Hadith of the Week

/

As Salaam Alaikum Brothers and Sisters,

In order to help us through our week, we will be posting hadiths from Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Please feel free to keep up with us through the contact page and through our email for future events!

Narated By 'Abdullah bin 'Amr : A person asked Allah's Apostle . "What (sort of) deeds in or (what qualities of) Islam are good?" He replied, "To feed (the poor) and greet those whom you know and those whom you don't know."

First Ten Days of Ramadan: Mercy

Ramadan is broken up into three parts (or Ashras):  the first ten days are for Allah's mercy, the second ten days are for Allah's forgiveness, and the last ten days are for protection from the hell fire.

During the first ten days we should make dua and pray for Allah's mercy on ourselves, our families, friends and communities.  An example of a dua we can recite:

“Rab-bigh-fir war-ham wa Anta Khair-ur-Raahimeen. (Surah Al Muminun:118)

Meaning: My Lord! Forgive and have mercy, for You are the Best of those who show mercy!”

Let us all continue to make the best out of this Ramadan, Inshallah.

Ramadan Mubarak!

Dear Believers,

Ramadan is upon us and we hope that everyone enjoys and gains many blessings during this blessed month.  Below, please find all of the information concerning the masjid prayer and iftar schedules, Taraweeh prayers, and more.

  • We encourage all believers to frequent the Masjid to break fast each evening at Maghrib time
     
  • Community iftars will be offered Fridays and Saturdays starting May 18th.  Please email masjidnumansite@gmail.com or sign-up at the Masjid.
     
  • Due to the lengthy fasting hours and work schedules the traditional Taraweeh prayers will be offered on weekends. Taraweeh prayers are recommended in congregation and can be also offered at home if not able to make it to Masjid. Remember the Prophet did not make Taraweeh a Fard (obligatory) prayer. Taraweeh prayers can help atone from earlier sins.
     
  • In general, we should all increase our prayers and reading of the Qu'ran during this month.
     
  • We also encourage believers to make donations of water, dates and food supplies that can also be used to feed needy at Eid al Fitr

The Last 10 Days of Ramadan

/

ASA Believers,

We are now in the last ten days of Ramadan, the protection from the Hellfire.  During these last nights, we should push ourselves to get as many blessings as we can, and most importantly, seek out Laylatul Qadr, The Night of Power.  As we know, this is a night that is greater than a thousand months, so we should be especially vigilant and exerting ourselves.  The Prophet (PBUH) said that the Night of Power falls on an odd night during the last ten days of the month.

“The Prophet said: “Whoever prays during the night of Qadr with faith and hoping for its reward will have all of his previous sins forgiven.”
— (Bukhari and Muslim recorded from Abu Huraira).

There are many things we can do during the last ten days to increase our blessings including increasing our prayers and dua, reading Qu'ran, asking for protection from the Hellfire, giving more charity, and asking Allah (SWT) for the things we want to accomplish.
