Remembering & Honoring the Beloved Daughter of Prophet Muhammad [Sallal Laahu Alaiehi Wa Sallam]-3rd Ramadaan ul Mubaarak....
Some of the famous laurels awarded to Hazrat Faatimah (May Allaah be pleased with her) are Baatool, Zahraa, Taiyyibah, Tahiraah, and Zakiyaa. She is called Batool because throughout her lifetime she did not love this world and adopted independence from it. The titles Zahraa, Taiyyibah, and Taahirah reveal her purity. Such purity has not and will not be received by any woman in the world!

Ramazan first jummah
THE WISDOM BEHIND FASTING
There are reasons and wisdom behind every single act in Islaam, no matter how small. It is possible to know the wisdom behind some acts, and for others we may never know. Salaat, for instance, is a daily training for purifying the believer and reminding him or her that he/she is a member in a community of believers. Fasting, on the other hand, is an annual institution containing all conceivable attributes for human excellence. It is a training for the body and soul, a renewal of life, encouraging the spirit of sharing and giving.
Self-Restraint (Taqwaa)
Allaah Kareem states: "O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you that you may (learn) self-restraint." (Al-Qur'aan, 2:183)
This verse indicates the first lesson or wisdom to be gained in fasting is Taqwa (self-restraint or the conscious of Allaah Almight. That is to say, fasting instills in the heart the essence of consciousness of the Creator, moral courage both in secret and manifest, guiding the heart, the seat of emotion from spoilage and moral indecency.
Fasting instills taqwaa or conscious of Allaah Kareem, and does so by controlling two aspects of the human body, which are the root causes of human downfall, namely the stomach and the private parts. The human body is constructed with the need to please the two of them and, in the process, man transgresses the rights of others, fellow human beings, and the commandments of Allaah Kareem are violated. By Fasting one raises the level of taqwa, thereby the person avoids the sins, which are detrimental to life itself.
THE QURAAN ON FASTING
The first step for a Muslim to realize is the fact that fasting the month of Ramadaan is obligatory and that Allaah Almighty has prescribed it for us in His Mubaraak Holy Book:
Allaah [Subhanhu Wa Ta'alaa] has told us about Fasting in Ramadaan on several places in the Qur’aan Al Hakeem.
"Fasting for a fixed number of days is prescribed for you, but if any of you is ill or on a journey, the same number (should be made up) from other days. And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (an old man, etc.), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a poor person (for every day). But whoever does good of his own accord, it is better for him. And that you fast, it is better for you if only you know."
Allaah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you. (He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allaah for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him"

Namaaz-Salaah
Rasoolul Laah [Sallal Laahu Alaieh Wa Sallam] was questioned concerning which actions were the most loved and closest to Almighty Allaah. He replied by saying: "To perform Namaaz in its appointed time, and he who leaves Namaaz has no Deen."
THE NIGHT OF DELIVERANCE (Shab-e-Baraa'at)
Um mul Mu’mineen Hazrat Aa‘ishah Siddeeqah
[Radiyal Allaahu Ta’aalaa ‘Anhaa]
has narrated that…
The Prophetصلى الله عليه وسلم stood up in prayer during part of the night and made his prostration so lengthy that I thought his soul had been taken back. When I saw this I got up and went to move his big toe, whereupon he moved, so I drew back. When he raised his head from prostration and finished praying, he
صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “O A’ishaa! Did you think that the Prophet had broken his agreement with you?” She replied: “No, by Allaah, O Messenger of Allaah, but I thought that your soul had been taken back because you stayed in prostration for so long.” He said: “Do you know what night this is?” She said: “Allaah and His Prophet know best.”
He said:
“This is the night of Mid-Sha`baan! Verily Allaah the Glorious and Majestic look at His servants on “the night of mid-Sha`ban, and He forgives those who ask forgiveness, and He bestows mercy on those who ask mercy, and He gives a delay to the people of envy and spite in their state.”....excerpt from Speech Allamah Kaukab Noorani Okarvi
THE NIGHT OF DELIVERANCE (Shab-e-Baraa'at)
One should end discords and mend relations before sunset of 14th Sha’baan. Fulfil the rights of others; else get waiver so at the book of deeds is presented in His court devoid of rights of others. Regarding the rights of Allaah Kareem , mere sincere repentance is sufficient. It is mentioned in a Hadees:
التائب من الذنب كمن لا ذنب له
Whoever repents of his sin, is as if he has not committed the sin at all.
التائب من الذنب كمن لا ذنب له
Whoever repents of his sin, is as if he has not committed the sin at all.
