"Do not revile the rooster for it wakes you up for prayer." [Abu Dawud]. Three voices that are loved by Allah, namely: the voice of the roosters, the voice of one who is reading Qur'an and the voice of the one who calls for forgiveness before the break of day. Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'When you hear a rooster crowing, then ask Allah for His bounties, for it has seen an angel, and when you hear a donkey braying, then seek refuge in Allah from Shaitan, for it has seen a Shaitan' [Sahih al-Bukhari, Muslim, Ahmad] The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Do not revile the rooster for it wakes you up for prayer." [Abu Dawud] . Abu Hurairah [may Allah be pleased with him] narrated that: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “when you hear the crowing of the roosters, then ask Allah of His bounty, for verily they have seen an ange...

Retaining Our Spirituality After Ramadhaan
Retaining Our Spirituality After Ramadhaan We enrolled 30 days in a course called Ramadhaan to reach "Taqwah"(Fear of Allah Ta'ala Ta'ala). It was a time of renewal and re-establishment of our commitment to our Beloved ALLAH TA'ALA and HIS beautiful Deen-ul-Islaam. Al-Hamdulillah! Many have graduated with flying colours – embracing them with positive Deeni (Islamic)changes. Now is a crucial time to put it into practice! We fasted, gave charity, read the Qur'aan Kareem and performed the Qiyamul Layl (Tahajjud) especially the last ten, standing in prayer before ALLAH TA'ALA.
