salewa01: Wa alaykum salam. Fasting is not compulsory for pregnant women. You can try to fast as long as you can and break whenever you feel you can't go on. If you decide to fast till 7pm, you can try eating a little at a time. - Dates/fruits with water sipped slowly( then observe magrib) - after magrib ( like 15 mins after your initial break) you can take cereal, pap or something very light and not filling at all. So that even when you feel nauseous, nothing comes out. - rest for like 1 hr ( Ishai/ Taraweeh) you can now eat the main meal, slowly. - dont lie down.immediately after the meal. Also try to use your prenatals in the morning. Dont stress yourself. In your 3rd trimester, your baby will draw what it needs from your body, if you are overweight you need not worry only you have to stock up to replenish what is lost. If you are underweight or have another underlyinv illness, please dont fast. And Allah knows best. May Allah make it easy for you. Amin 3 Likes |

10 Good things a Women can do on her Menses during Ramadan Almighty Allah has made it easy for a women to gain good deeds during her menses for she is still able to get the same rewards as men during Ramadan if not more. She gains the same reward as men doing their prayers in the Masjid and at the same time she is absolved of praying and does not have to make up for them afterwards. The good deed accounts don't stop when a women is menstruating for the angels are continuing writing down good deeds as long as a women is doing good actions in order to please Allah. The following are 10 good acts a women can do whilst on her menses in Ramadan: 1. Listen to Qur'an recitation: Listening to recitation is the perfume of the souls, the calmer of hearts, and the food of the spirit. Is is one of the most important psychological medicines. It is a source of pleasure, even to some animals – and pleasure in moderation purifies inner energy, enhances the functioning of the faculties, slows down senile decay by driving out its diseases, improves the complexion, and refreshes the entire body. Pleasure in excess, on the other hand, makes the illnesses of the body grow worse. Abu Nu’aim states, in his Tib an-Nabbi, that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said that the benefits of listening to recitation are increased when it is understood – that is, when its meaning is understood. Allah Himself says:…so give good news to My slaves, those who listen to the word and then follow the best of it…(Qur’an: 39.17-1 Source: As-Suyuti’s Medicine of the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) 2. Read the tafseer and meanings of the Qur'an To reflect upon the verses of Allaah is a form of worship; it is something that will draw one close to Allah, Most High. Allaah, Most High, Says in the Quran (what means): "Then do they not reflect upon the Quran? If it had been from [any] other than Allaah, they would have found within it much contradiction." [Quran: 4:82] We should try to understand the Qur'an: Ibn Kathir says regarding tafsir of [Soorah al-A'raf (7): 179]:The similitude of the one, who memorizes the Qur'an but does not act in accordance to it, is like a donkey, which carries a load of books, but does not understand! We should read and study the deeper meanings of the Qur'an and act upon everything we read as this is what the Sahaaba did. Some of the Sahaaba took a very long time finishing the Qur'an because they wanted to implement everything they read before moving on to the rest of the Qur'an. 3. Dhikr of Allah: A women on her menses can do excessive dhikr night and day. We will all have utter regret for each second wasted without remembering Allah: Mu`adh Ibn Jabal (RA) said that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "The People of Paradise will not regret anything except one thing alone: the hour that passed them by in which they made no remembrance of Allah." Narrated Bayhaqi in Shu`ab al-iman (1:392 #512-513) The highest rank in Jannah are for those who remembered Allah the most: Abu Sa`id (RA) narrates the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) was asked, "Which of the servants of Allah is best in rank before Allah on the Day of resurrection?" He said: "The ones who remember him much."I said: "O Messenger of Allah, what about the fighter in the way of Allah?" He answered: "Even if he strikes the unbelievers and mushrikin with his sword until it broke, and becomes red with their blood, truly those who do Dhikr are better than him in rank." (Ahmad, Tirmidhi, & Bayhaqi) Therefore we should remember Allah as much as we can & glorify him night & day until our very last breath. What better time to start remembering Allah more than in this most blessed month. So we should set ourselves daily targets of doing as much Dhikr as we can. We can remember & glorify Allah whatever we are doing throughout the day. At work, whilst cooking, shopping & even whilst relaxing. We should remember Allah in our heart's & not just by our tongues. We should also contemplate over his magnificence & his creations & imagine him in front of us as we glorify & remember him. The following are 10 Dhikr, supported by Hadith that one can recite throughout the day & night until our last breath: Note: We should try & aim to recite each of these 10 Dhikr a 100 times each which makes a total of 1000 a day minimum. 1. Asthaghfirullah 2. Subhaanallah 3. Alhamdulillah 4. Allahu Akbar 5. Laa ilaaha illallah 6. LA HAWLA WA LA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAH-HIL ALIYYIL ADHEEM 7. Asthaghfirullah-halladhee Laa ilaaha illa-huwal Hayyul Qayyuumu Wa athoobu Ilay Or short version: Asthaghfirullah 8. SUB-HAAN'ALLAAHi WA BI-HAM'DIHI SUB-HAAN'ALLAH-IL ADHEEM Or short version: SUB-HAAN'ALLAAHi WA BI-HAM'DIHI 9. Subhāna-llāhi, wa-l-hamdu li-llāhi, wa lā ilāha illā-llāhu, wa-llāhu akbar. Wa lā hawla wa lā quwwata illā bi-llāhi-l-aliyyi-l-azīm 10. Lā ilāha illā-llāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-ḥamdu yuhyi wa yumītu wa huwa ḥayyu-llā yamūtu abadan abada, ḏū-l-jalāli wa-l-ikrām, biyadihi-l-khayr, wa huwa alā kulli Shay-in qadīr Or the shortened version: Laa ilaaha illal-laahu wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa ‘alaa kulli shay-in qadeer We should also recite much of durood e Ibrahim which is the durood that is recited towards the end of Salaah. Or the shortest durood is: Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallim 4. Dua & Repentance A women in her menses can make excessive Dua to Allah night and day. Almighty Allah says in the Qur'an: "When my servants ask you concerning me, (tell them) I am indeed close (to them). I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calls on me." [2:186] The place of Dua is so high in front of Allah, that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallim) has said: "Nothing is more honourable to Allah the Most High than Dua." [Sahih al-Jami` no.5268]. Allah loves repentance & loves those who turn to him in sincere repentance: Truly Allah loves those who turn [to Him] in repentance... (Qur'an 2:222) Many of us rush our Dua’s & quite often our hearts are not present whilst we are making dua to Allah. That is why we lose out on much of the benefits & blessings of Dua. Therefore we should not let our minds wonder whilst in Dua & we should concentrate more, making sure our hearts are present whilst asking of Allah. Whilst we are in dua we should imagine Almighty Allah in front of us & so we should humble ourselves in front of him in a state of meekness & humility. It may also help if we made a list of what we want to ask Allah during our dua’s. We can then refer to this list as a reminder so that we can cover everything we need to ask him, which may help in making our Dua’s longer & more sincere. This is because we will not always remember everything we want to ask Allah unless we note it down & refer back to it when we need to. The times when Dua's are most accepted during a womens menses: 1. The third portion of the night shortly before dawn. 2. The period between Asr & Maghrib. 3. On Jummah on the hour before Maghrib especially just before Maghrib. 4. Whilst it rains. We should have FULL hope that Allah will accept our Dua’s if not in this world then in the hereafter. We should accept his decree for he knows best in all matters. Narrated ‘Ubaadah that the Messenger of Allah said, “Whoever seeks forgiveness for the believing men and believing women, Allah will write for him a good deed for EACH believing man and believing woman.” (Tabarrani) Subhanallah this deed can be done in EVERY dua and can you imagine how many rewards can be gained for each and every Muslim you make dua for from Adam alayhis 'salam until now and the last Muslim on earth. This is the easiest way to earn rewards that go into the billions and the more you make these dua's then the more your good deed account wil get filled! 5. Learning Islamic knolwedge: A women in her menses can learn Islamic knowledge as much as she can through books, online, teachers etc "Allah will exalt those who believe among you, and those who have been granted knowledge to high ranks." (Qur'an) "Seeking knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim (male and female)." (Hadith) THE VIRTUES OF KNOWLEDGE Allah (Most Exalted is He), Who created us and gave us sustenance, has also given us guidance. He said: "Verily We have created man into toil and struggle… Have We not made for him a pair of eyes; and a tongue, and a pair of lips; and shown him the two ways (obedience and disobedience)?" (Qur'an, Al-Balad 90:4-10) After providing us with the capability to contemplate, think and differentiate between things, He instructed us to know Him, to know his Prophets and to know His Deen, Islam. He said: "So know that there is no god save Allah, ask forgiveness for your sins and for the believing men and the believing women. Allah knows well your moving and your place of rest." (Qur'an, Muhammad 47:19) This verse shows the importance of knowledge and the virtues that Allah has given to it. It also shows that knowledge comes before deeds, since Allah instructed His Prophet to know that He is One and the only One worthy of worship. After that, He commanded him to ask forgiveness for himself, his family and for his Ummah. If Muslims truly realise the importance Islam places on knowledge and its virtues, they will definitely be keen to learn and teach others. They would start with themselves and their families; then their neighbours and the community at large. 6. Serving your parents: A man once asked the Prophet Muhammad (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallim): "'Should I join the jihad?' He asked, 'Do you have parents?' The man said, 'Yes!' The Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallim) said, 'Then strive by serving them!'" (Sahih Al-Bukhari, No. 5972) Therefore serving one's parents is even better than jihad so serve your parents as much as you can and gain rewards you can NEVER imagine! Treating your parents the best: To be obedient and to show kindness to parents has been enjoined in the Holy Quran in such a manner as to say that among the noble deeds, to obey parents, treat them respectfully and to show kindness to them is next to worshipping Almighty Allah. The Quran says, "Your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him, and that you be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour." - Surah Al Isra (17:23). The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said:“What a loss is for him! What a loss is for him! What a loss is for him!” Someone asked: “Who, O Allah's Messenger?” He replied: “He whose parents reach old age, either one or both of them, and he does not use their presence (by being good to them, etc.) to cause him to enter Paradise.” (Muslim) Abdullah bin Mas'ood (RA), observed: "I asked Allah's Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) which deed was the best." He replied: 'The Prayer at its appointed hour.' I (again) asked: "Then what?" He replied: 'Kindness to the parents.'... (Sahih Muslim: 120) So a women in her menses should do what she can to serve her parents in anyway that she can like for eg clean the house so that her parents do less, attend to their every need etc. Surely she will be pleasing Allah so much and gaining unimaginable rewards! 7. Giving dawah: "And who is better in speech than he who invites to Allah and does righteous deeds, and says: 'I am one of the Muslims.'" [al-Qur'aan, Fussilat(41):33] A women on her menses can give dawah to other sisters and non Muslims. We should spend our lives inviting others towards Allah whether they are Muslim or non Muslim. "Let there arise out of you a band of people inviting to all that is good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong. They are prosperous ones." (3.104) We should not argue with them or use a harsh manner but use wisdom, tact and the best approach possible: Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious. (16:125) We should enjoin good and forbid evil for it is a duty upon us: The Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: ‘Indeed, by Allah, you either enjoin good and forbid evil and catch hold of the oppressor and persuade him to act justly and stick to the truth, or, Allah will involve the hearts of some of you with the hearts of others and will curse you as he had cursed them’ (At-Tirmidhi) Whatever beneficial knowledge we have we should convey it unto others so that they may also benefit from it: Zaid b. Thabit (RA) narrated the Prophet(Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: "May Allah cause to have freshness and brilliance the man who hears what I say and keeps it in mind, then convey it to others. (Ahmad, 5-183) We should know that any good action another does because of some beneficial knowledge we have shared then we will also have a share of it: "Whoever guides [another] to a good deed will get a reward similar to the one who performs it." (Sahih Muslim) So she can give dawah by text, e mail, direct or indirect 8. Best Manners, Character & Conduct A women on her menses should show the best manners, character and conduct in this blessed month and throughout her life. She should strive to be of those with the best of characters and manners as that is what will elevate us in the hereafter: Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alahi wasallam) used to say: The best amongst you are those who have the best manners and character. (Related by al-Bukhari) Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: There is none heavier in the scales of the Hereafter than good character, (Hadith narrated by al-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud). Subhanallah so surely we should work on having a good character and manners for it is most heavy on the scales. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "The best loved by me and the nearest to me on the seats on the Day of Resurrection are those who have the best manners and conduct amongst you, who are intimate, are on good terms with others and are humble, and the most hated by me and who will be on the furthest seats from me are those who are talkative and arrogant." (Tirmidhi) So let us strive to perfect our manners, character and conduct and know that these good deeds will be of the heaviest on the scales and will enable us to reach the highest ranks of Jannah 9. Charity: A women in her menses should spend in the way of Allah as much as she can for charity extinguishes sins save one from the fire: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: “Charity wipes out sins as water extinguishes fire.” (Tirmidhi) Charity should be paid secretly: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said: “Righteous deeds protect a person from an evil end; a charity spent in secret extinguishes Allah’s wrath; and maintaining good ties of kinship increases ones lifespan.” (Tabaraani) Removing harmful objects from people’s way is also a charity: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said:“I saw a man enjoying himself in Paradise (simply) because he removed from a road a tree that used to harm people.”(Muslim) Providing for ones family is a charity: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wasallam) said:“If a man provides for his family hoping for the reward, it will be counted as charity for him.”(Bukhari & Muslim) She can also feed a fasting person and involve herself in charity work in her local community or for a charity organisation. She can do various projects to raise money and awareness for good causes. 10. Serve and obey her Husband It is obligatory on all Muslim woman to obey their husbands in all matters of good. She is promised Paradise for fulfilling her obligations unto her husband. Abu Hurairah reported that Allaah’s Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “If a woman prays her five (daily) prayers and keeps her private parts chaste and obeys her husband, she will enter Paradise from any of the doors of Paradise she wishes.” [Ibn Hibbaan] So whether a women is on her menses or not she should do her utmost to serve and obey her husband in the best manner possible for the pleasure of Allaha and in doing so she will not only be pleasing Allah but she will gain immense and unimaginable rewards. Conclusion Therefore a women on her menses must never feel that she is not able to gain good deeds, blessings and reward just because she is on her menses. There is NOTHING stopping her from gaining IMMENSE rewards equal to that of a man if not more. All that is required from her is effort, the right good intentions and sincerety in her actions. May Allah enable all women on their menses to do much good. Ameen #Copied# 5 Likes 3 Shares

10 Ramadan Deeds for Busy People. 1. Six billion good deeds in a few seconds: make dua for the ummah’s forgiveness The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever seeks forgiveness for the believing men and believing women, Allah will write for him a good deed for each believing man and believing woman.” [Narrated by Tabarani] 2. Forgiveness for your sins each and every day– Subhan Allahi wa bihamdihi The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Whoever says, ‘Subhan Allaahi Wa bihamdihi, {Allah is free from imperfection and His is the praise}. One hundred times a day, will be forgiven all his sins even if they were as much as the foam of the sea.” [Narrated by Bukhari] Ramadan is all about forgiveness, so will we take a minute? 3. 1000 good deeds in a minute, and a 1000 sins forgiven “Is anyone of you incapable of earning one thousand rewards)a day?” Someone from the gathering asked, “How can anyone of us earn a thousand rewards?” Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: “Glorify Allah a hundred times by just saying “Subhanallah” and a Good deeds will be written for you, or a thousand sins will be wiped away.” [Narrated by Muslim] 4. Planting date-palm trees in Paradise The Prophet (peace be upon him) said in a hadith that whoever says “Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi subhan Allahil adheem” a date palm tree will be planted for him in paradise [Narrated by Tirmidhi]. In a few minutes, how many hundreds of date palm trees can we plant? 5. Reward for multiple hours of dhikr in a few seconds The Mother of the Believers, Juwairiyah bint Al-Harith reported that, “the Prophet came out from my apartment in the morning as I was busy in performing the dawn prayer. He came back in the forenoon and found me sitting there. The Prophet said, ”Are you still in the same position as I left you.” I replied in the affirmative. Thereupon the Prophet said, “I recited four phrases three times after I had left you. If these are to be weighed against all you have recited since morning, these will be heavier. These are: Subhan-Allah Wa bihamdihi, ‘adada khalqihi, wa rida-a nafsihi, wa zinatah ‘arshihi, wa midada kalimatihi (Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with His praise, as many times as the number of His creatures, in accordance with His Good Pleasure, equal to the ink that may be used in recording the words (for His Praise).” [Narrated by Muslim] 6. Even your shopping can give you a million rewards! The Prophet said: “Whoever enters a market and says: ‘Laa ilaaha ill Allah Wahdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul Mulku Wa lahul Hamdu yuhyi Wa yumeetu Wa huwa Hayyun laa yamoot, bi yadihil khayr, wahuwa ‘alaa kulli shay’ in qadeer’ {There is nothing worthy of worship but Allah, He is alone without partner, to Him belongs the dominion and the praise, he causes life and death and He is the Living One and will never die. In His Hand is all good, and He is over all things capable.) Allah will write for him a million good deeds erase a million of his bad deeds and build for him a house in Jannah.” And in another narration, instead of mentioning that Allah will build a house in Jannah, it states, “and he will be raised one million levels.” [Narrated by Tirmidhi] 7. A third of the Quran in a minute The Prophet said, “Are any of you unable to recite a third of the Qur’an in a night?” That was difficult for them and they said, “Which of us is able to do that, Messenger of Allah?” He said, “Qul hu Allahu ahad” [Surah Ikhlas (112)] constitutes a third of the Qur’an.’” [Narrated by Bukhari] 8. Rewards even while chilling! It is reported that “There are many people reclining on comfortable beds and making the Dhikr of Allah on earth. Allah will grant them elevated ranks.” [Narrated by Ibn Hibban] This is because even the luxury and ease did not prevent them from remembering Allah. 9. Get that house in Paradise! It only takes a few minutes. The Prophet said, “Whoever recites Qul huwa Allaahu ahad [Surah Ikhlas] ten times, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise.” [Narrated by Tabarani] 10. Give lots of salam to the Muslims you meet! Imran bin Husayn (may Allāh be pleased with him) recounts that once he and others were in the presence of the Prophet ṣ when a man came and said, “Assalamu alaikum”, to which the Prophet responded and said, “Ten”, then another man came and he said “Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullah”, to which the Prophet responded and said “Twenty”. Finally, a third man came and said “Assalamu alaikum 2 Likes |

Ramadan Day 4 6 TIPS FOR A HEALTHY AND HAPPY RAMADAN Ramadan is a humbling and purifying month, yet it can also leave you feeling tired and sluggish, as well as a few kilos heavier, if you over eat at night. Here are a few tips to make sure this Ramadan is different: 1. Drink plenty of water - hydration is key. 2. Get enough sleep. Your body needs enough hours to ‘reboot’ before the next day of fasting. 3. Avoid caffeine and sweet treats, as they encourage dehydration. 4. Don’t skip Sah..... r. You need all the protein and carbs you can get to sustain you throughout the day. 5. Eat a balanced diet. 6. Avoid the sun. Being in the sun for too long while fasting will lead to headaches. May Almighty Allah spare our lives till the end of Ramadan and beyond. May HE accept it as an act of ibaadaah (Amin). ............................................................

dominique: Wa alaykum salam. Amin. I dont think we can start from the back. From Fathia to Nas is the way to go. Same thing here, I have never completed the Quran but this time, I have promised to go farther than I did last year. It is the intention that matters May Allah make it easy for us. Sis Rainyday, after the storm comes the sunshine. Do you want your sunshine to come without your Imman in your heart. Even for those born into Islam, there is a point in our lives when we decided to actually be muslims. Look back at that point, rediscover your Imman. Allah did not give us promises of wealth, children, long life, good health if we worship ....those are earthly things. We pray and beg him for those things. Even those who dont want them, get. Sometimes our prayers are answered, not in the way we want them, but in the way we need them. In the Quran, we read the stories of how Allah protected people and had their interest at heart without their knowledge. Allah knows best. Rediscover your imman, I do that by reading my English Quran, cos I can always understand that. I read my Quran in my quiet time and rediscover why I fell in love with Islam. I wish you the very best sis. Aim07, brown spotting between menstrual period isnt your period. You should be able to fast with it. I once heard a lecture where a lady who has been on her period for about 2 months raised the question of when to pray. The lecturer told her to count the usual menstrual days, add like 2 days to it and she is clean. That the remaining blood isnt menstrual. IamEdun, Rhukie...Jazakallah Khaeran 4 Likes |

Six Tips to Make This Your Best Ramadan Ever! *Organize Yourself* The key to having a successful Ramadan is to organize, plan and then execute. Examples for your goals could be: Reading Quran with meaning and writing my reflections each day Learning 99 names of Allah and using it in my dua. Doing one secret deed between me andAllah *Mountain of Rewards* Ramadan is a month filled with blessings and mercy. Any good deed you do gets multiplied many times over, so don’t miss out on collecting a mountain of good deeds. How: Involve others Encourage others to do a good deed rather than doing it all by yourself. This is especially helpful if you’re feeling down and out. Your rewards get multiplied manifold. Give and give some_ more Want to see the barakah and blessings in your life increase manifold? Give charity. Want to see your duas answered? Give charity. charity extinguishes sins like water puts off fire [At-tirmidhi]. Tame That Tongue. Allah doesn’t like a fasting body which doesn’t desist from foul words or backbiting or slander. *Time 4 a New Friend. Yes, this month is perfect for you to make a new friend, a companion who is not only going to be your source of strength and support, but can heal your scars, mend your heart, boost your eemaan and give you joy and happiness like no other. It’s time to build a lifelong relationship with Quran this Ramadan. How Make QuranBuddies Discuss one page or even half a page of Quran with your friends/family/siblings/spouse/children every day in Ramadan. Fix a time for this activity. Talk about your reflections. You can also include tafseer. Involve your family members. There is nothing more beautiful than learning Allah’s deen together. *What if the Spark Dies? This usually happens after a week or so. Soon, you realize that your Ramadan days are no different from the rest of the year. Yes! Here’s what you need to do. Intentions matter: Seek to please اللّـه alone and not to expect praise from family or friends. Seek your reward from اللّـه ONLY. Beg For Strength. An overdose of dua never hurts, so repent, cry and beg from the depths of your heart to الله Baby Steps Take baby steps rather than not taking any step at all. Start with 10 minutes of extra worship and build it up from there. Start with one page of Quran and build it up from there. Its quality and sincerity over quantity and show off! "Walk with the end goal of paradise in mind and not just the end goal of Ramadan in mind". Jazak Allah khairan for Reading! 5 Likes 3 Shares |
