58 Days Until The 30

——– a good reminder from my class-mate—–

Assalam alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu yaa ikhwaan fi-Llah,

There were many Muslims with us last year who are not with us now. May Allāh SWT bless them all & join them among the ranks of the righteous. When we make du'aa for ourselves and our families, we should also remember the Muslims & Mumineen, the living & those on whom Allāh SWT has decreed death.

And may He SWT make us among those who will experience this coming ramadhan, just 2 short months away. Āmīn.

May Allāh SWT, al-Ghafoor, ar-Rahman, ar-Raheem make us among those who will experience the blessings of Laylatul-Qadr. Āmīn.

This is a reminder to myself & my brothers that we should strive to do more 'ibada today than we did yesterday, and more tomorrow than we are capable of today. Rasulullah SAS taught us, “khamsa qabl khams” so we know that we must utilize our youth, health, wealth, free time, and life before they vanish.

Finally, may Allāh SWT allow those of us who have not visited His house and performed our Hajj rituals to finally do so. I ask Allāh SWT to give each believers the means to perform Hajj from the moment the niyyah is fixed in his heart, until the moment he completes his farewell tawaaf of the ka'bah. Āmīn.

Akhukum fi-Llah,
Abu Ibraheem
