A message copied from my fb inbox =D

Assallamu aliakum.

I wanted to share this small reminder shared by Br. Irshaad (Who runs a beautiful group on facebook, called; "Hadiths and Lectures" -- always sends out timely reminders, mashaAllah.) The shaykh mentionshed as reference is one outstanding scholar in our midst (google him for his talks/works)

-----------

Rasullulah pbuh said, “The dua of a fasting person is not rejected” (Bayhaqi).

He also stated, "The dua of a fasting person at the time of Iftaar is accepted.” (Abu Dawood).

Rasullulah pbuh said, “Do 4 things abundantly. 2 to please your lord, and two you need for yourselves.

Things to please your lord:

1. Say La illaha ill Allah abundantly
2. Do Istigfar (seek repentance)

Things you need for yourself:

1. Ask Allah for Jannah
2. Ask Allah to protect you from Janhannam

Many individuals see no benefit in asking for the protection from Jahannam if they already ask for Jannah. It is our aqeeda and belief that an individual may have to spend time in Jahannam in order to be purified from his sins so he may enter Jannah. Jannah is pure and only the pure are allowed enter.

There is a Hadith narrated by Rajab al-Hambali's in Lata'if al-Ma'arif, : A person who does dhikr during Ramadan is forgiven. And a person, who asks Allah Swt in Ramadan, will not fail [Allah will give him what he wants]." Therefore do as much dhikr as one can.
