Do you want to make a decision and need Allahs guidance?This episode is for you!☺️Salatul istikharah is a two unit voluntary prayer Muslims make after which they recite dua to humbly seek Allahs guidance in a decision they want to make.Your host ,Nafisa (me☺️ ) reads to you an article from Yaqeen institute on istikharah.

You have power, and I do not. You know, and I know not, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter [mention the thing to be decided] is good for me in my religion, my livelihood, my worldly affairs, and in the hereafter then decree it for me, make it easy for me, and bless it for me. And if You know that this matter is bad for me in my religion, my livelihood, my worldly affairs, and in the hereafter then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me the good wherever it may be and make me content with it [Sahih al-Bukhari #6382].

In the first episode of the season, we reflect on the weighty status knowledge holds in our dīn. From the very first command revealed “Read!” to the praise of those who fear Allah due to what they know, Islam consistently upholds knowledge as a path to Paradise and a sign of Allah’s favor.We explore Qur’ānic verses and hadīth that emphasize the responsibility of seeking, acting upon, and sharing beneficial knowledge especially knowledge of the religion. The scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets, and those who sincerely carry and teach this light are promised ongoing reward, even after their death.May Allah increase us in knowledge that benefits and grant us sincerity in both seeking and applying it.Tune in and let your heart be reminded of why learning in Islam isn’t optional ,it’s essential.May Allah increase us in beneficial knowledge and make us people who live what we know. Ameen.

The abode of the believing people and we, if God so wills, are about to join you. I love to see my brothers." They (the hearers) said: Aren't we your brothers, O Messenger of Allah? He said: You are my companions, and our brothers are those who have, so far, not come into the world. They said: Messenger of Allah, how would you recognise those persons of your Ummah who have not yet been born? He said: Supposing a man had horses with white blazes on foreheads and legs among horses which were all black, tell me, would he not recognise his own horses? They said: Certainly, O Messenger of Allah. He said: They would come with white faces and arms and legs owing to ablution, and I would arrive at the Cistern before them. Some people would be driven away from my Cistern as the stray camel is driven away. I would call out: Come, come. Then it would be said (to me): These people changed themselves after you, and I would say: Be off, be off.Sahih Muslim 249. ‏اللهم صلي على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد اللهم بارك على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما باركت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيدO Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as You blessed Abraham and the family of Abraham.

May Allah make it a comforting hug and a motivation to liveee and make these ten days extremely special!The Girl Tribe Instagram It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:“There are no days during which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days,” meaning the (first) ten days of Dhul- Hijjah.

In this episode Nafisa reflects on a phrase her teacher said“We need to learn to love death, It’s the beginning of the actual life”For the believer one has to remember that death is the start of actual life!The whole episode is filled with many reflections of how we view death, why we might view it the way we view it and maybe a better way to look at it!* Notes to self:For the believer one has to remember that death is the start of actual life!So you have to get it right here , take with you the deeds that Allah will have mercy on you and grant you the best of the ACTUAL lifeSacrifice for Him swt and prepare for a life where the currency before you are given an eternal home is in the actions you took in this test of a life.You will get what you strive for. So oh servant of her merciful lord, look at your life , look at your calendar, look at your habits , look at the day to day activities you take on in this test of a life, are you striving for a good eternal home or the opposite?Are you filling your books with good actions or the opposite?Will you be happy to start your actual life today? Your eternal life?For a believer ( may Allah make us of them), an eternity of happiness, eternal peace, eternal love, eternal happiness, oh Allahumma inna nas alukal jannah wa ma qarraba ilaiha min kawlin wa amal Allah we ask you jannah and what brings us nearer to it of speech and actionsWa na uthu bika minan naar wa qarraba ilaiha min qaulin wa amalAnd we seek refuge in you from hell and what brings us nearer to it of speech and actionREFERENCES-Verse from surah an najm that gives her a reality checkوَأَن لَّيْسَ لِلْإِنسَـٰنِ إِلَّا مَا سَعَىٰ ٣٩And that there is not for man except that [good] for which he strives 39Death doula video I referred to around 11:00Take advantage of 5 before 5 reference:Your youth before your old ageYour health before your sicknessYour wealth before your povertyYour free time before your busynessYour life before your deathhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDwc7NBGA6MInstagram

Do you know what month we’re in? 🤭Do you know the Islamic months? Welll we’re actually in a sacred month! Dhul Q’idah!In this episode Nafisa shares what she’s learnt about sacred months, how we can use this month as a time to actualize the better versions of ourselves we wanted to see right after Ramadan. Having had a dip in shawwal , where our bodies even physically could not do what we did in Ramadan, we rested and recharged and what better motivation than a sacred month where good deeds are amplified to make the most of and become the better versions of ourselves!!!🤗🥹Alhamdullilah! Listen to the episode for all the reflections May Allah allow for you and I to make the most out of these sacred months!(*****IMPORTANT POINT TO NOTE , Allah can choose to forgive one but in their record the sin is still there but it’s also written that Allah has forgiven it, then there’s a next level that Allah decides that the sin be wiped out from the record completely and then there’s next level could be that if Allah wills he makes that the sin is infact turned into a good deed)————————————————————————————“So there are four sacred months, Dhul-Qadah, which means the month to sit. You sit back, you do not fight, you do not engage in any type of warfare.Dhul-Hijjah is the month in which Hajj is, so there used to be a reiteration of Hajj in the Islamic Days.There is Muharram, which means forbidden. It is the beginning of the year, so it's forbidden.And then there's the month of Rajab, which is the only month that is not in succession, that does not come in succession. And Rajab means to remove and refrain. So you would remove your weapons, and refrain from fighting somewhere in the middle of the year.”-Yaqeen YouTube and newsletter on dhul hijja and the sacred monthsImam Tom’s Atomic Habits seriesQuran 9:36 - verse about the twelve months written in Allahs Record from the day he created the heavens and the earth, of them four are sacred.

The same way you go through things that no one knows about not even the people that are constantly with you or around youAnd someone’s hard on you & you think to yourself“you have no idea what I’m going through”“Be a little kinder”“Does it hurt to say things in a nicer calmer way”The SAME WAY you go through those things, everyone goes through it too sometimessoo…The next time someone says something harsh or their mood is off, say astaghfirullah remind yourself that they are human too and let it go.-> soo many verses in the Quran speak about making room for one another, tending to people’s emotions & being of those who pardon others.- my journal entryListen to the whole episode to listen to when the Prophet peace be upon him also had pain that was unspoken.

- Remind yourself WHY you’re fasting, and WHY you’re praying the nights, and WHY you’re searching for lailatul qadr - وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ, But ˹continue to˺ remind. For certainly reminders benefit the believers.”Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever fasted the month of Ramadan out of sincere Faith (i.e. belief) and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his past sins will be forgiven, and whoever stood for the prayers in the night of Qadr out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven ."Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 2014In-book reference : Book 32, Hadith 1You have to go out of your way to not be forgiven by Allah, if there’s a deficiency in your fasting, your qiyaam will make up for it by Allahs mercy , if there’s a deficiency in your qiyaam , qiyaam on lailatul wadr will make up for it by the mercy of Allah A complete guide to the last 10 nights and lailatul qadr with Imam Omar-https://youtu.be/eUF_ByyQ7_M?si=WGZRXhgcS2pCHr6O- If you’ve stayed up all night before, you CAN STAY UP ALL NIGHT TONIGHT ( the last ten nights!) , YOU CAN SLEEP ON THE DAY OF EIDIt’s ten nights ! And it’s gone! a night BETTER than a THOUSAND months not EQUAL TO! BETTER!- The best version of you is the person you’ve been this ramadan, is the person you are the type of person that goes to paradise?? Are you the type of person you want to die being? - Reflect on- is the ramadan I’ve lived good enough for Allah to say, yes , I will grant you jannah, I will forgive this servant of mine - We have to prayyyyyy about the things we’ve given up in ramadan, let it not be a pause! Are you worshipping Ramadan or Allah!?- be in constant communication with Allah, talk to Allah, tell him , ya Allah you see what I am going through,Ya Allah help me, ya Allah I’m trying Dua is WORSHIP!And correct worship is rewarded ! By the mercy and will of Allah!- A dua from the Quran I recently started loving:رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِىٓ أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَٰلِدَىَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَـٰلِحًۭا تَرْضَىٰهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِى فِى ذُرِّيَّتِىٓ ۖ إِنِّى تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّى مِنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَMy Lord! Inspire me to ˹always˺ be thankful for Your favours which You blessed me and my parents with, and to do good deeds that please You. And instil righteousness in my offspring. I truly repent to You, and I truly submit ˹to Your Will˺.”Part of Quran 46:15رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِىٓ أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَٰلِدَىَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَـٰلِحًۭا تَرْضَىٰهُ وَأَدْخِلْنِى بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِى عِبَادِكَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ“My Lord! Inspire me to ˹always˺ be thankful for Your favours which You have blessed me and my parents with, and to do good deeds that please you. Admit me, by Your mercy, into ˹the company of˺ Your righteous servants.”

A little sisterly catchup💗I know it can get super overwhelming when you want to do so much especially in Ramadan and your responsibilities require you to do other thingsWhether it’s going to school or tending to your kids or your parents, with everything you do you can intend for it to be an act of worship ! Allah is so merciful that EVERYTHING YOU DO CAN BE AN ACT OF WORSHIP!This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t STRIVEE and have a plan to challenge ourselves as it’s obviously RAMADAN but this should keep us calm, motivated and hopeful.————Hadiths to motivate us:Abdullah bin 'Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said that Allah, the Glorious, said: "Verily, Allah (SWT) has ordered that the good and the bad deeds be written down. Then He explained it clearly how (to write): He who intends to do a good deed but he does not do it, then Allah records it for him as a full good deed, but if he carries out his intention, then Allah the Exalted, writes it down for him as from ten to seven hundred folds, and even more. But if he intends to do an evil act and has not done it, then Allah writes it down with Him as a full good deed, but if he intends it and has done it, Allah writes it down as one bad deed".[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].——-It was narrated that 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said that the Messenger of Allah said:"Actions are but by intentions, and each man will have but that which he intended. Whoever emigrated for the sake of Allah and His Messenger, his emigration was for the sake of Allah and His Messenger, and whoever emigrated for the sake of some worldly gain or to marry some woman, his emigration was for that for which he emigrated."Reference : Sunan an-Nasa'i 3437

Even if some of us are hungry , our reward is with Allah🫂we’re in this together!Today we reflected on this beautiful verse,يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمْ تَفَسَّحُوا۟ فِى ٱلْمَجَـٰلِسِ فَٱفْسَحُوا۟ يَفْسَحِ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ ۖ وَإِذَا قِيلَ ٱنشُزُوا۟ فَٱنشُزُوا۟ يَرْفَعِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنكُمْ وَٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمَ دَرَجَـٰتٍۢ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌۭ ١١O believers! When you are told to make room in gatherings, then do so. Allah will make room for you ˹in His grace˺. And if you are told to rise, then do so. Allah will elevate those of you who are faithful, and ˹raise˺ those gifted with knowledge in rank. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.Quran 58:11“The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) turned to face the people and said, ‘Straighten your rows,’ three times, ‘for by Allah either you straighten your rows or Allah will create division among your hearts.’ And I saw men standing shoulder to shoulder, knee to knee, ankle to ankle.” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 662; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 61All About straightening rowsNarrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever established prayers on the night of Qadr out of sincere faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven; and whoever fasts in the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith, and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven."Sahih al-Bukhari 1901Abu Hurairah narrated that:The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: "Whoever stands (in the voluntary night prayer of) Ramadan out of faith and in the hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven. And whoever spends the night of Lailat Al-Qadr in prayer out of faith and in the hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven."Sunan an-Nasa'i 5027

A Prophetic Ramadan - link to video📌Why should we follow the Sunnah / The Prophetic teaching of our Prophet: becauseee Allah swt says:لَّقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِى رَسُولِ ٱللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌۭ لِّمَن كَانَ يَرْجُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَ وَذَكَرَ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًۭا ٢١Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example for whoever has hope in Allah and the Last Day, and remembers Allah often.Quran 33:21قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱللَّهَ فَٱتَّبِعُونِى يُحْبِبْكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ ٣١Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “If you ˹sincerely˺ love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive your sins. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”Quran 3:31مَّن يُطِعِ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ ٱللَّهَ ۖ…Whoever obeys the Messenger has truly obeyed Allah…Quran 4:80- soo please follow as many sunnahs as you can and may Allah accept from us and allow for the Quran to have a visible transformative impact on us and may Allah allow for us to prioritise staying in seclusion with Him swt this Ramadan like our Prophet pbuh🫂🥹Other references …Surely good deeds wipe out evil deeds…Quran 11:114Narrated Ibn `Abbas:The Prophet (ﷺ) was the most generous of all the people, and he used to become more generous in Ramadan when Gabriel met him. Gabriel used to meet him every night during Ramadan to revise the Qur'an with him. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then used to be more generous than the fast wind.Sahih al-Bukhari 3554
