10 DEEDS THAT TAKE US CLOSER TO ALLAH AZZAWAJAL

In the Name of Allaah, the All-Merciful, may His Salaah and Salaam be upon His final Messenger to all mankind, and upon his companions and family members, and all those who follow his path until the Day of Judgement.

1) RECITING THE QUR’AN AND PONDERING OVER ITS MEANING:

Allah Azzawajal says in the Qur’an, Surah Muhammad 47:24

أَفَلاَ يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْءَانَ أَمْ عَلَى قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَآ
“Will they not then reflect upon the Qur'an, or are there locks upon their hearts.”

2) DOING MORE OF SUNNAH AND NAWAFIL ACTS OF WORSHIP: like:

¯Umrah

¯Fasting Mondays and Thursdays

¯Fasting the day of Arafah

¯Fasting the two days of Muharram

¯Giving Sadaqah - it cools Allah’s anger

3) DHIKR:

Allah says in Surah Ahzaab 33:35

وَالذَكِـرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيراً وَالذَكِرَتِ أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةً وَأَجْراً عَظِيماً

“……the men and the women who remember Allah much with their hearts and tongues, Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great reward.”

Allah says in Surah Ahzaab 33:41, 42

يأَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ اذْكُرُواْ اللَّهَ ذِكْراً كَثِيراً - وَسَبِّحُوهُ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلاً

41. O you who believe! Remember Allah with much remembrance.

42. And glorify His praises morning and Asila.

Allah Azzawajal praised Yunus (AS) as he was of those who praised Allah. Allah says in Surah Saffaat 37:143,144

فَلَوْلاَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُسَبِّحِينَ - لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

143. Had he not been of them who glorify Allah,144. He would have indeed remained inside its belly (the fish) till the Day of Resurrection.

4) STAYING AWAY FROM BAD DESIRES:

Allah Azzawajal says in Surah Jathiya 45:23

أَفَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَـهَهُ هَوَاهُ

“Have you seen him who takes his own lust as his god…”

5) KNOWING ALLAH AZZAWAJAL THROUGH HIS NAMES AND ATTRIBUTES:

وَللَّهِ الأَسْمَآءُ الْحُسْنَى فَادْعُوهُ بِهَا
“And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah, so call on Him by them.”

6) THANKING ALLAH FOR THE BLESSINGS AND ACKNOWLEDGING THEM:

Allah says in Surah Ibrahim 14:7

وَإِذْ تَأَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَئِن شَكَرْتُمْ لأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ وَلَئِن كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذَابِى لَشَدِيدٌ

And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed: "If you give thanks, I will give you more; but if you are thankless, verily, My punishment is indeed severe.''

Allah says in Surah Saba 34:13

اعْمَلُواْ ءَالَ دَاوُودَ شُكْراً وَقَلِيلٌ مِّنْ عِبَادِىَ الشَّكُورُ

"Work you, O family of Dawud, with thanks!'' But few of My servants are grateful”.

7) SHOWING HUMILITY AND HUMBLENESS IN FRONT OF ALLAH

“Whoever humbles himself for the sake of Allah, Allah raises him.”

8) PRAYING QIYAM UL LAYL:

Allah says in Surah Muzammil 73:1-6

يأَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّلُ - قُمِ الَّيْلَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً - نِّصْفَهُ أَوِ انقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلاً - أَوْ زِدْ عَلَيْهِ وَرَتِّلِ الْقُرْءَانَ تَرْتِيلاً - إِنَّا سَنُلْقِى عَلَيْكَ قَوْلاً ثَقِيلاً - إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ الَّيْلِ هِىَ أَشَدُّ وَطْأً وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلاً

1. O you wrapped up! 2. Stand (to pray) all night, except a little. 3. Half of it or less than that, a little. 4. Or a little more. And Rattil the Qur'an Tartil. 5. Verily, We shall send down to you a Word Thaqil. 6. Verily, rising (Nashi'ah) at night is better for understanding and more suitable for speech (recitation).

    9) BEING IN THE COMPANY OF GOOD PEOPLE:

Allah says in Surah Zukhruf 43:67

الاٌّخِلاَءُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلاَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ

“Friends on that Day will be foes one to another except those who have Taqwa.”

10) STAYING AWAY FROM EVERYTHING THAT TAKES ONE AWAY FROM ALLAH AZZAWAJAL

Successful Completion of Term II, Alhamdulillah

End of Term II of the Summer Camp.

It all started, as usual with the recitation of Surah and a talk by our head teacher. Then, we had the Qiraat Competion with three partcipants each from As-Sama who recited Surah Ghashiyah, An-Najm who recited Surah , Al-Qamar who recited Surah Fajr and Ash-Shams who recited Surah 3Abasa.

After this, we had a skit under the superb guidance of the teachers and assistants, by our youngest class As-Sama on the Usefulness of Trees. The message was clear! A Muslim takes care of his environment for this earth like everything else is a blessing and gift from his creator Allah Subhan wa Ta3ala and this was clearly elaborated on through the hadeeth.

We had another talk by our head teacher on the topic Wealth and Wife- Fitnah? She discussed how blessings bestowed upon us by Allah can be a test.It was a very useful reminder indeed.

Or concluding program was the Quiz Competition with four teams each comprising of two member each from Al-Qamar and Ash-Shams. This time we started off with the rapidfire round, with Guess the Qaari and General Awareness. This time the points were kept secret till the end of the program. Finally Team 'Umar came out the winners followed by Team 'Ali, then Team AbuBakr and Team Uthman.

The performances were over and goody-bags were distributed but it wasn't the end of the celebration. There was a guest and he arrived right after 'Asr. He gave a very good talk on the Importance of attaining 'Ilm(knowledge). He also stressed how important it was to grab any opportunity to seek knowledge and a good 3 weeks were also not bad for a start or a refresher elaborating how women were at the forefront of scholarship in the early years of Islamic History and how it benefited the Ummah. 

Many thanks again to all the TaalibAl-Ilm ( students of knowledge) and the staff, teachers and assistants for their contribution. JazakumAllahuKhayran. May Allah accept this from us. Ameen.

Our Term I was a success, Alhamdulillah

End of Term I of the Summer Camp.

The childtren  and teachers were present full swing. Parents and family, too. Guests started pouring in  and soon the huge halls with ...seating was full.
We were celebrating the successful completion of the first Term of the Summer Camp at our main branch at Cockburn Road and at BTM layout..
We started with the recitation of Surah from the Qur'an by our head teacher followed by a talk.
The first performances were by the BTM team.
It included all that we had learnt.....
Next we had another talk by our head teacher.
It was time for the Cockburn Road branch now.
We started with the Qirat Competition.
As-Sama kids recited Surah Al A3la.
An-Najm recited Surah Al A3la as well.
Girls from Al-Qamar recited An Naziaat and those from Ash-Shams recited Surah Naba.
The three Ns of Darul Ayman were the judges!

This was followed by the Quiz. We had four teams of 4 participants each.
Team Maryam, Team Fatima, Team Asiyah and Team Khadija. We had 3 rounds. All four teams tied at the end of round 1. Team Asiyah and Khadijah took the lead at the end of the 2nd round but Team Khadija won by 10 points in the end. All the teams were happy to have participated.

.Our skit was the next up in line. Sh., the narrator, Ay. as the ghafil(lost in the things of this world while forgetting the hereafter) Jameela aapa and Am. as Chand khala and ..as Khadeeja begum brought the sad reality of those who have turned their backs to the word of Allah and taken the materials  of this world as their only goal to light by their comic performances supported by Ha.and the other sisters...

The audience was throroughly entertained while gaining knowledge by these programs as well as the not so trivial trivia of our teacher.
 After another talk by her, we concluded by announcing the winners of the Qirat competition and distributing goody bags.


In a nutshell, we are truly grateful to Allah Subhanu wa Ta'aala for making it a success . through the

• Fantastic effort by the teachers- The whole team, together with the assistants and the volunteers. They worked really hard and it showed.
• The enthusiasm and perseverence of the students. The cute As-Sama or preteens of An-Najm, the very young ladies of Al-Qamar or the leaders(Ummis) in the making of Ash Shams put in their very best! The lesson learnt by Jameela begum was learnt by the whole set of the audience.
• The absolutely supportive parents- who spent their time being part of the effort by being there for not just the celebrations but the classes as well!
