The sighting of the crescent moon fills the heart with an overwhelming peace. The moon looks its most beautiful in Ramzan, glowing softly in the darkness. Yet SubhanAllah, despite its beauty, Allah reminds us that we are the best of His creations. Alhamdulillah, once again Allah has blessed us with the arrival of the holy month of Ramzan, abundant of mercy, forgiveness, and countless opportunities to return to Him.
“Laqad khalaqnal insaana fee ahsani taqweem.”
“Indeed, We created mankind in the best of stature.”
— (Surah At-Tin 95:4)
Kitne log the jo pichle Ramzan hamare saath the… aur aaj hamare darmiyan nahi hai. Allah unn sab ko Jannat-ul-Firdous mein a’la makaam ata farma, unki qabron ko roshan farma, unki maghfirat farma. Ameen Ya Rabb.
Ya Allah, duniya ke sabhi dastarkhawan pe tu khub barkat aur rehmat ata farma. Let no home sleep hungry. Ease the suffering of the oppressed. Grant peace and protection to our brothers and sisters in Palestine. Strengthen their sabr and reward them immensely. Ameen
Ya Rabb, keep us firm on Seerat-e-Mustaqeem. Guide our hearts, purify our intentions, and allow this Ramzan to transform us into better believers. Protect our imaan in this duniya full of distractions. Humein haya, sabr aur shukr ata farma. Ameen.
Under one roof, pure raunak, warmth, happiness, sukoon wrapped around us 🤍🌙. Sehri ki dholak rocking in our mohalla, waking us up, and we rush from our warm beds straight to Tahajjud, with dewy eyes and sincere hearts fully awake. Ghar noor se raushan aur rehmat barasti hui har kone mai . The dastarkhawn is laid, everyone eating together, sharing bites and smiles, teasing each other, to not overload our stomachs XD
Then comes the last sip of water… honton par hazaaron duaein. With trembling hearts we recite, “Wa bisawmi ghadin nawaiytu min shahri Ramzan.” The intention of fasting whispered softly.
Phir Fajr ka wuzu, a whole jamaat standing together, we all brothers and sisters, our parents beside each other. As night gently breaks into day, birds begin to chirp, and the sky slowly brightens, with sukoon and hope. ✨
The true manzar is when the dastarkhwan is gracefully laid out beset with an array of sumptuous delicacies, savory delights, golden fritters, fragrant curries, fresh fruits, and the most beloved of all, dates. Crystal glasses filled with chilled Rooh Afza, its deep ruby hue glowing softly, sit beside plates waiting to be shared.
Dishes arrive from different homes, one family sends a savory specialty, another shares a homemade dessert. It is not merely food; it is affection plated with care, generosity wrapped in tradition. The entire family gathers around the dastarkhwan, hearts quietly whispering duas, a serene anticipation in the air as everyone awaits the blessed call of Maghrib.
Phir jaise hi azaan hoti hai, iftaar ki dua padhte hue, khajoor se roza kholte hain, honoring the beautiful Sunnat of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. A sip of cool Rooh Afza follows, sweet, refreshing, and soothing after a long day of fasting.
Ramazan humein sabr, ita‘at aur shukr ka dars deta hai. Jab lazeez tareen at‘aam nigahon ke saamne ho, phir bhi banda apni khwahish ko rok kar sirf Allah ke hukm ka muntazir rehta hai. Maghrib ki azaan ke saath hi woh lamha aata hai jab sabr shukr mein badal jata hai.
SubhanAllah! rehmaton aur barkaton se bhara mahina hai.
Beshaq, Ramzan mein ghar, Jannat ka manzar lagta hai. SubhanAllah
aaj mausam bhi kitna thanda aur sukoon bhara hai. Subah ki halki baarish, thandi hawa, baareek sa hilal, aur bohot sukoon Alhumdulilah.
Ya Allah, hum sab musalmaano, ke gunaahon ko muaaf kar, hume nek raaste per chalne ki taufeeq ata farma. Ameen.
Ramzan flows beautifully through three sacred Ashras.
The 1st Ashra begins today, the days of Rahmat, where Allah’s mercy descends in abundance.
The 2nd Ashra brings Maghfirat, a time to seek sincere forgiveness.
And the 3rd Ashra concludes with Nijaat, praying for salvation from the Hellfire.
Wonderful words
