AFTER THE PRAYER:

Meet and Greet your family and friends Make dua for you brothers and sisters who might be less fortunate. Make dua for those who have left the world. Send Peace and blessings on Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him).

Ayyub (Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah
(blessings and peace be upon him, his family, and companions) said:
“Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days from Shawwal it is as if they fasted the entire year.”
[Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah; Ahmad transmitted it from Jabir, Muntaqa]

Thawban (Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of
Allah (blessings and peace be upon him, his family, and companions) said,

“Whoever fasts Ramadan, and then six days after Eid, it is [like
fasting] an entire year. Whoever does a good deed shall have ten times
its reward.”
[Ibn Majah, Muntaqa]

Ibn Hazam’s The Ring of the Dove

Love from the past Ibn Hazam’s contribution to love, the book is full of rich poetry, heart elavating poems and his personal discousers. Enjoy. IBN HAZAM’s THE RING OF THE DOVE

Picture from here…

They blame the girl of whom I’m fond Because her lovely hair is blond: “But that’s exactly”, I reply, “What makes her pretty, to my eye!” They criticize the colour bright Of glittering gold, and shimmering light, And they are crazy so to do, And stupid, and erroneous, too. Is there just a cause to crab, think you, The tender-sweet narcissus’ hue, Or is the twinkle of a star So hateful to behold afar? Of all God’s creatures, I declare That man of wisdom has least share Who chooses, in his darkened soul, To love a body black as coal. Black is the hue, the Scriptures tell, Of the inhabitants of Hell; Black is the robe the mourner dons, And mothers who have lost their sons. Moreover, since from Khorasan The black Abbasid banners ran, The souls of men know, to their cost, The cause of righteousness is lost. IBN HAZAM’s THE RING OF THE DOVE
