we are in the final days of Ramadaan

[Muhammed Faraaz Ebrahim]

The virtues for some nafl salaah which one should endeavour to perform, especially in Ramadhaan.

Ishraaq: It is performed approximately 20 minutes after sunrise. The one who performs two rakaats of ishraaq salaah gets the reward of performing one hajj and 'umrah.

Salaatud Duha (chaasht): This salaah is performed when the sun has risen high (approximately midway between sunrise and zawaal). Among its virtues is that it is sadaqah for all the 360 joints in the body. One's (minor) sins are also forgiven. A minimum of 2 rakaats and a maximum of 8 rakaats can be performed.

Awwabeen: Six rakaats of nafl performed after maghrib are known as awwabeen. One's (minor) sins are forgiven, even if they are equal to the foam on the sea. According to a narration of Saheeh ibn Khuzaimah, one is granted a reward of 12 years of 'ibaadah.

Tahajjud: This salaah is performed in the last part of the night. This is the most virtuous of all the salaahs after the fardh salaah. It is a means of one's forgiveness and a means of safety against committing sins. The time of tahajjud is also a special time for the acceptance of du'aas. It is very easy to perform this salaah in Ramadhaan due to waking up for sehri.

Allah, The Most Exalted, says:

“And they feed for the Love of Allah,The Indigent, The Orphan and the Captives, Saying: We feed you for Allah’s Sake…” (Qur’an76:8-9) 

 

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

“When a person assumes the responsibility of providing for an orphan, Allaah shall certainly admit him into Jannah unless he had committed a sin that cannot be forgiven.”(Hadith-Tirmidhi)

YA RAHMAAN! YA RAHEEM!
we are in the final days of Ramadaan and have not given due regard to this blessed month.

YA ALLAH!
We are hopeful that YOU will overlook our negligence and forgive our sins even if they exceeds the foams of the ocean.
YA ALLAH!
Please forgive us, PLEASE forgive us, PLEASE forgive us,
PLEASE forgive us, because if You do not look at us with mercy, then surely we are doomed.

YA ALLAH!
اللْهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
Allahumma Innaka Afuwwun Tuhibbul Afwa Fa'aFu Annaa

 "0h Allah, You Are The Forgiver, You Love Forgiveness, So Forgive us"
