There was a Christian who embraced Islam and read Surat-al-Baqara and Al-Imran, and he used to write (the revelations) for the Prophet (SAW). Later on he returned to Christianity again and he used to say: "Muhammad (SAW) knows nothing but what I have written for him." Then Allah caused him to die, and his people buried him, but in the morning they saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, "This is the act of Muhammad and his companions. They dug the grave of our companion and took his body out of it because he had run away from them." They again dug the grave deeply for him, but in the morning they again saw that the earth had thrown his body out. They said, "This is an act of Muhammad and his companions.

Oh Allah! You are most forgiving & You love to forgive so forgive me!

اللهم إنك عفوٌ تحب العفو فاعف عني

"Allahumma innaka `afuwwun, tuhibbul-`afwa, fa`fu `anni "

Aaishah said: “‘O Messenger of Allaah, if I know which night is Laylat al-Qadr, what should I say on that night?

He said, ‘Say: Allaahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibb al-‘afwa fa’affu ‘anni (O Allaah, You are forgiving and You love forgiveness, so forgive me).”

Mohammed "Mo" Farah has won a second Olympic gold for Team GB - first in the 10,000m race and now in the 5,000m race.

He is one of the few (seven?) that have won gold at both races at the olympics and in an event that great britain generally struggles at.

Assalaamu'alaikum my dear Revivalers!!

Im going to inshaaAllah walk 30 MILES sometime after Ramadan to raise money for Families Relief!

they're an awesome charity that tries to empower Families, not just when disaster strikes but also after, to help them become independent and sustainable. (can i describe the family as sustainable?)

anyway, please donate, even a lil quid.. and please spread the word!

Its ramadan! and its nearly over! so get these bank transfers from your dunya account to ur akhirah account! HUGE PROFIT! only a few days left! If im not mistaken the profit is actually x70. no bank on EARTH can Guarantee this kinda profit.

ok, enough with the bank analogy..

for the sake of Allah.

The last 10 days of Ramadan are the most blessed & we should increase our Worship & Devotion:

"Allah's Messenger used to exert himself in devotion during the last ten nights to a greater extent than at any other time." (Muslim).

"Aisha (Ra) reported: With the start of the last ten days of Ramadan, the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) used to tighten his waist belt (i.e. work harder) and used to pray the whole night, & used to keep his family awake for the prayers" (Bukhari)

This is a dedication for Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi.

The works of Rumi are marvelled at throughout the world, long after he had passed away. Have you ever heard of him? Do you know much about him? What legacy did he leave behind and why have millions been inspired by him?

Here, I'd like you to mention anything you know about him and his family. It would be even better if you shared examples of the beautiful words, quotes, poetry and prose that he wrote and what you like about them.

Can it really be as easy as this?

2 minutes and you get saved from hell? Don't mind if do.

Whoever says “SubhanAllah wa
bihamdihi” a hundred times
during the day, his sins are wiped
away, even if they are like the
foam of the sea. [Sahih al-
Bukhari; #7:168, Sahih Muslim; #
4:2071]

this is the igotitcovered article for today. we're about tostart the last ten nights!

Last night was different. Last night I couldn’t resist, and I tingled with excitement as I felt the strongest urge to dress up. I showered. I wore my best hijab, a light blue shiny hijab with gold and copper-toned embroidery and delicate, sparkling sequins. I wore my best abaya, too, a long, flowing gown I save for the best occasions. I sprayed perfume over myself and everywhere, a light clean scent that’s one of my favorites.

Ask yourself:

– When was the last time you reached out to someone? Do you keep an eye out for people in need?

That's Mercy / kindness etc etc if I've ever seen it...

"Once a man was passing through a road and found a branch of a tree with thorns obstructing it. The man removed the thorns from the way. Allah thanked him by forgiving all his sins."

(Bukhari)
