Ramadhan Greetings

Assalaamu 'Alaiykum; Peace and Guidance; Greetings; Good Night;

All praise is for Allaah, Lord of all the Worlds, who ordered us to follow His Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and to call to His Way, and may Allaah send praises and blessings of peace upon our Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), and upon his family, his Companions, and those who truly follow them until the Day of Judgment.

We implore Allaah, the Most High, to make this Ramadaan a month of blessing for everyone. May this Ramadaan bring peace and prosperity globally.

Indeed, Ramadaan is the month of blessings and great reward by Almighty Allaah for good observance of virtuous deeds, fasting and Salaah, thus we need to express our gratitude to Allaah, Who has enabled us to observe virtues, deed and at the same time, granted us abundant provision during this sacred month.

Ramadan is the best chance to ask Allah for forgiveness. Thank Him for His blessings and for keeping us alive till this moment. Our sincere prayers, our devotion and our faith in Allah, will make us better humans to serve this country with wisdom and truth.

May the blessings of Allah fill our life with happiness and open all the doors of success now and always. May Allah always guide us all throughout our journey in life. We wish this Ramadan will infuse us with courage that will help us be triumphant over the adversities of life. Aameen..

RAMADAAN MUBARAK!

Free Our Five Trinidad and Tobago Nationals Detained In Venezuela

How about we start a 'Free the Captives Program' or a Free the Captives Initiative'... Our brothers are locked away in a Venezuelan jail...  They are not only hungry and in need but trapped as well.. So what did our beloved Prophet (s) say about freeing the Captives? Perhaps we need to remind ourselves what's the purpose of this month.. This month is not about eating and drinking and merriment. . It is about self restraint and curbing our desires... it's about understanding and appreciating the sufferings of others.. This is the second Ramadhan our beloved brothers will be spending in captivity away from their wives and children. . So next time you put that morsel of food in your mouth and wash it down with that sweet drink.. Next time you hug your child or your spouse. . Know that your beloved brothers who are locked away in Venezuela and their children and their wives don't have that luxury .. How can we spend this Ramadhan and live with ourselves knowing this and what are we doing as a Muslim brotherhood to resolve this... What if it where your very own would you not have wanted the Muslims to do something? I'm ashamed and worried about our state of affairs. . We seem to have our priorities mixed up... If you are comfortable. .I'm not. . If you are happy. . I'm not. . If you feel safe.. I'm not. . Probably we live in different worlds. .

Allah’s Apostle said, “A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection .”{Book 43, Volume 3, Number 622: Sahih Buhari}

“Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is oppressed.” The Prophet was asked: “It is right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?” He replied: “By preventing him from oppressing others.”{Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Hadith 624}

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Feed the hungry, visit the sick and set free the captives." - Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Hadith 552

"(The righteous are those) who feed the poor, the orphan and the captive for the love of God, saying: 'We feed you for the sake of God Alone; we seek from you neither reward nor thanks.'" - The Holy Quran, 76:8-9

Please I am pleading with the Muslim community for assistance and support. Let us end this Ramadhan making a difference. .. Aameen.
