*SIGHTING THE NEW MOON OF 'RAMADAAN' IS FARD KIFAAYAH* !{'QUR`AN /DUA~REVIVING A 'SUNNAH' OF PROPHET~ (SallAllahu `Alayhi Wasallam).

'Bismillah  Walhamdulillah Was  Salaatu  Was

Salaam`ala  Rasulillah'

'As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatahu'

*Sighting the New Moon of Ramadaan is Fardh  Kifaayah{!}*

It is Obligatory to witness the new moon for

establishing certain acts of worship...

If these acts are obligatory,

such as Fasting~'Ramadaan' & 'Hajj'...

then witnessing the New Moon also becomes

obligatory on the Muslim 'Ummah'~

{Fard Kifaayah.}

That is because ...

“ what is necessary to fulfill the  requirements of an

obligation is an obligation itself. ”

The 'Sunnah' 'Du`a' upon seeing the New Moon...

The Prophet (SallAllahu `Alayhi Wasallam)

taught us the 'Dua' to read when we see the new moon.

So make an effort to sight the 'Ramadhan' Moon with

full attention and eagerness and say this 'Du`a'

on sighting the new moon...{!}

{ In Shaa Allah }

Allaahu 'Akbar, Allaahumma `ahillahu `alayna bil`amni

wal'eemaani, wassalaamati wal-`Islaami, wattawfeeqi

limaa tuhibbu Rabbanaa wa tardhaa,

Rabbunaa  wa  Rabbukallaahu .

Allaah is the Greatest. O Allaah, let the crescent loom

above us in safety, faith, peace, and Islaam, and in

agreement with all that You love and pleases You.

Our Lord and your Lord is Allaah.”

A  Neglected  'Sunnah' ?

It is a part of the beauty of Islam anticipating when

Tr:Fasting  will start. When will 'Eid' be ?

This builds up the excitement and love of

these blessed times.

And there is deepest wisdom in how

Allah {Subhaanahu wa Taala} ordained these issues.

This was the way of the Prophet

(SallAllahu `Alayhi Wasallam),

the 'Sahaabah', and the Early generations,

including the Four Imams.

Yet, it is sad to see many Muslims getting lost in the fast

track world of machines and calculations and

neglecting this act of 'Sunnah'!

...thus losing out on the chance to earn reward from their  Rabb for following

the Prophet (SallAllahu `Alayhi Wasallam) and his guidance...{!}

PLEASE  REVIVE  THE  'SUNNAH' {!}

So work hard to revive the 'Sunnah' of the Prophet

(SallAllahu `Alayhi Wasallam) and Please don’t belittle it.

Practice it yourself, teach it to your children and others.

Reviving aspects of the 'Sunnah' that are being forgotten is one of the most

important charitable deeds that a person can do during his lifetime

and is a deed that will bring an  immense reward...{!}

'Whoever revives an aspect of my 'Sunnah' that is

forgotten after my death, he will have a reward equivalent

to that of the people who follow him, without it detracting

in the least from their reward.'

PROPHET (SallAllahu `Alayhi Wasallam) also said...

‘Pay attention to my 'Sunnah' and the way of the Rightly guided Khaleefahs

after me, adhere to it and hold fast to it.’

{ Source:  Saheeh Abi Dawud }

“And he who brings the Truth and he who confirms and

supports it ... such are the men who do right.

They shall have all that they wish for,

with their Rabb.

Such is the reward of those who do good:

so that Allah will remit from them (even) the worst of their  deeds and

give them their reward according to the best of  what they have done.”

"Never  Despair  Of  The  Mercy  Of  Allah"

"I Want to Die With my Forehead on the Ground,

The Sunnah in my Heart, Allah on my Mind,
Qur'an on my Tongue, and Tears in my Eyes!"

Son of Adam! You are nothing but a number of days, whenever

Each day passes then part of you has gone!
