand the importance Laylat-al-Qudr and try to do as much night prayers, reading quran , duas in the remaining nights in Ramadan this year insha-allah.



Finally, I wanted to share a very important dua that I leaned this year. Please recite it as much as you can at night times:

Aisha radhiya Allahu `anha, that she said: “O Messenger of Allah! What if I knew which night Lailatul-Qadr was, then what should I say in it?” He said.- “Say.- (Allahumma innaka ‘affuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘annee.)

Meaning:
“O Allah You are The One Who pardons greatly, and loves to pardon, so pardon me.”. [at-Tirmithi and Ibn Majah with a Sahih Isnad]


JazakAllah Khair

Importance of Fazr and Esha prayer in Jamaat

Just mentioning few Hadith that shows how important for Muslim is to attend the Fajor and Isha pryaer in Jammat. May Allah help us to understand the importance of it and try our best to join the Jamaat.


Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,

"If ppl knew the reward of Isha and Fajr prayers in jamaat,
they would come to offer them even if they had to crawl."

Bukhari

Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said,"No prayer is harder for the hypocrites than the Fajr and the Isha prayers."
Bukhari 1.626

`Uthman bin `Affan reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah saying: One who performs Isha’ prayer in congregation, is as if he has performed Salat for half of the night. And one who performs the Fajr prayer in congregation, is as if he has performed Salat the whole night.

[Muslim]


“Angels come to you in shifts by night and by day. They meet at salaat al-fajr and salaat al-‘asr, then those who had stayed with you at night ascend, and are asked by the One Who knows better than they: ‘How did you find My servants?’ They say, ‘We left them when they were praying, and we came to them when they were praying.’” (Reported by al-Bukhaari, al-Fath, 2/33).
