Dhikr: The polish for the heart O You who believe! Remember Allâh with much remembrance. [Ahzaab 33:41] The Messenger () said, “Shall I not tell you the best of your deeds, the nicest to Your Owner, the highest in your ranks, better for you than spending gold and silver, and better for you than meeting your enemy whereupon you strike their necks and they strike your necks?” They said, “Yes, O Messenger of Allaah ().” He said, “The remembrance of Allaah (dhikr).”1 (i.e. Dhikr is better than giving in charity, jihaad and martyrdom) Virtue/ Reward2 Times English Meaning Transliteration Arabic Best dhikr is reading the Qur’aan. 10 rewards for each letter read.

  • Make This Your Best Ramadan Yet! in the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

    Make This Your Best Ramadan Yet! in the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

    A DAILY PLANNER AND GUIDE FOR ALL AGES! 3655 Wheeler Ave Alexandria, VA 22304 IRUSA.ORG 1-855-447-1001 Tax ID# 95-4453134 Make this your best Ramadan yet! in the name of allah, the most gracious, the most merciful All thanks and praise is due to Allah alone, the Lord of the Worlds. We praise Him, seek refuge with Him, and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils of our souls, and the mistakes in our actions. Whomever Allah Guides, there is none who can misguide him, and whoever Allah misguides, there is none who can guide him. Verily, there is none worthy of being worshipped except Allah, and Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is His servant and Messenger. Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) reminds us in the Qur’an that the month of Ramadan contains limited precious days — with an extraordinary opportunity to reach out and connect to Him. He tells us of this powerfully, All the actions of people are for them, except for fasting. Fasting is for Me and it is I who rewards it. Hence the purpose of this month is Allah — and Allah (swt) alone. Fasting is a means to attain nearness to Him. Keeping this in mind, we must make the most of these days. The best way to take advantage of Ramadan is to develop a Ramadan action plan — because a failure to plan is a plan for failure. If you don’t set goals, it gets difficult to measure yourself and assess the current state of your worship.

  • Trends in Dacwah Activities in Ilorin: an Appraisal of the Jabata Group

    Trends in Dacwah Activities in Ilorin: an Appraisal of the Jabata Group

    Ilorin Journal of Religious Studies, (IJOURELS) Vol.8 No.1, 2018, pp.51-62 TRENDS IN DACWAH ACTIVITIES IN ILORIN: AN APPRAISAL OF THE JABATA GROUP Abdulwahab Danladi Shittu Department of Religions, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria +2348061235260; [email protected] And Abimbola Ridwanullah Idowu Graduate of Islamic Studies from the Department of Religions, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria +2348137628707; [email protected] Abstract The city of Ilorin has influenced many cities in southern Nigeria so much so that the history of Islam in this region may not be complete without mentioning the Ilorin factor. This glory is credited to the effort of early scholars who were subtle in their call to Islam. Generations after them followed suit in the aspect of objectives and styles of dacwah (call to Islam) until recently when a group called „the Jabata group‟ adopted a dacwah method that is diametrically opposed to the existing dacwah method of the community. This group does not only condemn the existing methods but equally accuses the predecessors in the field of dacwah of heresy and non sincerity of purpose. It is to this background that this work examined the methods and doctrines of the Jabata group, with a view to identifying the relevance and efficiency of the new method and style to the growth of Islam and the unity of Muslim community in Nigeria. The study is descriptive in respect of the new method, and comparative in terms of comparing both the old and the new methods. Findings of the work revealed that the teachings of the Jabata group are not only against the established and accepted culture of the people but also a threat to the unity of the Nigerian Muslim community in particular and the Nigerian nation in general.

    Masjid Al-Aqsa in 2020

    Charity Reg. No. 1105056 Charity Reg. FEBRUARY 2021 FEBRUARY The latest from MUSLIM HANDS Al-Quds Special The Prophet (saw) was asked, ‘If one of us cannot visit it (Al-Aqsa), what should we do?’ He (saw) said, ‘Then he should make a gift of some oil to be lit therein [in its lamps]. For indeed the one who gifts this to it will be like the one who has prayed therein [worth 1,000 prayers]’. [Ahmad] THANK YOU FOR ILLUMINATING THE QIBALI MASJID In March 2019, we were honoured to offer you the opportunity to gain the reward of praying in Masjid Al-Aqsa. The previous lighting system hadn’t been replaced since 1986, and the old wiring meant there was a risk of fire. Your donations are helping us install a state-of-the-art lighting system in the Blessed Masjid, rewir- ing it completely so generations of worshippers can pray in safety and our history is preserved. 1,400 years ago, the Prophet Muhammad (saw) stood in this same place and led all the prophets (as) in prayer. It is a site so sacred that he (saw) advised his followers to visit it at least once. The reward of praying here is equivalent to a thousand prayers and, subhanAllah, also means all your sins will be forgiven! The Messenger of Allah (saw) said about Masjid Al-Aqsa, Look inside to see all the other amazing ways ‘What an amazing place of worship it is!’ [Hakim] you are supporting Masjid Al-Aqsa and its people.

    The Significance & Importance of the First Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah

    The Significance & Importance of The First Ten Days of Dhul-Hijjah http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDPJhI3WcrI All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. May peace and blessings be upon the Chief of the Messengers, Muhammad. Indeed it is a great favour and blessing from Allah that He has made for His righteous servants periods of time within which they can increase in good deeds to attain great rewards and one of these opportunistic periods is the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah (the final month of the Islamic Calendar, in which the Hajj is performed). SUPERIORITY OF THE FIRST TEN DAYS OF DHUL-HIJJAH The excellence of these ten days have been mentioned in the Qur'an and the Sunnah. 1. Allah says in the Qur'an: "By the dawn and by the ten nights … " [Al-Qur'an 89:1-2] Ibn Kathir said that "the ten nights" referred to here are the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, and this opinion was also held by Ibn Abbas, Ibn az-Zubair, Mujahid and others. 2. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: "There are no deeds as excellent as those done in these ten days." They (the companions listening) said, "Not even Jihad?" He, peace be upon him, said, "No, not even Jihad except a man who goes forth endangering his life and wealth and does not return with anything." [Recorded by Imam al-Bukhari] 3. Allah says: " … and remember the name of Allah in the appointed days." [Al-Qur'an 2:203] Ibn Abbas and Ibn Kathir said this means in the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah.
