DU'A (PRAYER) IN ANTICIPATION OF RAMADAN




We have to fully prepare ourselves for this blessed month in order to receive the utmost amount of blessings and rewards from Allah SWT.




مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ , وَمَنْ قَامَ لَيْلَةَ القَدْرِ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ


Whoever fasts during Ramadan out of faith and anticipation (of the reward from Allah), his previous sins will be forgiven. And whoever prays in the night of the decree (laylat al-qadr) out of faith and anticipation (of the reward from Allah) his previous sins will be forgiven. [Abu Dawood 1372].


Ramadan is only a few days away. I am so excited about it. We have to fully prepare ourselves for this blessed month in order to receive the utmost amount of blessings and rewards from Allah SWT.


On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), used to say the following when the month of Rajab began.اَللّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِى رَجَبَ وَ شَعْبَانَ وَ بَلِّغْنَا رَمَضَان


Meaning: “Oh Allah! Bless us in Rajab and Sha`ban, and bring us, oh Allah, to Ramadan.”[Narrated by Tabarani and Ahmad].

Further investigations revealed that the same students had previously stolen mechanical clamps from the department in March 2025, which they also planned to sell.
