Chill Yo Islam Yo

Salam,

First of All, Eid Mubarak to all of you out there. May Allah swt accept our fast and du’as. Ameen!

Since Ramadan is over, it’s time to well still keep up your taqwa as if your in it. Remember, God Consciousness and the realization that Allah swt is always watching you, forget big brother. Some of you might be wondering what can you do to cash in for the hereafter Inshallah, since the stock market is not where you would want to invest right now. Maybe you can throw in some money to Amana Mutual Funds. Anyways, let’s quickly go through some tips.

A fresh out the box Muslim brother who just converted to Islam told me that in his first month fasting, he realized he didn’t need to eat much to get through the day. It was just his inner drives telling him around the year that he had to eat, eat, eat. The reality is it’s not that serious, we just make ourselves dependent on worldly pleasures and intake so when we don’t have them, we go crazy. Calm down, you can live with alot less than you have. The biggest proof of that is regulation and the decrease of dependency, which we realize in Ramadan.

The benefits of Fasting After Ramadan

1) It’s the Month of Shawwal,  you know the Month that comes after Ramadan.

Abu Ayyub al-Ansari narrated that Allah Messenger (s) said: “He who fasts Ramadan, and six of Shawwal, it will be (in terms of rewards) as if the fasted a whole year.”
[Muslim, at-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Ahmad, Ibn Majah]

Sweet like baghlava right?

2) Each virtue is multiplied by 10x the Reward

3) If you trying to get Married and can’t find no one, then you can follow this sunnah as stated by our beloved Prophet Muhammad (s)

Hadith - Sahih Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 4, Narrated by Abdullah (R)

We were with the Prophet while we were young and had no wealth, So Allah (swt) Apostle said ” O young people!, Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because it helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty and whoever is not able to marry should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power”. 

Werd, so that sums up what I wanted to mention. Inshallah it serves to benefit you, I’m out, make dua for me, it’s free. Good looks, Wasalaam.

Salam,

Quran Recitation then hit the dance floor, Astugfurillah. It appears as if a year hasn’t changed much. Entertainment groups who throw party’s are doing it for the Muslims again, to celebrate the end of Ramadan and begin the new month, Haramadan. I actually wrote about this last year, but I wanna polish it up a bit again.

Now look, every time we make a judgment on any issue, we should be clear of what is backwards and what we think about it. In the end, we don’t say we are better than other Muslims, those of us who are concern about the security of our actions and others wish to address certain rituals which are not a part of Eid. We want God Almighty to guide us all and we make dua all of us get to heaven with ease. Ameen.

Now to bring out the reality, the next level bida seems like it is getting upgraded every year. It’s not hard to see that some people are waiting for shatan to get out, he just got unchained, at least let him breathe. Reality check, what did Ramadan do for you?

Anyways, the blessed Ramadan has passed us by but obviously it hasn’t struck the hearts of those that are caught up in the dunya. Sadly, it seems some Muslims within our ummah are transgressing.

I’m actually getting to the Chand Raat Party’s that take place by some entertainment groups every year, from what I know Hindu’s and Muslims that team up to celebrate the welcoming of a new month, and a disappointing goodbye of a month that is greater than any month you would possibly want to live in. Who knows it might have been your last.

See throughout the year, we act up no doubt. Everyone has there up’s and down’s on the emaan rush elevator but because of our weaknesses some of us let the negative spheres of influences overpower us, more dangerously at the wrong time.

In a month, where Allah swt has hooked us up with a chance to rectify ourselves and completely transform our souls. The hype and pleasures hit us again and I don’t know why but Muslims attend these party’s and find it acceptable in our tradition or with accordance to Quran and Sunnah. But we need to wake up, seriously.

Now of course, everything I’m saying is a view of my own. You might not agree, but we all make our own decisions towards our own afterlife at the end. So do you, and I’ll make dua for you! As we say in Brooklyn.

All I’m saying is if you wanna do something in the name of Islam, that is not from Islam, then don’t do it!

Okay not everything is bad at the Chaand Raat party’s, like mehndi and the halal food and the family getting together. However, all these energys can be directed in a more cleaner halal environment. Just eliminate the cultural mix.Instead of Music, you can have Nasheeds or Recitation of the Quran. You can even have a creative and educating speech on the importance of Eid. Keep it Real!

We all know how to celebrate eid and if you do not, I don’t blame you, Inshallah go make moves seek some knowledge. Read about the Sunnah, maybe you have been bought up to celebrate like this so you don’t know.

So Here is a video glimpse of the Chaand Raat Festival for Eid al Fitr, tell me what you think.

May Allah swt guide us all, keep us modest, keep our hearts clean, protect us and give us success in this life and in the hereafter. Ameen!
