A Dua of our Holy Prophet ﷺ,

“O God, bless us in Rajab and Sha’ban and bring us to Ramadan.” Insha’Allah we attained Rajab and Sha’ban, and may we enter the month of Ramadan with Barakah insha’Allah.

Today is the day of Jum’ah. It is Jum’ah and insha’Allah tonight there will be Tarawih and the beginning of Ramadan. As we said yesterday, its condition is to see the crescent moon. As we don’t see the crescent, we follow whatever the government, Ulu l- ‘Amr say. We act based on that. And Allah ﷻ said to obey Ulu l-‘Amr. We have to obey Ulu l-‘Amr in these things, because there is nothing you can do. Many people don’t even know where the moon appears from and where it sets.

Therefore, we follow Ulu l-‘Amr. According to their calculations, insha’Allah it is tomorrow, and it starts tonight. At Maghrib, the holy month of Ramadan will begin. And after ‘Isha, we will pray Tarawih insha’Allah. May it be full of Barakah. That’s the Du’a of our Holy Prophet ﷺ, regarding Barakah.

These three months are blessed months. Especially, the month of Ramadan which is more different. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla granted more beauties to it, as it is the month of the Ummah. Wherever you are, you feel that beauty; whether in Muslim countries, or non-Muslim countries, everywhere. People who fast and pray Tarawih attain that happiness. They attain that beauty. Allah ‘Azza wa Jalla gives such big favors to them even in this world that no other people can find except those who fast and pray Tarawih in Ramadan.

The month of Ramadan is the month of happiness and beauty. People say in the beginning, “There is fasting and Tarawih now. How will we do it?” But when they get that beautiful taste, they feel sad when it is over.

Therefore Shukr to Allah ﷻ, Allah ﷻ has given us great favors. He ﷻ gave us the favor of Iman. These beauties are given through it. When we don’t have it, nothing has any benefit and nothing has any beauty. There are favors, but the greatest favor is Iman. When you have it, you are complete. When you don’t have it, you are not [only] incomplete, but you are nothing. Your life is useless. You live for nothing. And in the end, there will be disappointment and suffering. May Allah ﷻ protect us. May Allah ﷻ bless this Ramadan. May it become a means for strong Iman.

People are running away. They think that they are doing something important and that they are smart. People who run away from religion and worship are not aware of what they lose. May Allah ﷻ help us. May it be blessed for all of us insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.

There are recited Qur’an Khatms, Yasin, Surahs and Ayat, Salawat and Tasbihat. They have recited from all over the world. May Allah ﷻ be pleased with them, they have gifted it. We dedicate their gift firstly to our Holy Prophet ﷺ, to his Ahlu l-Bayt and Sahahah, to the souls of all Anbiya, Awliya and Mashayikh, to the souls of believers and the deceased relatives. May those who have recited them reach their good goals. May they be happy here and hereafter, and all of us insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ accept it insha’Allah and make it last.

Al-Fatiha.
