Prophet Muhammad sws declared that: ““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).”

“We have to educate ourselves and our children. We must not be deceived by the Dajjal – the false Messiah. We must memorise the first 10 verses of Sura Kahf, Sura 18, as a protection….”
Eid khutbah in English, Arabic and Urdu from the UAE:
“On these days, it is also highly recommended to honour ties of kinship, visit friends and neighbours and shake hands with people. By doing this, Muslims will be rewarded and have their sins removed, as our Prophet Muhammad pbuh said, “Two Muslims will not meet and shake hands having their sins forgiven them before they separate.” Allah has made for us these moments for showing joy and cherishing some good leisure times for the sake of remembering His bounties on us and bringing happiness to our family.
In this regard, Aisha, may Allah be satisfied with her, said, “Abu Bakr came to see me and I had two girls with me from among the girls of the Ansar and they were singing what the Ansar recited to one another at the Battle of Buaath. They were not, however, singing girls. Upon this Abu Bakr said protestingly, ‘Musical instruments of Satan in the house of Allah’s Apostle and this too on Eid day?’ Upon this the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said, ‘ Abu Bakr, every people have a festival and it is our festival (so let them play on)’.”…”

“We all commit sins, but we must never despair of Allah’s Mercy. Never think that you’re beyond forgiveness. Never despair. Despair is a great sin. Allah forgives as long as we repent sincerely and turn back towards Him…”

“If you’re listening to this and thinking: “Ah, I must get so-and-so to hear this. It’s for them!” … then you have a problem. This talk isn’t meant for others. It’s for you! You may think you’re OK, that other people have a problem with their egos. No, It’s you! Start with yourself first….”
By Dr Hossam Roushdi “Isn’t Allah wonderful? Isn’t Allah generous? Whenever we stop our sinful behaviour and seek sincere repentance, Allah converts our bad deeds into good ones, so that we earn even bigger rewards…”

“The great scholars who founded the 4 major schools of Islamic Jurisprudence showed exemplary respect and deference towards each other. They weren’t arrogant or dogmatic. They taught us the classic rule of respectful disagreement: “I think I’m right, but I may be wrong. I think you’re wrong, but you may be right…” This way we can weigh up arguments without losing face and without humiliating each other…

“Sometimes, less is more. We can become Minimalists. The less we chase after wealth and status, the more we can cultivate a sense of inner contentment, happiness and a joy that lasts….”
