POEM DEDICATED TO THE MAGNIFICENCE OF LAYLATUL-QADAR

#AlgazelusLetterToSelf

02.April.24 #RamadanDay22

Dear self,

As we approach the sacred night of laylatul-qadar, I hope this letter finds you in the best of health and spirits. I write to you with love and sincerity, as I reflect upon the blessings and opportunities bestowed upon us by Allah S.W.T on this auspicious occasion.

How often do we take the time to check in with ourselves? In the midst of our busy lives, we often neglect our well-being and overlook the importance of self-care. But tonight, as we pray for forgiveness and guidance, I urge you to take a moment and ask yourself, “How am I doing?” Acknowledge your thoughts and feelings, and most importantly, be gentle and kind to yourself.

On this blessed night, I would like to share with you a poem that I have written, dedicated to the magnificence of laylatul-qadar. I pray that it resonates with your heart and reminds you of the immense blessings that this night brings.

Laylatul-qadar, the night of decree,

A night that is better than a thousand months, can’t you see?

The angels descend with peace and blessings,

As the mercy of Allah upon us is showering.

Under the starry sky, we raise our hands in prayer,

Seeking forgiveness for our sins, as we are aware.

We reflect upon our actions, our deeds,

And our hearts are filled with remorse and needs.

As we recite the verses of the Holy Quran,

The beauty of the words, our hearts find solace in.

Reminding us of the purpose of our existence,

And the trials of this life, with perseverance.

Dear self, as you stand in front of your Lord,

Let your heart be filled with gratitude and accord.

For this night, a chance for your sins to be erased,

And the doors of Paradise gloriously opened and embraced.

But as we lay in prostration, seeking His mercy,

Let us not forget those who are deprived of His bounty.

Let us pray for the suffering and the oppressed,

And strive to alleviate their pain and distress.

For this night, it is not just about our salvation,

But also about spreading love and compassion.

Let us embody the teachings of our faith,

And strive to make this world a better place.

Dear self, as the night passes by,

Let it be a reminder for you and I,

To better ourselves and strive for goodness,

And in this journey, may Allah be our sole witness.

So, as we bid farewell to this magnificent night,

Let us hold on to its blessings with all our might.

For even though it comes once a year,

Its impact on our hearts, forever will adhere.

Loving you always,

Soul.

THE NIGHT OF THE DECREE

Dear Self,

Assalammualaykum. As I sit down to write this essay, memories of Ramadan flood my mind. The purest month of the Islamic calendar, a month filled with blessings, mercy, and forgiveness. And in the midst of it all, there is one night that holds special significance – Laylat-ul-Qadr. A night that is better than a thousand months, a night where the doors of Jannah are open, and prayers are accepted. Dear Self, as you reflect on your journey through life, I want to remind you of the importance of this holy night.

Since the day I remember, the shifting of time, day and night, has always fascinated me. But none more so than the blessed nights of Ramadan. We were taught from a young age in madrasa about the significance of Laylat-ul-Qadr and the power of seeking Allah's blessings on this night. It was always a moment of anticipation, hoping to witness this blessed night and receive mercy and forgiveness from Allah (SWT).

The surah Al-Qadr plays a vital role in the last ten days of Ramadan. It is a short but powerful chapter of the Holy Quran that highlights the immense blessings and mercy of Allah (SWT) on Laylat-ul-Qadr. In just a few lines, it emphasizes the importance of this night and the opportunities it provides for us to seek forgiveness, increase worship, and strive for a better relationship with Allah (SWT). It serves as a reminder to us that this night is not to be taken lightly. It is a night that can change our destiny, and we must seize every moment of it.

Dear Self, as you reflect on this special night, never forget to seek Allah's mercy and forgiveness. The du'a for forgiveness, (O Allah, I have wronged myself greatly, and there is none to forgive sins but You, so forgive me with Your forgiveness and have mercy on me. You are Forgiving, Merciful.) has been passed down to us as a reminder of our human nature and Allah's immense mercy. Let us continuously seek His forgiveness, mercy, and acceptance, not just on Laylat-ul-Qadr but every day of our lives.

Dear Self, as we strive to become better versions of ourselves, let us remember that our journey through this dunya is temporary. Our ultimate goal is to attain Jannah, and Laylat-ul-Qadr is a night that brings us closer to that goal. So, let us not waste this precious night in frivolous activities, but rather, let us spend it in prayer, remembrance of Allah, and seeking His forgiveness.

As I conclude this letter, I want to remind you, dear Self, to continue to seek Allah's guidance and blessings. Let us strive to make the most of every moment and make every day like Laylat-ul-Qadr. Let us love and seek the pleasure of Allah (SWT) not only in this dunya but also in the hereafter.

Loving you from this dunya and hereafter,

Soul.

SITTING IN A CORNER CAN BE A VALUABLE AND TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it is easy to get swept away by the constant demands and distractions around us. We often find ourselves caught up in the chaos, without taking a step back to reflect on our actions and the world we live in.

Sitting in a corner, away from the noise and distractions, allows us to disconnect from the external world and reconnect with our inner selves. It provides us with a much-needed space to ponder upon our thoughts and emotions, and contemplate our place in the world. It is during these moments of solitude that we can find some wisdom and clarity in the chaos that surrounds us.

As I sit in a corner, I find myself in a state of mindfulness, where I am fully present in the moment and aware of my surroundings. I observe the people passing by, the various sounds and smells, and the beauty of nature around me. This simple act of observation helps me to appreciate the world in a different light and understand the complexities of human existence.

Moreover, sitting in a corner also allows me to reflect on my own experiences and the lessons I have learned in life. It is a time for introspection, where I can acknowledge my mistakes and make peace with my past. It enables me to gain a deeper understanding of myself and my place in the world, which ultimately helps me to grow and evolve as a person.

But, it is not just self-reflection that makes sitting in a corner a powerful tool for personal growth. It also allows me to ponder upon the world around me and the challenges we face as a society. From global issues like poverty and climate change to personal struggles such as mental health and societal pressures to conform, there is no shortage of problems in our world. However, in the quiet of a corner, I can contemplate these issues and find ways to contribute to their solutions.

These moments of contemplation result in my notes upon pondering and wondering. They are my thoughts and insights, my ideas and perspectives on the world. And while they may seem insignificant to some, to me, they hold the potential to make a difference. They are the seeds of change, the catalysts for progress, and the building blocks of a better world.

The world we live in is not perfect, and there is no denying the negative situations that exist. But, by taking the time to sit in a corner and ponder upon it, we can find the wisdom and motivation to turn these negative situations into something positive. It allows us to take a step back and see the bigger picture, to understand the root causes of the problems and find ways to address them.

In a world that is continuously moving at a fast pace, sitting in a corner may seem counterintuitive. But, in truth, it is more important now than ever before. In a society that values productivity and constant activity, we often forget the importance of stillness and reflection. However, it is in these moments of stillness that we can find the clarity, inspiration, and wisdom to create a better world for ourselves and future generations.

Dear self,

As we enter the holy month of Ramadan, I want to take some time to reflect on 30 aspects of life that we can improve during this blessed time. This month is not just about abstaining from food and water, but it is also a time for spiritual growth, self-reflection, and self-improvement. I believe that by focusing on these aspects, we can make the most of this month and come out as better individuals.

1. Strengthening our faith: Ramadan is a time to reconnect with our faith and strengthen our relationship with Allah. Let us take this opportunity to increase our knowledge of Islam, read the Quran, and engage in acts of worship such as prayer, dua, and charity.

2. Forgive and seek forgiveness: It is said that Ramadan is the month of forgiveness. Let us forgive those who have wronged us and seek forgiveness from those we have wronged. This will not only bring peace to our hearts but also strengthen our relationships.

3. Practice patience: Fasting teaches us patience, and during this month, we should strive to practice patience in all aspects of our life, whether it’s during the long fasting hours or dealing with difficult situations.

4. Be empathetic: Ramadan is a time to practice empathy towards others. Let us try to understand the struggles of those who are less fortunate than us and lend a helping hand wherever we can.

5. Control our anger: It is said that the true test of your self-control is when you are angry. Let us use this month to control our anger and react with calmness and kindness.

6. Focus on self-care: It is essential to take care of our physical and mental health during Ramadan. Let us make it a priority to eat healthy, get enough rest, and engage in activities that bring us peace and joy.

7. Avoid gossip and negative talk: Ramadan is not just about refraining from eating and drinking but also about controlling our tongues. Let us avoid gossip and negative talk and instead use our words to spread kindness and positivity.

8. Practice gratitude: As we fast and experience hunger and thirst, let us be grateful for the blessings in our lives. Gratitude brings contentment and helps us appreciate the little things in life.

9. Stay away from distractions: In today’s fast-paced world, we are constantly bombarded with distractions. During Ramadan, let us limit our use of social media, television, and other distractions and focus on our spiritual growth.

10. Give back to the community: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was known for his generosity, and Ramadan is a time to follow in his footsteps. Let us give back to our community by volunteering, donating, or simply being kind to those around us.

11. Strengthen family bonds: Ramadan is a great time to strengthen our relationships with our family. Let us make an effort to spend quality time with our loved ones, engage in meaningful conversations, and make memories together.

12. Control our spending: During Ramadan, we should also strive to control our spending habits. Let us resist the urge to overspend on unnecessary things and instead focus on spending on things that benefit us and others.

13. Increase in acts of charity: The rewards for acts of charity are multiplied during Ramadan. Let us take this opportunity to give to those in need and benefit from the blessings of this month.

14. Be mindful of our thoughts: Our thoughts can have a significant impact on our actions and behaviors. Let us be mindful of our thoughts and strive to have positive, uplifting thoughts during this month.

15. Reflect on our blessings: As we experience hunger and thirst during the day, let us reflect on the many blessings in our lives and be grateful for them.

16. Connect with nature: Take some time during this month to connect with nature. Go for a walk, sit in the park, or simply admire the beauty of Allah’s creation. This will help us feel more grounded and connected to our creator.

17. Read the Quran with understanding: Ramadan is the month of the Quran, and we should make an effort to read and understand its message. Let us ponder over its verses and try to apply its teachings in our daily lives.

18. Pray in congregation: There is a special reward for praying in congregation, and we should make an effort to attend the taraweeh prayers at the mosque. This will also give us a sense of community and unity with our fellow Muslims.

19. Learn a new skill: Use the extra time during Ramadan to learn a new skill or improve an existing one. This will not only make us feel productive but also benefit us in our personal and professional life.

20. Drink plenty of water: It is crucial to stay hydrated during Ramadan, especially when we are fasting for long hours. Let us make sure to drink enough water during non-fasting hours to avoid dehydration.

21. Seek knowledge: In Islam, seeking knowledge is considered a highly virtuous act. Let us take this month as an opportunity to gain knowledge about our religion, other cultures, or any other topic that interests us.

22. Reflect on our mistakes: We are all human, and we make mistakes. Let us use this month to reflect on our mistakes, seek forgiveness, and make a sincere effort to improve ourselves.

23. Spend time in solitude: Amidst the chaos of our daily lives, it is crucial to take some time for ourselves. Use this month to disconnect from the world and spend some time in solitude, reflecting and getting closer to Allah.

24. Avoid wastage: As we learn to control our desires and refrain from food and water during the day, let us also strive to avoid wastage of food and water during Ramadan.

25. Be kind to ourselves: We are often our harshest critics, but during this month, let us be kind to ourselves. Give yourself a break from negative self-talk and focus on your strengths and accomplishments.

26. Seek forgiveness from Allah: Allah loves to forgive his servants, and during Ramadan, it is easier to seek forgiveness for our sins. Let us take advantage of this opportunity and ask for forgiveness with sincere hearts.

27. Keep our intentions pure: As we engage in acts of worship and good deeds, let us constantly remind ourselves to keep our intentions pure and solely for the sake of Allah.

28. Practice moderation: Islam teaches us to practice moderation in all aspects of our life. Let us use this month to practice moderation in our eating, spending, and daily activities.

29. Make a dua list: During this blessed time, our duas are more likely to be accepted. Let us make a list of all the things we want to ask Allah for and make earnest dua every day.

30. Make a plan for after Ramadan: As the month comes to an end, let us set goals and make a plan to continue our spiritual growth and self-improvement even after Ramadan.

As we embark on this journey of self-improvement, may Allah protect us, bless us, forgive us, and accept our duas. Let us use this month as an opportunity to become better versions of ourselves and strengthen our relationship with Allah.

Love,

Your soul

Sufism:

Being a Sufi doesn’t mean that I have to spend my life defending myself or explaining my choices to others.

Why TIME IS ESSENTIAL?

Time is an essential component of life and this is no different for Muslims; it has been acknowledged in the Quran, both explicitly and indirectly. The Quran, the holy book of Islam, emphasizes the importance of managing time and using it in service of Allah and good deeds.

In verse 103 of chapter 2, Al-Baqarah, Allah says: “Your time is limited and it is preordained.” This stresses the fact that every human being is allotted a certain amount of time in their life which is finite, and it is recorded. This emphasizes the need for us to make the most of the time we have been given and prioritize our time accordingly.

I was deeply grateful to my colleagues for imparting such valuable knowledge to me, which really opened my eyes to the importance of being an effective father. I feel more empowered and reassured in my quest to be an exemplary father, knowing that I can rely on their advice in this venture.

Yesterday was indeed a lucky and blessed day. I will cherish my conversation with my esteemed colleagues about “being an effective father”, and I hope to pass this knowledge on to many others, in the same spirit.

Concepts of Tawakkul in Islam

Functioning as a main tenet in Islam, ‘Tawakkul’ is often referred to as self-control and trust in Allah. Tawakkul (Arabic for ‘Total Reliance on God’) shifts our focus to the Almighty and reminds us that only He is in control of the universe. It highlights that Allah alone is responsible for our destiny –– a fact that relieves a great part of stress from our lives and allows us to focus on our duties. It instructs us in the correct way to balance between relying on Allah and using our means to achieve our desired objectives.

In Islam, the concept of Tawakkul involves an individual trusting in Allah and ....read more click this link https://algazelus.blogspot.com/2023/06/part-i-concepts-of-tawakkul.html

Youth Radicalization in Mindanao is a Right to self-determination.

By Algazelus

Why is the war in Mindanao unending? There are so many reasons behind this, from the perspectives and points of view of minority groups and from the government side. First, the government started the Moro war in 1968, and second, the government continues to cover up crimes of impunity they are so guilty about. Therefore, as long as government denies responsibility in the warring itself, there can’t be any possibility of viably crafting solution measures for the people of Mindanao.

This article focuses on informing people about activities such as radicalization, where young people are at risk and influenced by this extremist group. An underlying question is: How do the environment and the involved group ask them to do such a thing? And how can this be addressed?

Prayer at Night (Tahajjud)

Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit:

The Prophet (ﷺ) "Whoever gets up at night and says: -- 'La ilaha il-lallah Wahdahu la Sharika lahu Lahu-lmulk, waLahu-l-hamd wahuwa 'ala kullishai'in Qadir. Al hamdu lil-lahi wa subhanal-lahi wa la-ilaha il-lal-lah wa-l-lahu akbar wa la hawla Wala Quwata il-la-bil-lah.'

Ramadan 1444H

(Day 19) We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power: And what will explain to thee what the night of power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah's permission, on every errand: Peace!... This until the rise of morn!

-Al-Qadr: 1-5

Prayer at Night (Tahajjud)

Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit:

The Prophet (ﷺ) "Whoever gets up at night and says: -- 'La ilaha il-lallah Wahdahu la Sharika lahu Lahu-lmulk, waLahu-l-hamd wahuwa 'ala kullishai'in Qadir. Al hamdu lil-lahi wa subhanal-lahi wa la-ilaha il-lal-lah wa-l-lahu akbar wa la hawla Wala Quwata il-la-bil-lah.' (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah. He is the Only One and has no partners . For Him is the Kingdom and all the praises are due for Him. He is Omnipotent. All the praises are for Allah. All the glories are for Allah. And none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, And Allah is Great And there is neither Might nor Power Except with Allah). And then says: -- Allahumma, Ighfir li (O Allah! Forgive me). Or invokes (Allah), he will be responded to and if he performs ablution (and prays), his prayer will be accepted."
