Shaykh Salih bin Fawzan Al-Fawzan -may Allah preserve him- said:
“A fasting person would be fasting and have severe hunger, thirst and tiredness, while having no reward with Allah, due to the following reasons:
▪️His tongue utters speech which is haram (forbidden).
▪️His eyes gaze at that which is haram.
▪️His ears listen to that which is haram.
Then in reality this is not fasting, rather he merely left off food.”
📚 [Majalis Shahr Ramadhan 1/15]

*Feeding people in Ramadan is very good. But feeding your wife, Mum, Dad, sisters and brothers snd other relatives, especially those you shoulder their responsibilities, is more rewarding and in fact, an obligation.*
*Priotise your relatives first in your charity. Whatever is left can go out.*
*Please before you start donating for Ramadan feeding project, help your poor family members and neighbors.*
*You know some people are very good at show-off when it comes to that, they want public validation not minding the important thing which is FAMILY.*
- *As the saying goes *CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME" ✅*

ON YOUR FIRST NIGHT OF RAMADAN
Umar’s (RaḍiyAllāhu ʿanhu) Instructions on the First Night of Ramadan
It is reported that on the first night of Ramadân, ‘Umar – Allâh be pleased with him – would pray Maghrib, then say (to the people):
Sit down — Then he would give a small address — Verily the fasting of this month has been made a duty upon you, and standing in night prayer has not been made a duty upon you, but those amongst you who can stand in prayer should do so, for it is from the extra good deeds about which Allâh told us: so whoever cannot stand in prayer, let him sleep on his bed.
And beware of saying: I will fast if so and so fasts and I will stand in night prayer if so and so stands in prayer. Whoever fasts or stands in night prayer, he must make this for Allâh. And you should know that you are in prayer as long as you are waiting for a prayer.
Minimize any vain or false speech in the houses of Allâh (masaajid; he said this two or three times). Let none of you fast a few days before the month (in order to avoid missing the beginning of the month; he said this three times). And do not fast until you see [the crescent of the new month] unless it is overcast. If it is overcast, count [the previous month] as 30 days. Then do not break your fasts until you see the night upon the mountain (i.e. you are sure the sun has set).

*Be FIRM, and DO NOT change*
Shāykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-Uthaimeen [رحمه الله]
“Be FIRM, and DO NOT change (your stance) because of the large number of attacks on you nor due to (their) being offended by your words. As long as you are upon the TRUTH then be firm, for truth is never budged (by falsehood). Thereafter, defend (the truth) if you are in a weak position. There is nothing lesser than defending (the truth). But if you are in a strong position, then upon you is to attack (the falsehood). For the days take turns (sometimes in your favor and sometimes otherwise).
But (remember) the most important thing is that even if you are in a weaker position, then you should remain firm. And never say: ‘Oh, all the people are in opposition to this.’ Rather, be firm, for Allaah سُبحانه وتعالى aids His Deen, His Book, His Messenger throughout the ages.
No doubt that you will face harm (from the people). Here is Imaam Ahmadرحمه الله , he was dragged by a mule in the market and was whipped. But he was patiently firm.
And here is Shāykh-ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [رحمه الله] , who was driven around in the market on a cart and was thrown in the prison, but he remained firm.
It is not possible that the earth will always be a carpet of roses and flowers for a person who clings to the Sunnah (for he will face opposition and will be harmed by the people).”
[Sharh al-Nooniyyah of Ibnul Qayyim by Shāykh Ibn al-`Uthaimeen (3/270)]

REMINDER:
As always people will increase in their good deeds for Ramadhān
Some may start praying, or attending the masjid, or start wearing hijab, or quit music, or stop watching haraam, etc…
However, the fact you can do this for a whole month is proof that you have enough time to pray Salah, and the masjid is not too far away, and hijāb is not too hard, and that you can lower your gaze.
So remember that the purpose of Ramadhān is not for you to obey Allāh for a month, then go back to your old habits. Rather Allāh is to be worshipped all year round with sincerity.
As Ka’ab رحمه الله said, Whoever fasts Ramadhān while telling himself that after breaking the fasting of Ramadhān he will return to disobedience to his Lord, his fasting is rejected of him.

ADVICES FOR RAMADHAN.
Don’t get hangry
When you’re tired, hungry and hot, it’s easy to get frustrated at friends, family and colleagues. However, when we fast we also be mindful of our behaviour. We must hold our tongue, lower our gaze and ensure that our behaviour is “in check”. So when something is testing your patience, stop, breathe, pause and stay calm. You may be hungry, but try at all costs to not get hangry. After all, the reward is with Allah (SWT)!
Connect with others
If you’ve fallen out with a friend or not talked to a family member in a while, then Ramadan is a great chance for a fresh start. Build broken bonds, reach out to loved ones, ask for forgiveness and spend time with family and friends this month. You’ll feel a great relief and you’ll be healing the hurt of others at the same time.
Remember the reasons
Ramadan is a blessed time of spiritual renewal, reflection and bonding with not only Allah (SWT) but also our family, friends and wider community. It’s also not easy – but that’s where the reward lies! So whenever you’re feeling tired, hungry, thirsty or even low, remember why you’re fasting – for the love of Allah (SWT). SubhanAllah!
So, with these ten top tips, you should be fully prepared for a blessed month ahead, ready to face any challenge you may face and able to make the most of these precious, sacred weeks. From everyone at Islamic Relief, we’d therefore like to wish you and your family a productive, happy and healthy Ramadan.

Loving and hating for the sake of Allah is one of the essential components of Laa-illaha-ill-Allah.
As a Muslim, you must have total loyalty to Allah and total rejection of all that Allah hates! If you do not have this then something is seriously wrong with your Imaan!
Al-wala’ wal-bara’ is from Imaan in Allah and His Messenger!
Belief in Allah necessitates love for His sake, hate for His sake, and making friends and enemies for His sake…
Only the People of Emaan, those who know what Emaan is will understand the concept of Al-Walaa
لاَ تَجِدُ قَوْما ً يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ يُوَادُّونَ مَنْ حَادَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَوْ كَانُوا آبَاءَهُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ أَوْ إِخْوَانَهُمْ أَوْ عَشِيرَتَهُمْ ۚ أُوْلَائِكَ كَتَبَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الإِيمَانَ وَأَيَّدَهُمْ بِرُوحٍ مِنْهُ ۖ وَيُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ ۚ أُوْلَائِكَ حِزْبُ اللَّهِ ۚ أَلاَ إِنَّ حِزْبَ اللَّهِ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ
Allah said: You will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even though they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred. For such He has written faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with Ruh from Himself. And He will admit them to Gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein (forever). Allah is well pleased with them, and they are well pleased with Him. They are the party of Allah. Verily, the party of Allah will be the successful.

Tremendous Reminder
Ash-Shaykh Al-Mufassir Al-‘Allāmah 'Abdur-Raḥmān As-Si'dī رحمه الله said:
And beware of feeling regret over past affairs which were not decreed for you, or loss of health, wealth, a job and the likes. Let your focus and concern be rectifying the actions of the day you are in; for indeed a person is the offspring of their day - they do not greive over the past, nor do they look distantly in to the future where it is of no benefit to them.
And be truthful, fulfill your oaths and promises and be just in all of your dealings. Give people their rights in full and in abundance. Do so, with a soul at peace and an īmān (faith) that is truthful and sincere.
And busy yourself with your own shortcomings and your own affairs above the shortcomings and affairs of others.
And deal with every individual person according to what is appropriate for their mental state; whether young or old, male or female, the ruling class or the ruled.
Be gentle and merciful with every individual - even the wild or domesticated animals. Verily Allāh is Merciful only to His Slaves who show mercy.
Strive constantly in all your endeavors and affairs. Keep your mind open to any and every benefit - whether religious or worldly.
