It's ALL about HENNA!
Thursday, October 14, 2004
Alhamdulillah, we will be seeing another Ramadan soon, Insya Allah. May Allah strengthen us in our iman and bestow upon us good health so that we can accomplish our fast with taqwa and patience. Amiin!
"Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may attain taqwaa." [2:183]
"The most honoured by Allah amongst you are those best in taqwaa." [49:13]
The reward for fasting is immense, as mentioned in the following Hadeeth:
"Every action of the son of Adam is given manifold reward, each good deed receiving then times its like, up to seven hundred times. Allah the Most High said, 'Except for fasting, for it is for Me and I will give recompense for it, he leaves off his desires and his food for Me.' for the fasting person there are two times of joy; a time when he breaks his fast and a time of joy when he meets his Lord, and the smell coming from the mouth of the fasting person is better with Allah than the smell of musk." [al-Bukhaaree]

[al-Bukhaaree]
Also, Sahl ibn Sa`d said that the Prophet (s.a.w.) said: "Indeed there is a gate of Paradise called ar-Rayyaan. On the day of Resurrection those who fast will enter through it; no one enters it except for them, and when they have entered, it is closed so that no one enters it, so when the last of them enters it, it is closed, and whoever enters it drinks, and whoever drinks never becomes thirsty." [Ibn Khuzaimah, Saheeh].

Thank you all lovely bloggers and visitors for the tags. I apologise for my inability to return any of it lately. As some of you know, I'm currently buried under a mess called "The Last Assignment". My exams will follow soon after (end of October) so my nose would be stuck in books and I won't be able to update for awhile.
Nonetheless, if you still feel inclined to visit, I welcome you with wide open arms (and imaginary fudgy wudgy brownies) and appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. I do enjoy reading your tags and emails and sms, etc etc. For those enquiring about henna, please email me. I'll try my best to reply ASAP.
Wishing all of you a blessed Ramadan, see you again in November, Insya Allah!
