Day 25!

Dhikr of the Day

اللهم اجعل القرآن حجّةََ لنا وما علينا يوم القيامة

Allahuma ij'alil Qur'aan hujjatan lanaa wa maa 3alaynaa Yawmal Qiyamah

Ya Allah, make the Qur'aan testify for us and not against us on the Day of Resurrection.

Subhaana Allah, look at how beautiful this dua is—and also how scary it is! The Qur'aan will either testify for you and become your pass to Jannah or it will testify against you and be a pass to Jah Anna. Let's read the above du'a with sincere hearts.

Action of the Day

Do you Read the Qur'aan while in a state of wudhu?

Well, let's have a look at these two situations:

1 - Reading the Qur'aan without wudhu: One gets rewards just for recitation and reflection on the Words of Allah bi'idnillah; and this is a two-in-one act.

2 - Reading the Qur'aan with wudhu: One gets rewards for following a sunnah act as well as the rewards for recitation and reflection on the words, a three-in-one act.

If you are a worker paid a specific amount of salary and you were told, “If you increase your working hours by just two minutes, we will give you a raise,” may I ask, which one would you go for?

Getting an increment in salary for just two minutes extra of work!

What would you choose?

Now, let's analyse the given example:

The work without any increase in salary is reciting without wudhu. The two minutes of work is making wudhu—it takes even a second for some of us. Make sure you're doing wudhu properly! Working for salary with increment is recitation with wudhu.

It's your choice. If the water is cold, warm it up. Keep some in a bucket or bowl where it can easily be accessed; and if you have no water, make tayammum—there's soil everywhere!

Keep that laziness away. Water touching your skin always gives you energy.

Remember: The harder it is for you to to do a type of ibadah, the more rewards you'll get for your efforts in striving to do it.

Ramadhan: A turning point for our lives!

Recommendation: Train yourself to get used to refreshing your wudhu each time it gets nullified.

Baaraka Allah feekum. Jazakumillah khairan.
