All praise is for Allah. we paise Him and seek His help and His forgiveness and we believe in Him and rely on Him. We seek refuge with Allah from the evils of our selves and the vices of our deeds. There is no one to misguide whom Allah guides and there is no one to guide whom Allah lets go astray. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah Alone. He has no partner. I also bear witness that our authority, our Prophet and our Master, Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger. May Allah have mercy on him, his household and on his Companions and bless them and send peace on them in great abundance. RAMADAN - A MONTH OF BLESSING The month of Ramadan is a great blessing from Allah, the Exalted. We cannot realise the gravity of its blessings because we are occupied in worldly affairs all the time. We are engrossed in materalism day in and dayout so we cannot comprehend the significance of the month. But, those whom Allah has blessed with His favours recognise the blessings and glow which Allah showers during the month and they truly value the month. When the Prophet & sighted the moon heralding Rajab, he would say:
"0 Allah bless us during ~ajab and Sha'ban and cause us to see Rama'zan "
He meant to say ,"Prolong our lives that we may live through Ramazan" We must observe two months before the month of Ramazan, he began his watch for it, and showed eageraess who recognises the value of the month will make this supplication and wait for it.
SUPPLITCATION FOR LONGEVITY
This Hadith confirms that a man may pray to Allah to give him a long life if his intention is to spend it in a way that pleases Allah, so he may accumulate pious deeds for the next world .He may pray, "0 Allah! Increase my life that I may live to seek Your pleasure and come to You as one entitled to receive Your pleasure ". However, some
people pray to Allah to take them away from this world. The Prophet 4% has forbidden us to make such a
supplication and he has said that we must not yearn to death. Some people pray for death hoping that they would
be relieved from the problems the face in this world but, do they examine themselves and see what they have
amassed for the next world? Have they ensured that they would find peace there? Rather, we must pray for security
and for ability to spend the rest of or lives in a way that pleases Allah. Aameen
