🍂🌸 Fasting in Shawwal 🌼🌴

🪸🌟 One of the things we can do to keep our momentum going is fast six days of Shawwāl. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Fasting Ramaḍān is like fasting ten months, and fasting six days thereafter (in Shawwāl) is like fasting two months. That is like fasting a whole year” (Aḥmad).✨🌙

💐🩷 Ibn Rajab (raḥimahullāh) explains the benefits of keeping the 6 Shawwāl fasts: 1. ✨The reward of fasting the entire year. As Allah (ʿazza wa jall) rewards tenfold for a good deed, a servant will be rewarded for ten months of fasting due to fasting for the month of Ramaḍān; and the 6 days of fasting will be equivalent to fasting two further months, making it a total of a year. 2. 🌟Fasting in Shaʿbān and Shawwāl is like performing the sunan mu’akkadah (rawātib) prayers before and after the farḍ ṣalāhs. They make up for and atone for the deficiencies of the farḍ acts. 3. 📌Continuing to fast after Ramaḍān is a sign that one’s Ramaḍān was accepted. If Allah (ʿazza wa jall) accepts a good deed, he gives his servant the tawfīq to follow this up with another good deed, as a pious predecessor said: ‘The reward of a good deed is another good deed’. 4. 🫀Fasting in Ramaḍān leads to one’s sins being forgiven, and those who fasted in Ramaḍān are given their reward in full on the Day of Eid i.e. the Day of Prizes. Fasting after Eid is a means of thanking Allah (subḥānahū wa taʿālā) for this blessing. 5. 🪸The actions through which one seeks to attain Allah’s closeness in Ramaḍān do not come to an end with the end of Ramaḍān. Rather one must continue with them throughout the year. (Adapted from Laṭā’if al-Maʿārif ) 🍂✨🍂✨🍂✨🍂✨🍂✨🍂✨🍂✨🍂

⛱️ ﷽ ⛱️ ✨ *Tears of Mercy- Ways to Weep for Allah* ✨ You start your life crying and others cry for you when your life ends. Children cry when they hurt themselves, don’t get what they want, are scared, or even out of compassion. But does a child ever cry out of happiness? Only as adults do we cry from happiness or love. There are even people who get paid to cry! Why do we so easily cry when we are in fights with our spouses, when we fail at work, or when we are ill, but when we stand in prayer or listen to the Quran we have trouble squeezing out a tear? For some reason the Quran does not make us emotional?! *Rediscover Your Emotions* Only something that’s important to you will make you emotional. That’s why some people are emotional each day about the situation of oppressed Muslims worldwide, while others aren’t because they don’t feel connected to the ummah. This is also why the verses of the Quran do not make us as emotional as we should be, because our connection with Allah and His words is overshadowed by our connection to this world, its people, and its belongings. For what reasons would the prophet weep? “…Out of mercy for the dead, out of fear and compassion for his ummah, out of deep fear of Allah, upon listening to the Quran. And it was a weeping of longing, love and exaltation, accompanied by fear.” (Ibn al Qayyim, Zaad al Ma’aad) It’s time to wake up our hearts to what gives us life! *To be continued...✍🏻* WhatsApp (Only for sisters 🧕) - Contact Admin- Gemsofjannah98 Telegram - T.me/Gemsofjannah98 Instagram - https://instagram.com/gemsofjannah_98?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
