May Allah ease the gain of good rewards for you all, guide you away from the wrong path, and bless you with wisdom. His mercy is all encompassing so may we be the ones he is merciful towards in this world and the next
Ramadan mubarak to all
If you guys want the thread to be more active in Ramadan maybe we could do an Iftar series - post our meals for the day. Or create a group PM and share daily hadith, ayat, or general pieces of wisdom
If we were to do discussions, it shouldn't be on religious matters because it would devolve into a debate of non-scholars.
And even more so if we did it in an open thread like this

All praise is due to Allah to whose greatness our praises cannot encompass. All the purest praise belongs to Him who encompasses us in his mercy and benevolence and nothing encompasses him and could ever encompass him. All the immaculate praise belongs to him who blessed us with his mercy.
My Brethren,
Ramadan has come knocking on our doors at momentous time, it comes when the year we have spent thus far and what preceded it in headlessness and sins. It is the epitome of reminders that even after all of our transgressions Allah made it sure that we lived long enough to witness this blessing among blessing, quintessence of his رحمة , and an invaluable treasure trove of good. I implore my brethren to capitalize this blessing and embrace it wholly and do not neglect this oppetunity provided on a silver plate by your Lord.
"The month of Ramaḍān [is that] in which was revealed the Qur’ān, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the crescent of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allāh intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allāh for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful"
It is the month where the quran was revealed, it is the month where Jibraeel (upong him is peace ) used to revise the quran with Muhammad ( peace and blessings be upon him)It is the month where the Muhammed (PBUH) became the seal of the prophets for his people and thereafter until the day of Judgement.
The immeasurable importance there is in this month cannot be described.. Every deed, and every intention made in this month will amount to mountains on the scale. So make it count.
This month is month a month of mercy it is the month where the prophet mentions in a Hadith
"The month of Ramadan has come, a blessed month in which Allah Almighty has obligated you to fast. In it the gates of the heavens are opened, the gates of Hellfire are closed, the devils are chained, and in it is a night that is better than a thousand months. Thus, whoever is deprived of its good is truly deprived."
-Musnad Imam Ahmad
It is the month to ask Allah from his bounty.. It is the month where as his slaves we work harder to improve ourselves as humans for his sake.
Allah says in the verse right after the verse of Ramadan
{ وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِی عَنِّی فَإِنِّی قَرِیبٌۖ أُجِیبُ دَعۡوَةَ ٱلدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِۖ فَلۡیَسۡتَجِیبُوا۟ لِی وَلۡیُؤۡمِنُوا۟ بِی لَعَلَّهُمۡ یَرۡشُدُونَ }
[Surah Al-Baqarah: 186]
"And when My servants ask you, [O Muḥammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided."
Don't let this purity that god has destined for you be of naught
As much as this month is an epitome of mercy.. It is a month of forgiveness and abstinence.
I implore you all to hold your tongues from obscenity as ambassador of your faith in this forum save yourself from idle talk and treat people here with kindness like
The prophet (pbuh) in the following narrations about mannerism :
"Yazid ibn Asad reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to me, “O Yazid, love for people what you love for yourself.”
In another narration, the Prophet said, “Do not treat people but in the way you would love to be treated by them.”

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Fasting is a shield as long as you do not damage it.” It was said, “How does one damage it?” The Prophet said, “By dishonesty or backbiting.”

Allah says in the quran :
“Not a word does one utter, except that there is an (angel) Watching, Ready to record it.” [Surah Qaaf: 18]
In another narration the prophet (pbuh) says:
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He who believes in Allah and the Last Day must either speak good or remain silent." [Muslim].
Last but not least but the most important it is to fulfill Allah's rights upon you.
Remind eachother of good and forbid evil.. And fear Allah wherever you are as Allah states in the Quran
"You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allāh. If only the People of the Scripture had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them are believers, but most of them are defiantly disobedient"
And I'll end with this.. To this blessed start of this month
With these verse that we should be a standard for us.. In this month and after.
And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace, And those who spend [part of] the night to their Lord prostrating and standing [in prayer] And those who say, Our Lord, avert from us the punishment of Hell. Indeed, its punishment is ever adhering;Indeed, it is evil as a settlement and residence.And [they are] those who, when they spend, do so not excessively or sparingly but are ever, between that, [justly] moderateAnd those who do not invoke with Allāh another deity or kill the soul which Allāh has forbidden [to be killed], except by right, and do not commit unlawful sexual intercourse. And whoever should do that will meet a penalty.Multiplied for him is the punishment on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein humiliated -Except for those who repent, believe and do righteous work. For them Allāh will replace their evil deeds with good. And ever is Allāh Forgiving and Merciful.And he who repents and does righteousness does indeed turn to Allāh with [accepted] repentance.And [they are] those who do not testify to falsehood, and when they pass near ill speech, they pass by with dignity.And those who, when reminded of the verses of their Lord, do not fall upon them deaf and blind.And those who say, Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us a leader [i.e., example] for the righteous.
Those will be awarded the Chamber for what they patiently endured, and they will be received therein with greetings and [words of] peace,Abiding eternally therein. Good is the settlement and residence.Say, What would my Lord care for you if not for your supplication? For you [disbelievers] have denied, so it [i.e., your denial] is going to be adherent.
Let this be a month of the best of changes within ourselves.. lets not just hope.. our prophets went through the most hardships as the best of the examples.. They moved in their aspirations for god with hope and adherence.. Not just with feelings of change within.
The examples lie before us.. Its is for us to take heed.
With that I end with a core reminder from the quran
And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and in fear without being apparent in speech - in the mornings and the evenings. And do not be among the heedless.
All praise is due to Allah to whose greatness our praises cannot encompass. All the purest praise belongs to Him who encompasses us in his mercy and benevolence and nothing encompasses him and could ever encompass him. All the immaculate praise belongs to him who blessed us with his mercy.

Shiehk Uthaymeen... May Allah have mercy on his soul... The 🐐
He was known for his adherence to the sunnah اللهم بارك له it is a must recommend anyone who wants scholarly opinions and reminders
I will be reading this, may Allah give every word i read as a reward to you bro
In return I want to share this on the topic of Taqwa its a 2 minute video of a person who needs no introduciton as he was a peer to Shk Ibn Uthaymeen RA.
Taqwa is the goal for this month like Allah states in the quran
As a reminder of what Taqwa is ; Taqwa is fear of god and being righteous. In others words, being righteous and holding oneself accountable through being conscious of Allah which aids your actions, The way shiekh explains Taqwa.. Is probably the best way anyone has defined its benefits and what results in having Taqwa that my ignorant self has come across.. He keeps it concise.. But its just extravagant soo bountiful how concise and beautiful the way he explains it in

May Allah bless you in bounty and everyone here too. Taqwa is the key to knowledge, spreading anything helpful will never make you less. Taqwa is the higher purpose and one of my favourite saying from Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen رَحِمَهُ ٱللَّٰهُ is “if the heart has taqwa, the limbs must have taqwa” and the sheikh in that video encompasses the person who does. May Allah always make us one of them. Let us all make the most of Ramadan as a community

Agreed
I failed my drivers test recently so i will increase my focus and attention span by reading Quran inshaallah. Increasing your taqwa is very useful in your daily life as well.

Always keeps conscious of Allahs presence with you, that’s taqwa too. When I was doing my uni exams I was keeping that hope with me, letting my self know Allah is with me. And alhamdulillah I reaped the rewards. May the same happen to you brother

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The five daily prayers, Jumuʿah to Jumuʿah, and Ramaḍān to Ramaḍān expiate for (the sins perpetrated) in between them, so long as one stays away from the major sins.” (Muslim 233c)
“Whoever’s Jumuʿah is safe from evil, his week will be safe from evil. Whoever’s Ramaḍān is safe from evil, his year will be safe from evil. Whoever’s ḥajj is safe from evil, his life will be safe from evil.” (Ibn al-Qayyim)
