We will meet the Holy Month in four days inshaAlla

We will meet the Holy Month in four days inshaAllah. As we may know, Allah promises to us to multiply the rewards in the Ramadan.⁣
⁣
But do you know that Allah also promises it outside of Ramadan? It is shown in the hadith below.⁣
⁣
Narrated Abu Hurairah that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:⁣
❝If any one of you improve (follows strictly) his Islamic religion then his good deeds will be rewarded ten times to seven hundred times for each good deed and a bad deed will be recorded as it is.❞⁣
[Saheeh al-Bukhari]⁣
⁣
How generous Allah is for us. We should be grateful for it. As grateful believers, we can show our gratitude by helping people whose lives are not as fortunate as ours. You can give your donations at ussunnah.org/ramadanorphans⁣
⁣
May Allah multiply our good deeds which can lead us to His Jannah. Aameen⁣

How are you today? It is the 5th day before Ramada

How are you today? It is the 5th day before Ramadan. We hope you are in good health always. We hope you are one of those who makes giving as a habit.⁣
⁣
There is no loss to those who give. What they give will grow, just as mentioned in the hadith below.⁣
⁣
Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,⁣
❝None gives charity from what is good, for Allah only accepts what is good, except that the Merciful takes it with his right hand. Even if it is a date, it is nurtured in the hand of the Merciful until it becomes greater than a mountain, just as one of you nurtures his young horse or camel.❞⁣
[Saheeh Muslim]⁣
⁣
Start to give charity, little by little at ussunnah.org/ramadanorphans⁣
Your donations in April will be distributed to feed the fasting people of those who need it.⁣
⁣
We hope with this small step, Allah will give ease for you to do other good things.⁣

💠 Allah Knows What's Good For You 💠⁣
⁣
Allah ﷻ says,⁣
⁣
... وَعَسَىٰٓ أَن تُحِبُّوا۟ شَيْـًٔا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ⁣
⁣
❝... Perhaps you dislike something which is good for you and like something which is bad for you. Allah knows and you do not know.❞⁣
[al-Baqarah, 2:216]⁣
⁣
🔖 Sometimes we couldn't see the wisdom behind many bad things that happened to us. Trust Allah for what had happened.⁣
⁣
📥 The Us-Sunnah Foundation has been trying to solve the issue of poverty among the Muslim community. Support our effort by donating through ussunnah.org/waqf⁣

Ten days left to Ramadan. Time surely pasts so quickly. We hope Allah allows us to worship the Ramadan with the best deed.⁣
⁣
Certainly, Allah gives us tests in our daily lives. But, what is the purpose?⁣
⁣
Allah ﷻ says:⁣
⁣
الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفُورُ⁣
⁣
❝Who has created death and life that He may test you which of you is best in deed. And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving.❞⁣
[al-Mulk, 67:2]⁣
⁣
Allah tests His slaves with good and evil, to show who among them will obey Him in all circumstances and who will only obey Him in some circumstances. And Allah is looking for believers with the best deed. Are you one of them?⁣
⁣

💠 Raise Your Status Before Ramadan Comes 💠⁣
⁣
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said,⁣
❝Charity does not decrease wealth. No one forgives, but Allah increases him in honor, and no one humbles himself before Allah but Allah raises him in status.❞⁣
[Saheeh Muslim]⁣
⁣
🔖 Get used to doing good deeds, so that in the month of Ramadan you will feel easier to do good deeds.⁣
⁣
📥 At ussunnah.org/ramadanorphans your donation in this month will be given to feed needy people in Ramadan.⁣

We are counting down to 15 days to Ramadan. Have you started to prepare for it? We need to be grateful to Allah for having a long life. And we are hoping that we can meet Ramadan this year with ease. Aameen⁣
⁣
Long-life can be two sides of the sword. It can save you, or it can destroy you. It is mentioned in this hadith below:⁣
⁣
'Abdur-Rahman bin Abi-Bakrah narrated from his father that a man said, ❝O Messenger of Allah! Which of the people is the best?❞ He (ﷺ) said, ❝He whose life is long and his deeds are good.❞ He said, ❝Then which of the people is the worst?❞ He (ﷺ) said, ❝He whose life is long and his deeds are bad.❞⁣
[Ahmad and at-Tirmidhi, classed as Saheeh by al-Albani in Saheeh at-Tirmidhi]⁣
The deed is the differentiate. You can be the best man, or the worst man because of it. Now, which one are you?⁣
⁣
We hope that you can be the best man. You can start doing a good deed by helping needy orphans and widows at ussunnah.org/orphans⁣
⁣
May Allah give you abundant rewards. Aameen⁣

💠 Sign of Hypocrites: Delaying the Prayer to the End of the Prescribed Time 💠⁣
⁣
Anas ibn Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said,⁣
❝This is how a hypocrite prays, he sits monitoring the sun (before sunset), until it is about to set, then he stands up and clicks four Rak’ahs (performs the obligatory four-units prayer extremely fast) and mentions Allah very little (during them).❞⁣
⁣
🔖 Avoid delaying prayers without a shar'i reason. Pray on time, so that Allah will give you better rewards.⁣

💠 The Temporal Amusement 💠⁣
⁣
Allah ﷻ says,⁣
⁣
وَمَا ٱلْحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنْيَآ إِلَّا لَعِبٌۭ وَلَهْوٌۭ ۖ وَلَلدَّارُ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ⁣
⁣
❝This worldly life is no more than play and amusement, but far better is the (eternal) Home of the Hereafter for those mindful (of Allah). Will you not then understand?❞⁣
[al-An'am 6:32]⁣
⁣

💠 No One Has Become Poor by Donating 💠⁣
⁣
Allah ﷻ says,⁣
⁣
ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ يَعِدُكُمُ ٱلْفَقْرَ وَيَأْمُرُكُم بِٱلْفَحْشَآءِ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَعِدُكُم مَّغْفِرَةًۭ مِّنْهُ وَفَضْلًۭا ۗ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌۭ⁣
⁣
❝The Devil threatens you with (the prospect of) poverty and bids you to the shameful deed (of stinginess), while Allah promises you forgiveness and (great) bounties from Him. And Allah is All-Bountiful, All-Knowing.❞⁣

💠 Give Away Charity for Allah's Sake 💠⁣
⁣
Allah ﷻ says,⁣
⁣
ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ لَا يُتْبِعُونَ مَآ أَنفَقُوا۟ مَنًّا وَلَآ أَذًۭى ۙ لَّهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ⁣
⁣
❝Those who spend their wealth in the cause of Allah and do not follow their charity with reminders of their generosity or hurtful words—they will get their reward from their Lord, and there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.❞⁣
[al-Baqarah 2:262]⁣
⁣
🔖 Don't boast what you've given, don't look for people's praise. Straighten your intention before, during, and after the deed.⁣
⁣
📥 $5 for poor orphans means a whole month of staple food! Give today to ussunnah.org/orphans⁣
