RAMADHAN (1430 AH / 2009 CE) MESSAGE
"Praise be to ALLAH, Lord of the worlds, and may ALLAH Bless His chosen trustworthy servant, our liege-lord Muhammad; the one who brought to us guidance and the religion of clear truth. May ALLAH Bless him, his pure family, his noble and Blessed companions and those who follow in their footstep till the Day of recompense.
To proceed: To our Brothers (and Sisters), and our beloved for the sake of ALLAH Most High, the people of La ilaha illaALLAH Muhammadur RasuluLlah, the Muslims of Australia: Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu.
O Brothers and loved ones for the sake of ALLAH, transcendent in His Highness, those who believe in Him and His Messenger, Peace and Blessings be upon him his family and his companions;
we congratulate you on the coming of the Forgiveness and Mercy and release from the fire; the arrival of the month of Ramadhan. The noble month in which ALLAH began to send down the Quran; He the Exalted and Esteemed said, "The month of Ramadhan is the one in which the Quran was sent down as guidance to mankind, with clear signs containing clear signs and discrimination."
The coming of this month is highly significant for you, O Believers. Indeed your chosen Prophet, Peace and Blessings be upon him his family and his companions, would endeavour and strive in Ramadhan like no other month and he would strive in the last ten days of it like he would not in the rest of the days of Ramadhan.
He, Peace and Blessings be upon him his family and his companions, was the most generous of people and he was most generous in Ramadhan. When Jibreel Alayhissalam met him in Ramadhan, he was more generous than a cool breeze.
It is duty upon you to welcome the month with happiness and thankfulness to ALLAH Most High. Indeed His caller announces in the nights of Ramadhan, "O seeker of good come forward, and O seeker of evil fail and fall short." On the first night of this month the doors to heaven are opened so that not a door of them is closed for the duration of this month, and the doors to the fire are closed so that not a door is opened for the duration of this month; and the rebellious shayateen are chained.
O Believers in the first night of the month ALLAH Looks upon His creation and whoever ALLAH Looks upon, He will never punish.
O Believers, indeed it is a month of Generosity and Blessings from ALLAH Most High. He Made it obligatory upon us to fast the month, and the Messenger of ALLAH established the Sunnah of reviving its nights in prayer, thus whosoever fasts the month and revives its nights out of faith and anticipation of reward from ALLAH, comes out of his sins like the day his mother gave birth to him. Whosoever fasts the month, his past sins are Forgiven; whosoever stands its nights in worship his past sins are Forgiven.
O Believers, in welcoming this month expand your intentions, Rise to your Lord, Transcendent Most High, by following His chosen servant Muhammad, Peace and Blessings be upon him, his family and his companions. Show those who surround you a reality from the beauty of this Deen, it is the month of generosity, be generous to your neighbors both Muslim and non Muslims. Give them what you can, offer what you can. Present to them a meaning of excellence, whereby a reality of your great Deen and the noble way of Alllah will be made clear to them, thereby following in the footsteps of your Prophet who was most generous in Ramadhan.
Be people of generosity by displaying noble character traits.
Be people of generosity by giving and spending according to your ability, and by being of benefit to those around you both Muslim and non Muslim. Show them the greatness of this Religion and its generous nature (samaha). Show them the noble character traits it contains, and the uprightness of its path.
Meet the month with reverence and humility because in this month are divine manifestations and superabundant blessings and goodness; He Increases in it the reward of a nafl recommended to the reward of a fardh and the reward of a fardh is multiplied by 70 times. Moreover some narrations have stated that the reward is multiplied to 1000 times. This is the Favour of ALLAH that he Grants to whom He wishes; seize the opportunity of the honourable month.
Take advantage of the fasting in it. Indeed ALLAH is Training us with this fasting so that we may ascend in the meanings of adherence to the commandments, and to ascend in the meanings of our aspirations and resolutions.
The abstaining from the necessities of life during the day, namely eating, drinking and marital relations and everything else that nullifies the fast is a declaration that we are a people of determination, we are not imprisoned nor are we enslaved by our lower selves or desires.
For the Sake of ALLAH we leave our desires and for His Sake we leave all that He has made Forbidden for us, therefore we observe Adab (etiquette) in our fast for Him by being careful with speech so that we do not utter any lie, backbiting nor any harm to anyone of His servants.
O Believers!
It is a blessing, to arrive at this noble month when in it is a night better than a thousand months; no one is denied its blessing save the deprived one.
O Believers!
It is most becoming for us to revise our relationship with the Quran in this month. That which we have already memorized we repeat and contemplate its meanings; if we don’t understand the meaning in Arabic then a translation of these meanings in a language that we know and understand.
O Believers!
It is the month of benevolence, the month of patience and the Reward for patience is Paradise. It is the month of maintaining family relations, it is the month of looking out for ones neighbours’.
O Believers!
The month of seeking forgiveness and asking ALLAH for Jannah, seeking Refuge in Him from the fire, and renewing the pledge with the two testimonies of faith. Our Prophet said, "Perform 4 actions abundantly in Ramadhan, 2 actions are pleasing unto your Lord and 2 you cannot do without. As for those that are pleasing unto your Lord; to testify that there is no God other than ALLAH and seek His Forgiveness (istighfaar). As for the 2 actions that you cannot do without, ask Him for Jannah and seek Refuge from the fire. Therefore it is most becoming of a Believer to repeat in this month "Ash-hadu an laailaha illah ALLAH nastaghfiruLlah nas alukal Jannah wa nauthu bika mina annar."
O Believer!
Break your fast on Halal and delay the suhoor so long as you don’t fall in doubt. Do not delay the Iftar as soon as you are sure of sunset. Uphold the taraweeh prayer every night, it is best 20 raka’as, surely the one who upholds it will have revived the nights of Ramadhan in prayer and you have heard the authentic Hadith, "Whosoever stands the nights of Ramadhan in worship out of faith and anticipation of Reward from ALLAH all his past sins are Forgiven."
ALLAH Forgives in this month and its last night everyone who does not associate partners with ALLAH, all the Muslims; except one who breaks family ties, the disobedient to his parents, the one who consumes intoxicants and the one who holds grudges in his heart against Muslims. So cleanse yourself and your house from that which denies you this Mercy.
Be truthful to your Lord and be joyous at the flowing Generosity from the presence of the All Merciful, Loving, Kind, Most High.
May ALLAH Take by my hand and yours, O Believer, may He Assist you and Guide you to integrity in conduct and Assist you with His enabling Grace to properly take advantage of the nights and days of the month so that you may attain His vast Blessing and Generosity, Most High.
O ALLAH! Bless for us Ramadhan. O ALLAH! Make us from the emancipated, released and protected by You from the fire, in Ramadhan.
O ALLAH! Make us from amongst those who are granted the maximum portion of its goodness. Indeed it has come to us that Your prophet, Peace and Blessings be upon him, his family and his companions, that You Emancipate in every night of the month 600,000 people from the fire, and the last night You Emancipate as many You Emancipated in the whole month.
O ALLAH! Emancipate our necks from the fire and safeguard us from the humiliation of this dunya and the punishment of the Hereafter. Bless for us the nights of Ramadhan and its days and Make us from those who maximise their benefit from the month and grant us Felicity through the recitation of the Quran; upholding the fast on the basis of Taqwa on the basis of Adab, scrupulousness, and an increase in Faith and Fear of You, Love for You and Your Messenger Muhammad sallaALLAHu alaihi wa sallam and love for his family and his companions and all of the righteous of his nation and for all the people of La ilaha illaALLAH. Grant us Your Love and the Love of everyone who is a means to achieve Your Love and Love of a deed that will draw us near to Your Love.
O ALLAH! Deliver us to Ramadhan and Safeguard Ramadhan for us and take it back from us having been accepted.
May ALLAH Send His Blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his companions and all who follow in his path, and Praise be to ALLAH the Lord of the worlds."
