Hadith of the Day

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) emphasised the value of patience, especially during Ramadan:

"Fasting is a shield, and when one of you is fasting, he should not act in an obscene or ignorant manner. If someone fights or abuses him, let him say: ‘I am fasting.’" – (Sahih al-Bukhari 1894)

This hadith reminds us that fasting is not just about abstaining from food and drink; it is also about maintaining patience, controlling our emotions, and staying committed to our worship. It teaches us to remain calm and composed, especially when facing challenges or difficulties.

Day 27 Tahajjud (Qiyamul Layl)

Tahajjud is a powerful prayer that brings immense spiritual benefits, especially in the last ten days of Ramadan. It is a time when Allah’s mercy and blessings descend, and our supplications are answered.

Allah reminds us of the importance of seeking His mercy during the night in Surah Al-Isra (17:79):

"And rise from sleep for prayer in the night, as an additional prayer for you; it may be that your Lord will raise you to a praiseworthy position."

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:

"The closest that a servant comes to his Lord is during the last third of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah at that time, then do so." – (Sunan At-Tirmidhi 3579)

As we approach the final days of Ramadan, let us commit to performing Tahajjud on Day 27 and seek Allah’s forgiveness, mercy, and blessings.

May Allah grant us the strength to wake up for Tahajjud and accept our prayers. Ameen.
