Ramadan Reflections: Day 27

Bismillah...In The Name of Allah Subahanahu wa ta'ala

Yesterday I was watching the Little Explorers show on Ramadan TV Sky 192. A young boy, Rayaan, aged 6 came to the show with his older sisters. He is very sick , suffering from a blood disorder . He is in desperate need of a bone-marrow donor. It was quite heart-breaking watching him. Subhanallah he still had a beautiful smile on his face. Even his beautiful sisters looked so happy and content. I just hope and pray that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala bless him with shifa', ameen! 

The family has been working really hard to raise awareness and find a donor for him. They have been active through Facebook and other social media. 

"My name is Rayaan. I am 6 years old. I live with my mum, dad and two sisters. I enjoy playing with lego and cars. At the weekends I love to go swimming and karate. This summer I was looking forward to karate camp, but that won't be possible due to my developing a rare disease called HLH. This has made me very sick, and I am now unable to run around. Instead I have regular chemotherapy at Great Ormond Street Hospital. To get better I need a bone marrow match. Can you help me to get better? You can find out whether you can be a match through this link here."

There is huge shortage of Asian donors. I remember there was a sister called , Najma Ghani, who died last year. She was suffering from cancer. She was campaigning to raise awareness of this issue. We , the people who are of Asian origins, really need to come forward and register to be the potential donors inshAllah. 
Please do not let any excuse stop you from registering. The procedure is very simple. Visit the link here:  Delete Blood Cancer 

In our faith, helping others is highly encouraged. One of my favourite hadith in this regard is: "The most beloved of people to Allah are those that are the most beneficial to the people. The most beloved of deeds is that which brings happiness to a fellow Muslim, or to relieve him of a hardship, or to settle one of his debts, or to repel hunger from him. To go and fulfill one of the needs of my fellow Muslim is more beloved to me than to seclude (itikaaf) myself in al-masjid al-nabawi for an entire month." - The Prophet Mohammad SAllallahu Alaihe Wa Sallam.

Bismillah With the Name of Allah , the Most Merciful I have typed some of my tajweed notes on makharij for the purpose of  revision inshAllah.  Alhamdulillah our beautiful teacher has started doing videos on tajweed. I have shared some of the videos here with relevant notes. Hope this helps us all inshaAllah. Image source   Makharij means articulation point i.e the place where the letters exit from. Letters are called huruf in arabic. Harf is the singular form of the word huruf. There are five different exit points (makharij).  1.       Al-Jawf ( The empty space in the throat and mouth/ the oral cavity) 2.       Ash-Shafatayn  ( The lips) 3.       Al-Halq (The throat) 4.       Al-Khayshum (The nasal passage) 5.       Al-Lisaan ( The tongue)   Al-Jawf ( The oral cavity)  From the   jawf ( empty space in the mouth and throat)  three letters emerge. These madd ( lengthening the sound) letters are: Alif  ( ا ) preceded by a  fat h a ,

Five years Alhamdulillah :-)

Alhamdulillah five years ago, on this day I got married to my husband. It took me quite a long time to find him :-) I used to tell my friend at university and at work, that I may never get married and live for the rest of my life with 99 cats! I don't know where I got this idea from but I was indeed quite worried about my future. I have always been a big fan of children. For me the biggest fear was the prospect of being childless forever! I have seen quite a lot of brothers through family and friends. The more I was going through these meetings, I was getting frustrated thinking this is not really working for me and love is just a myth! Alhamdulillah going to hajj in 2006 has made me help put things into perspective. I started to think more seriously about the purpose of my life. I even wrote in my diary that marriage is not an ultimate goal for me anymore. Before that time, I used to think only through marriage I can become a better Muslimah as if no other option is left for me to

A precious bond

I am surrounded by special sisters. They are always there for me. During my hardship, they help me with their kind words and beautiful dua. I know I can rely on them. I know that they keep me in their precious dua. They are my soul sisters. And the special love they have for me is priceless. I can't buy this love. A love so pure and precious subhanallah! The source of this love is my Rabb. It is Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala who enables us to love each other so sincerely for His sake ! I can't thank my Rabb enough for surrounding me with such kind and gentle souls alhamdulillah. Without my beautiful soul sisters, my life would be so difficult to live. My soul sisters teach me to always be loving and caring to others. They encourage me to be positive and resilient, no matter how difficult the life may seem . They have taught me not to underestimate the power of any good deeds, it can be a kind word, a sincere dua, sending a bouquet of beautiful flowers or homemade cakes and the
