The Month of Hajj is soon to come

To Mecca the people will begin to run

Around the Kaaba they will make Tawaaf
Then, to Arafat they will be off

On Arafat the people will stand
Then the next day Eid Aludha will begin

In the Eid morning together we will pray
Then the rest of the day it is eat, run, and play

Now it is off to Moozdelifah where the pilgrims will stay
Their stop in this place is until the next day

The next place is Mina where the pilgrims will go
At this stop is the Jammrah and pebbles they’ll throw.

The tenth day of Hajj for the pilgrims is busy indeed
But for the rest of the Muslims it is the Eid.

The pilgrims are busy to Mecca they return
They have the hopes that all of these good deeds they will soon earn

One of these acts is sacrificing a sheep
Then they will trim their hair with still the hope of good deeds to reap

Again the pilgrims will make Tawaaf
Then running between Saffa and Marwa they will be off

On the 11th day of Hajj back to Mina they will go
For the next three days at the Jammrah they will throw.

The Hajj for the pilgrims is coming to an end
They are hoping that Allah accepted it all from where they began

There is one more thing that the pilgrims must make
It is seven more times around the Kaaba for Allah’s sake

Back to their lives the pilgrims return
Hoping Allah accepted all that they earned

The ship of Ramadan has embark to rescue us from sins that overwhelmed us, & dark waves about to swallow us! Let's take advantage of it!

Remember Ramadan is a good chance to change to be better person InshaaAllah

I heard the Messenger of Allah(saw) say,
'Whoever is deprived of KINDNESS is deprived of all good.

Seek (beneficial) knowledge,
because seeking it for the sake of Allaah is a worship.
And knowing it makes you more God-fearing;
and searching for it is jihad,
teaching it to those who do not know is charity,
reviewing and learning it more is like tasbeeh.
Through knowledge Allaah will be known and worshiped.

Keep yourself busy in remembering your faults so that you have no time left to remember the faults of OTHERS

All humans are dead except those who have knowledge;
and all those who have knowledge are asleep, except those who do good deeds;
and those who do good deeds are deceived, except those who are sincere;
and those who are sincere are always in a state of worry.

"The believer speaks little, but does much.
And the hypocrite talks a lot, but does little.
The believer's speech is wisdom,
his silence is contemplation,
his gaze is pondering,
his actions are righteous.
So if this is your state, you shall perpetually be in worship"

Prophet Muhammad never claimed he was god nor the son of god nor an angel, but he honestly and fairly said what god ordered him to say; that he is a human being to whom was revealed a message from god almighty to call people to worship their Lord alone and associate no one in worship with him.

Rabi’a b. Ka’b (radiyAllaahu ‘anhu) said: I was with Allah’s Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) one night. and I brought him water and what he required. He said to me: Ask (anything you like). I said: I ask your company in Paradise. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Or anything else besides it. I said: That is all (what I require). He said: Then help me to achieve this for you by deyoting yourself often to prostration...

A learned man who doesn’t restrain his passions is like a blind man holding a torch, he guides others but not himself.
