Allah Almighty declares in the Quran:
Verily, [O you who believe in Me,] this community of yours is one
single community, since I am the Sustainer of you all: worship, then
Me [alone]' (21:92).
He further explains:
'All believers are but brethren' (49:10)
As for the Prophet sallallahu `alaihi wa sallam, he clarified the
nature of the relationship between Muslims in this famous hadith:
'The example of the Muslims in their love and mercy for each other is
likethe body. If one part is afflicted, all the other partsrally to
its aid with fever and sleeplessness.'
Today Muslims pass this month of Ramadan in transgression and crises.
Capitalism is rife with greed. It directs its hostility against the
Islamic world with intellectual onslaughts. The foremost means toward
this is through women, wine and other enticements, distractions,
luxuries and unlawful amusements.
Secularism calls for the separation between the religion and worldly
affairs. It seeks to oust Islam from life's stage on the pretext that
religion distinguishes between people. In effect, secularism is an
atheist ideology that disregards all religions and, therefore,excludes
Islam in its entirety from playing any role in human life.
Freemasonry, the Jewish creation, has come to destroy religions
including Islam. On the surface it appears to be calling for the unity
of all people. It has its own means, taboos,emblems and cliques. It
operates in secret, has world-wide influence and springs from Zionist
origins. Hence today the Islamic nation suffers from intensewounds:
Palestine has been stolen from it, Al Aqsa mosque remains a hostage
while old men, women and children are slaughtered morning and evening.
Yet, Palestine will never be returned to the Muslim lands except by an
Islam with the rage of Umar ibn al Khattab, the boldness of Salah al
Din and the sincerity of Ibn Taymiya.
The Muslim woman is fought against because of her covering, modesty,
purity and religion.
Our young men are seduced by destructive means, satanic enticements
and sensual delights.
Evangelism is penetrating the Islamic world from all four directions.
Divisions and schisms are widespread among Muslims except those whom
Allah has shielded.
In the circumstances, whatis required is that the Muslim should live
for these great issues with his sentiments, wealth and prayers. He
should strive to increase awareness among his Muslim brothers of these
dangers. The Muslim should work relentlessly to bring about unity
within the ranks of his own community. More importantly, the Islamic
nation must avoid disputes and internal wrangling that only cause
failure; particularly when the news of these calamities that afflict
the Islamic world are exposed and become the issues of the day. As a
result, no Muslim should despise himself because in every Muslim there
is good. Indeed, every Muslim is expected to struggle if he or she is
able and to stop making excuses. They must strive with their persons
and their wealth. If not, with their wealth and the support of others
who spend of their wealth to advance the cause of Islam. They should,
at the end of each prayer, in the early hours of the morning, and
other times when prayers are answered, implore Allah toestablish and
grant victoryto the Muslims. We must, moreover, all call upon Allah to
increase us in piety and God-consciousness because the disasters and
calamities that have befallen us are all on account of our sins and
shortcomings. 'And do you,now that a calamity has befallen you after
you had inflicted twice as much [onyour foes], ask yourselves
"How has this come about?" Say: "It has comefrom your own selves"' (3:165)

-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

Concerns of the Islamic Scholar During the Month of Ramadan
4a] A Christian is asking, what do you do during the month of Ramadaan?
4a]
Perhaps if you visit an Islamic Centre, you will see for yourself the
happiness and joy that the Muslims, young and old, feel during
Ramadaan. This is due to the effects of worship andobedience, as
stated above.
We ask Allaah to guide you to that which is good for you and will
bring youhappiness in this world and in the Hereafter.
And Allaah knows best.

And Allaah knows best.
4] A Christian is asking, what do you do during the month of Ramadaan?
4]
What do you do during the month of fasting?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Allaah has singled out the month of Ramadaan with special virtues that
are not present in any other month. It is the best of months. Allaah
has the right to single out some months and nights and prefer them
over others, as He says (interpretation of the meaning): "And your
Lord creates whatsoever He wills and chooses"
[al-Qasas 28:68]
Allaah has placed in the month of Ramadaan Laylat al-Qadr (the Night
of Decree), of which He says (interpretation of themeaning):
"The Night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better than a thousand months"
[al-Qadr 97:3]
i.e., worship on that night brings a greater reward than worshipping
for a thousand months; this is by the great bounty of Allaah towards
this ummah (nation - i.e., the Muslims).
Laylat al-Qadr occurs during the last ten nights of Ramadaan. Hence
the Muslims strive hard in worship during these ten days more than at
other times, seeking this blessed night.
With regard to what we Muslims do in Ramadaan, we seek to draw closer
to Allaah and strive hard in worship. Various kinds of worship have
been prescribed for us, by which we seek to draw closer to Allaah.
These include the following:
1 -Fasting.
This means refraining from food, drink, intercourse and sexual
activity from dawn until sunset. We are not the only nation on whom
Godhas enjoined fasting, rather there is no nation among the previous
nations upon whom God did not enjoin fasting. Allaah says
(interpretationof the meaning):
"O you who believe! Observing As-Sawm (the fasting) is prescribed for
you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become
Al-Muttaqoon (the pious)"
[al-Baqarah 2:183]
2 - Prayers at night (Taraweeh)
Praying at night (qiyaam al-layl) has a great effect in purifying and
reforming hearts, and is also a means of forgiveness of sin.
3 - Reading Qur'aan
Ramadaan is the month of the Qur'aan, in which the revelation of the
Qur'aan to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
first began. Hence you will findthe Muslims reading the entire Qur'aan
during Ramadaan, and some of them read the entire Bookonce or twice,
or more than that. The Muslim knows that reading a single letter of
the Qur'aan brings a tenfold reward, and that reading a single page
brings a thousand rewards (hasanaat).
4 - Charity and feeding the poor
Our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was the most
generous of people, and he was at his most generous in Ramadaan.
Our Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) encouraged us
to feed the poor and to give fasting people food to break their fast.
He toldus that the reward of the one who gives food to a fasting
person to break his fast is equivalent to the reward of the fasting
person, without that detracting from the reward of the fasting person
in the slightest.
5 - Supplication
Ramadaan is the month of supplication (du'aa'). It is mustahabb for
the fasting person to make du'aa', and the du'aa' (supplication) of
one who has fasted at the time of breaking the fast will not be
rejected.
6 - I'tikaaf ("retreat" for worship)
This means staying in the mosque in order to devote oneself to
worshipof Allaah. It is Sunnah in the last ten days of Ramadaan,
seeking Laylatal-Qadr.
7 - Allaah has enjoined a special charity to be givenat the end of
Ramadaan. This is called Zakaat al-Fitr, by means of which the fasting
person offers expiation for any idle or obscene speech he may have
uttered during his fast; it is also a means of feeding and helping the
poor.
It is obligatory upon every Muslim, young and old, male and female. It
is one of the ways of making people feel the unity, cohesion and
mutual compassion of theMuslim community.
8 - Allaah has also enjoined that those who have fasted should offer
the Eid prayer, as a conclusion to these good deeds that they have
done during Ramadaan, and as a way of bringing them together to
express their joy and gratitude towards Allaah.
The point is that the Muslim spends the month of Ramadaan in fasting,
praying, offering night prayers (Taraweeh), remembering Allaah and
reading Qur'aan, and has ended it with i'tikaaf and charity, as well
as striving to uphold the ties of kinship and do good deeds, and
spending a great deal for the sake of Allaah, and other righteous good
deeds. Ramadaan is an occasion that is good for him, in which he does
acts of worship and rids himself of the burdens of sin. On every night
of Ramadaan Allaah frees people from Hell, overlooks their bad deeds
and forgives their sins. Hence the month of Ramadaan is the most
beloved of months to the Muslims, and they feel happy, joyful and
content at this time, and they wish that the whole year was
Ramadaan.:->

Communal du’aa’ after Taraaweeh prayer
My question is about the saheeh Sunnah with regard to Taraaweeh prayer
and what innovations have been introduced into it, and thecommunal
du'aa' after Taraaweeh prayer. May Allaah reward you with allgood on
my behalf and on behalf of the Muslims.
Praise be to Allaah.
With regard to the first part of your question, please see the section
on Taraaweeh prayer and Laylat al-Qadr under the heading of Fasting on
this website.
With regard to communaldu'aa' after Taraaweeh prayer, this action is
an innovation (bid'ah). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said, "Whoeverdoes an action that is not part of this matter
of ours(Islam), will have it rejected." Narrated by Muslim, 3243.
What was narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) was that after Taraaweeh prayer he would say, "Subhaan
al-Malik al-Quddoos (Glorybe to the Sovereign, the Most Holy)", three
times, raising his voice on the third time.
Ahmad (14929), Abu Dawood (1430) and al-Nasaa'i (1699) narratedthat
Ubayy ibn Ka'b (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to recite in
Witr "Sabbih isma Rabbika al-A'la (Glorify thename of your Lord, the
Most High)…" [i.e., Soorat al-A'laa 87] and Qul yaa ayyuha'l-kaafiroon
(Say (OMuhammad), 'O al-Kaafiroon (disbelievers))…'" [i.e., Soorat
al-Kaafiroon 109] and "Qul Huwa Allaahu ahad (Say (O Muhammad),'He is
Allaah, (the) One)…" [i.e., Soorat al-Ikhlaas 112]. And after he said
thetasleem he would say "Subhaan al-Malik al-Quddoos, Subhaan al-Malik
al-Quddoos, Subhaan al-Malik al-Quddoos (Glory be to the Sovereign,
the Most Holy; Glory be to the Sovereign, the Most Holy; Glory be to
the Sovereign, the Most Holy)", raising his voice. Classed as saheeh
by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Nasaa'i, 1653.
Then in Witr prayer the imam will recite du'aa al-qunoot and the
worshippers will say Ameen behind him, as Ubayy ibn Ka'b (may Allaah
be pleased with him) used to do when he led the people in praying
Taraaweeh at the time of 'Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him). So
there is no need to introduce this bid'ah. Howtrue are the words of
the one who said, "All goodness is in following those who came before,
and all evil is in the innovation of those who came later."
And Allaah knows best.
and what innovations have been introduced into it, and thecommunal
du'aa' after Taraaweeh prayer. May Allaah reward you with allgood on
