Lailatul-ul-Mubarak
Bismillahi Rahman Roheem.
All Praise is for Allah. We adore Him and seek His help and forgiveness. We have Faith and Trust in Him. We seek Allah’s refuge against evil tendencies of our Selves and our bad deeds.
He whom Allah guides no one can lead him astray. And he whom Allah lets go astray there is none to guide him. We bear witness that there is no deity except Allah, the One and without any Partner; and we also bear witness that Muhammad (SAW) is His servant and Messenger. Allah had sent him with Truth, to give good tidings and to warn before the Doomsday. Whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger will be successful and well guided.
And whosoever disobeys either of them has gone astray. Such a person harms none save himself; he does no harm to Allah. The best Word is the Book of Allah. And the best Guidance is that given by Muhammad (SAW). Good things are the firm (original) ones, and Bad things are those introduced later on. And everything introduced later (in religion) is innovation. And every innovation is Hell fire.
Now then, I seek Allah’s refuge against Satan the outcast. I start in the name of Allah, most Gracious, and most Merciful.
The Search for the Night of Destiny is on, nothing change destiny except Du'a. It is enough in Imaan to believe in what was written for us as Qadar but not Enough in Knowledge. Using the right word is important because Allah is ready to TURN YOU AROUND.
He says in the Noble Quran: "Allah eliminates what He wills or confirms what He wills, and with Him is the Mother of the Book (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz).(Q13:39).
Allah also expect from us to lubricate our Du’a with Sadaqah and Zakah, and He say in the Quran:
“They arise from [their] beds; they supplicate their Lord in fear and aspiration and from what we have provided them, they spend. And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes as reward for what they used to do. Then is one who was a believer like one who was defiantly disobedient? They are not equal. (Q32:16-18)
Let us show our gratitude to Allah and also lubricates our Du’a and pay our Zakah –ul-Fitri and Zakah, perhaps we may be successful.
Zakah-ul-Fitri is the Poor-due at the end of Ramadan (Zakah al-fitr) is the prescribed poor-due which every Muslim is required to make at the conclusion of the month of Ramadan.
The poor-due purifies the soul of the fasting person. Ibn Abbas narrated, "The Messenger (SAW) enjoined charity of the poor-due so that those who observe fasting are purified of their indecent and shameful errors, and the poor and the needy ones are enabled to arrange for their necessities of food and clothing." [Abu Dawud]
Poor-due also serves as a token of thankfulness to God for enabled him or her to observe the fast.
Ibn Umar reported that the Prophet (SAW) made poor-due compulsory on every slave, freeman, male, female, young and old among the Muslims. [Bukhari] Every person who possesses the day's provision for self and family has to pay the poor-due at the end of Ramadan.
And as for the other Zakah for the riches to uplift the poor that is one of the pillars of Islam.
"And establish regular prayer and give regular (Zakah) charity and obey the Messenger of Allah, so that you may receive mercy." (Surah An-Nur, 24:56)
"Of their wealth, take alms so you may purify and sanctify them." (Surah At-Taubah, 9:103)
"Zakah" literally means purification and growth. Thus the paying of Zakah:
• Purifies and multiplies our possessions and wealth
• Cleanses our heart from selfishness and greed
• Develops gratefulness for Allah’s bounty
• Brings about a sense of peace and well-being
• Helps establish economic balance and social justice in society
Here we shall highlight the modes of Payment and spend of Zakah.

•Providing religious classes at various levels and languages
FAKIR&MISKIN
A ‘fakir’ is one who has neither material possessions nor means of livelihood. A ‘miskin’ is one with insufficient means of livelihood to meet basic needs. Funds are disbursed to deserving poor and needy for daily household expenses, schooling needs and other geriatric requirements.
GHARIMIN, IBINISSABIL & RIQAB
This category refers to those who are in debt, the wayfarer and those in bondage. Funds are distributed to those who are in debt (money borrowed to meet basic, halal expenditure), who strive for the cause of Allah, and stranded in journey.
May Allah accept every bit of supplication in this month …Amin
Oh Allah! We implore your extended mercy that will forgive our sins and erase our misdeeds and errors. Oh Allah Forgive all our sins hidden and open, big and small.
Oh Allah forgives all our dead love ones, our parents living and dead. Oh Allah preserve our teachers those that dead and those that are living make them a great guide for us to Aljannah and not a distractor. Oh Allah me and the Muslim Ummah. Amin
Alahumma infa`ni bima `allamtani wa `allamni ma yanfa`uni! (OH ALLAH! Make useful for me what You taught me and teach me knowledge that will be useful to me!)
May Allah continue to Guide and Guard us aright. Amin
“Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct and giving to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded". (6:90) May Allah bless us to serve him in all aspects of our lives.
