The last ten days of the month of Ramadhan. Having completed 20 days of fastings in the month of Ramadhan, a believer feels a sense of achievement towards the attainment of God’s pleasure and therefore wishes to complete the remaining ten days with greater vigour and enthusiasm. It is reported that the Holy Prophet used to tighten his girdle, keep awake for most of the night for prayers and exhort his family to do the same during the last ten days of Ramadhan. Ayesha further reported that every year till the time of his death, the Holy Prophet used to go into retreat into the mosque during these ten days and nights of Ramadhan, and the same practice was continued by his wives after his demise. This retreat starts after the morning prayers on the 20th of Ramadhan. It is permissible for a person observing this seclusion to go out of the mosque for Friday prayers or for personal hygienic matters. It is reported that the Holy Prophet, while walking outside the mosque, used to enquire about a person’s health without stopping.
Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, went into retreat for ten days in the month of Ramadhan but in the year in which he died he went into retreat for twenty days. (Bukbari).
This period of retreat of the last ten days of Ramadhan is known as ‘Itikaf‘ and is devoted to silent meditation, recitation or study of religious books, prayers and supplication. This short burst of meditation and ‘soul-searching’ is much better than the prolonged exposure to the physical exercise of yoga and transcendental meditation which has become all the rage inl the west. During itikaf sex is totally forbidden even at night.

Great one
May Allah accepts our prayers in this holy month of Ramadan
We all Muslim are in the wrong PATH of Islam. If not in wrong path of Islam, Muslim countries must live in peace, happiness and Prosperity.
In reality, most Muslim countries live in conflict and poverty.
ALLAH HAS REMINDED MUSLIM
Q.7:96 —If the people of the towns had but believed and feared Allah, We should indeed have opened out to them (all kinds of) blessings from heaven and earth; but they rejected (the truth) and We brought them to book for their misdeeds. Did the people of the towns feel secure against the coming of our wrath by night while they were asleep? (97) Or else did they feel secure against its coming in broad daylight while they played about (carefree)? (98) Did they then fell secure against the plan of Allah? but no one can feel secure from the plan of Allah, except those (doomed) to ruin! (99) To those who inherit the earth in succession to its (previous) possessors, is it not a guiding (lesson) that if We so willed, We could punish them (too) for their sins, and seal up their hearts so that they could not hear?
Rafiq— this is what is happening in Islamic world today.
Allah’s saying is a true indeed.
Rafiq— so we all Muslim are in the wrong path of the true Islam. We need to correct it. Yes Ahmadiyyah has been trying to correct it, but NOT ENOUGH YET. We need more to correct it.
All love ❤️
As Allah has appointed the Imam of this age, The Promised Messiah and Imam Mahdi, Allah will bless those who follow him, and His Khalifas. See http://www.alislam.org and watch http://www.mta.tv !
Why Wasn’t I Invited to the White House?
U.S. President Donald Trump held his first Iftar dinner at the White House last week. Iftar is the traditional meal that breaks the day-long fast that Muslims observe during the Islamic month of Ramadan.
Although the list of the 40 Muslims who were invited was not disclosed, we do know some those invited as well as those excluded. In attendance were ambassadors from Muslim countries. Excluded were members of Muslim Brotherhood-linked Islamist groups, including the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA).
Trump’s choice of attendees stands in sharp contrast to former President Obama, who invited these groups and their radical leaders into the White House. Not only did his administration have a history of empowering American Islamists (giving them a hand in rewriting military and intelligence training protocols and purging existing counterterrorism materials that made the connection between Islamism and terror), the Obama administration empowered the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood across the Muslim world.
I believe Ahmadiyyah was invited by White House. Of course Ahmadiyyah promote a peaceful Islam.
It is just for Info
All love ❤️
Please Rafiq. Do not erase or delate it. Thank you
FROM PROGRESSIVE MUSLIM VIEW ABOUT ITIKAFAND TARAWEEH:
Please forgive me for my comment that opposite to most Islamic clerics around the world. But I have the duty to tell the truth base on God words:
Quote: ‘Itikaf – The last ten days of the month of Ramadan—
My comment.
There is no a study that those who does “ ITIKAF make your LIFE will change to be better—?
What is about you TMT readers, how many times you have been doing Itikaf in Mosque? And does your life be better than before? Tell and share with us here your life be better after doing itikaf.
Do you get what we call something from God in the last 10 day if Ramadhan?
THIS IS MY THOUGH ABOT ITIKAF
Actually Gos sent His law in Ramadhan month to Prophet. It means that is blessing for mankind. People has the true Guidance from Creator.
It does not mean that this Ramadhan is better than other month. All days, months and years are the SAME.. that cannot change people life.
What make people life will be better if people follow His laws rightly, completely and never worship IDOL teaching than His teaching alone.
Therefore, month itself cannot change people life, but His teaching can make people life be better.
My point is NOT to stay at mosque and pray to Allah many times— many times. Allah do not need your repetition of prayer or Dua— what Allah want you to do good deeds and love all people as Allah love you unconditionally.
But if you still hate your friends, other belief you are a big liar as God said.
Allah know what ever you think, what ever your aim. You do not need to pray many times to Allah, as if Allah does know what you say.
A REMINDER FROM ALLAH.
1. If you obey the majority of people on earth, they will divert you from the path of God. They follow only conjecture; they only guess. QS.6:116.
2. I suppose that most Muslim around the world carry out Shalat Taraweeh and ITIKAF every Ramadhan’s month. They follow and believe in their IDOLS or the book of Hadist. Whereas Allah and Prophet never command Muslim to do shalat taraweeh. There is no ONE verse that Allah and Prophet command Muslim to carry out Shalat Taraweeh. and Itikaf .
3. GOD REMIND PEOPLE: do not pray in Mosque many times.
Teaching about Prayer.(Matthew.6.5-14)
When you pray, go to your room, close the door and pray to God, who is unseen. And your God who sees what you do in private, will reward you. When you pray do not use a lot of meaningless words, as the pagans do, who think that God will hear them because their prayer are long. Do not be like them. Your God already knows what you need before you ask him
4. DO NOT STAY LONG AT CHURCH OR MOSQUE
You fool, Do you want to be shown that faith without works is dead or useless.James 2:20,
This wisdom is found in Al Quran
And when the Prayer is finished, then may ye disperse through the land, and seek of the Bounty of Allah: and celebrate the Praises of Allah often (and without stint): that ye may prosper. (Q.62:10)
They spend most their time to seek God by praying many times at mosque. They neglect or ignore to worldly activity, or to strengthen their economy and create jobs for community. In order people can live in peace, happiness and prosperity.
MY CONCLUSION
I urge Muslim please follow Allah commandment alone, avoid to follow NOT Allah’s law. Or avoid to follow idol Hadith in order Allah bless Muslim with peace, happiness and prosperity.
May Allah guide us all Muslim to the true path of Islam, Amen
I wish you all a blessed and happy Ramadhan
All love ❤️
Somi is alone in his interpretation that you should not pray at the mosque. The rest of us believe that a combination of prayers at the mosque in congregation and prayers alone is needed. And, yes, of course it helps and affects us and we try to be better persons. Many Muslims are misguided, yes, and that is because they do not follow the Imam of this time. A regular reader like Somi should know by now.
We as Muslim pray to Allah to many rakaat and many times as if Allah do not listen— whereas Allah do not like Muslim pray more than Allah commanded it.
If we see Moses’s followers and Jesus follower ( Christian) less than Muslim. Therefore Allah warned Prophet Muhamnad pbuh as following:
You fool, Do you want to be shown that faith without works is dead or useless.James 2:20,
This wisdom is found in Al Quran
And when the Prayer is finished, then may ye disperse through the land, and seek of the Bounty of Allah: and celebrate the Praises of Allah often (and without stint): that ye may prosper. (Q.62:10)
Why do Muslim do not follow these reminder from Allah?
Why do Muslim follow the ancient scholars? I cannot believe it!
That is why Rafiq—,because Muslim pray to many and less work— Muslim live in poverty or unproductive compare to non Muslim who less pray and strive to strengthen economy in order Muslim can live in prosperity.
What is happen in Jordan, young Muslim often protest their Government they need job to live and to rise their kids etc.
Why Muslim live in poverty because Islamic scholars or clerics teach Muslim with wrong Islam. We should blame clerics or scholars.
Hopefully Ahmadiyyah do not make Muslim become a unproductive hands.
Look at Jews who live in tiny State in desert— they can produce so many fruits and vegetable etc. they export to Arab nations woow. Watch this video as proof for my comment.
ISRAEL AGRICULTURE TECHNOLOGY—AMAZING FARMER. GOD BLESS ISRAEL AND JEWS PEOPLE.
