Salaam:

Jazakum Allah Khairan for this Duaa..

"Let every moment of my life
Be in your obedience
Let every day and every night
Be a means of getting closer to You!
And let us be steadfast in our Imaan
And we beg of you,Oh ALLAH."

AMEEN!

Now the real question thats on everyone's minds:

"How much eidhi do I get?"

As Salaamu Alaikum

Eid Mubarak to one and all! Taqabbalallahu Minna wa minkum!

Maaf and duas!

WAs sAlaam

Because I am not in jersey (with my 50+ relatives), I had one of my cousins make me an 'Eidi Donation Box'. Now my relatives can conveniently donate to hungry and poor Justojus everywhere.

only loyal hidayans would comment here on eid.

or people in search of eidhi.

Sahih Muslim
Book 006, Number 2614:

Narrated by Abu Ayyub al-Ansari

Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: “He who observed the fast of Ramadan and then followed it with six (fasts) of Shawwal. It would be as if he fasted perpetually.”

Asalaam Aleikum Warahmatullah Wbarakatu,

Sahih Bukhari
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 93:
Narrated Abu Said:

I heard the Prophet (Peace be upon him) saying, "Indeed, anyone who fasts for one day for Allah's Pleasure, Allah will keep his face away from the (Hell) fire for (a distance covered by a journey of) seventy years."

Assalamu alaikum.

//ramadanish.blogspot.com/2005/10/exclusive-ramadanish-interview-with.html


I, Risama am here to give an interview with someone who I have known for many years. We've been through thick and thin, all the ups and downs of life. But since my conversion to Islam, our relationship has been strained. In this holy month of Ramadan, I wanted to sorta catch up with an old friend and kinda of explain why things have been difficult between us. Also, I wanted to give my old friend a platform to speak so that she could get her point across. You know everyone, even the commanding self, the nafs, has the right to speak.

Here's my old friend, known to many as the "ego", Ms. Nafs

RIS: Salaam alaikum nafs!

Nafs: Walaikum.

RIS: Hey, you don't have to be like that. I know this month has been hard on you but believe me, it's for the best.

Nafs: Well, it's not like you've been listening to me anyway.

RIS: Well, it's not like I can't hear you. You've been complaining a lot lately. Everytime I try to pray, you complain. Whenever I give in charity, you complain. Even if I try to do a little dhikr, you start whining.

Nafs: Okay, I'll admit. I was little worried when you started this Islam thing. You wanna stop eating pork, fine. You were never big on pork anyway. Chicken seemed to be your weakness. You wanted to start praying five times a day and I wasn't a fan of Fajr but okay, I can deal. Then Ramadan rolls around. You want the TV off. You want to pray the max for tarawih. You want to give sadaqa 'til it hurts. I mean, you're a good person. You're a good Muslim. You don't have to read Qur'an 'til your eyes hurt. Why are you being so hard on yourself?

RIS: There you go again buttering me up. Doing more prayers can never hurt and this is Ramadan! You only get one month that's jam packed with multiple blessings. One good action is multiplied by a thousand. We can't miss out on this. Who knows if we will see another Ramadan.

Nafs: Dude, you're young. What could happen to you?

RIS: Well, I could have drowned in New Orleans, remember? You are very good at forgetting things. I could have been born and raised in Pakistan and there on the same day that the earthquake happened. A school full of little girls was destroyed by falling debris. Or I could be in Iraq or Palestine. Last time I checked, death doesn't discrimate. Let's not be naive.

Nafs: But I'm tired! Don't your legs hurt doing tarawih? Why do you have to aim for 20 rakats? Why not 8? God understands. It's just Sunnah prayers.

RIS: Okay, I'm going to pretend you didn't say that. Now if an elderly woman in the dead heat in Sudan can pray 20 rakats, so can I. What else should we do? Watch TV?

Nafs: So you don't like TV anymore?

RIS: Okay, let's lay off the TV issue.

Nafs: And I am hungry. So hungry.

RIS: Be happy we can break fast at sunset. The people of Niger feel hunger all the time. So what's a day's worth of fast compared to the starvation of millions.

Nafs: Aaah!

RIS: Are you whining?

Nafs: I liked the old you better!

RIS: Things change, sis. And who knows how we will be in five years, ten years, or fifty years from now, insha'Allah. But we are progressing towards Allah, insha'Allah. You may hate me now and you are complaining about the reading, the praying, the fasting and what not. It's for your own good. Trust me. Jahanam doesn't look too pleasing.

Nafs: Well, it's not as if I have a choice.

RIS: Hey, shaytan is locked up for only a few more days. We only have so much time left until all these good deeds become harder to do. So cheer up and stop bugging me. Stop flattering me. Stop whining or face the consequences of those gaining taqwa.

Nafs: Is that a threat?

RIS: Yep! You've wasted a lot of my time but I am forgiving. We need to work for Jennah so skipping Sunnahs and watching hours of TV just ain't gonna cut it. But I have good news!

Nafs: What?

RIS: Laylatul Qadr is in a few days! We're gonna do some power prayers and some marathon dhikr and some istifghar and we're gonna top it off with dua, dua, dua!

Nafs: Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

salaam:

Casual Comment of the day:

Did you guys know that "Disco" in Latin means "I Learn"...Hmmm, Maybe Muslims should have the intention of doing "Disco" every day.
:)

Salaam:

Ok those of you who are in NJ, should not miss this class...Insha'Allah.

(remove the dot between http...somehow I cant post the link as http)

This looks to be a wonderful and very appropriate class for our times. I would have joined you guys, but we have "Conquest" going on at the same time here in Bay Area.

Ma'Assalaama

Assalaamu Alaykum,

Eid and Jumu'ah Mubarak!!! May we keep the spirit of Ramadan with us always and continue to increase in our Ibadaah in order to welcome next Ramadan with open arms as well as hearts. Ameen!!!

Wasalaam Walaykum

Assalamu alaikum

InshaAllah, i'll be attending the Al Maghrib class once my housing/transportation gets worked out.

masalama

Salamualaikum Wa Rahmatullah,

Eid Mubarak. MashAllah this is a good poem indeed. May Allah Talah Guide us all.

Just wanted to say , that Allah Talah is the Most Just. Lots of people out in the world are living in poverty like in Bangladesh, Pakistan, most African countries, India(lot of Muslims livin in poverty there), and the Middle East. Most of us who go can afford to go to Rutgers, don't know how easy life is for us compared to many living in poverty. Allah Talah will certainly ask us what we did with our wealth, and time.

May Allah Talah make the path easy for us.

JazakAllah khair

Salamaualaikum

hey Irf,
why do you got to steal the Duck's idea.

Banned from ISRU can't be a great name. How's Banned from ISRU, banned, I mean you are part of the Shura.... for crying out loud you represent ISRU man!!

OK enough of criticism, I give you mad props for arranging this nite man. InshAlah you guys will have a great show. Muhammed Turan can actualy be funny,not the corny stuff but actual "laughter laughter" stuff. And let Al Amin do his stuff, free the bird man free za bard.... You guys need some competition for the hip hop part. So I think you guys should explore some talents out there.

And if the Duckman can help in the show, plz quack quack. (Sleep deprivation makes me talk quack.)

InshAllah Lions will roar on Friday

Salamualaikum

i'm not on the shura.

if its called 'banned from isru' why is the isru logo on the flyer?

..or is it not really banned, but people are just calling it that?

Salamualaikum,
I m as confused as you confused. it is not really banned from isru, but people are calling that.

However, the way I see it, since Hidayaonline.com was banned from ISRU because of te fire Gillette spit, and the fact that Gillette and his cronies (most of the brothers who come to ISRU now are mad chill with gillette) are performing, it might be 1 of the reasons to call it banned.

You're thinking on the wrong track...

Think about who IS banned...

(hint: by holding this event, we're taking over ISRU)

who is "we"???

so many questions...

ummm shaitan?

I should prolly add an 'inshaAllah' to that.

"ummm shaitan?"

Oh man, that was hilarious. To think that we would have such a mashaAllah noble answer for you all :)

So, Banned from ISRU is sisters that are banned, right?

By the way, belated 3id mubarik everyone.
