MCA Board’s CornerExecutive Board (EB) ReportMay 24, 2019

Assalamu ‘alaikum

Our first fundraiser of this Ramadan was held on Friday, May 17. A total of approximately $380K was raised. There will be one more fundraiser later in the month inshaAllah.

Qiyam began from Tuesday, May 21. For the first few nights, qiyam begins at 3:00 am. Starting Saturday, May 25 qiyam will begin at 2:45 am. During qiyam hours only doors 14, 16 and 19 will be open. As per our tradition, suhoor is being served after qiyam.

I’tekaf this year begins Saturday May 25 evening. Those who are assigned locations for I’tekaf can bring their belongings into the masjid after Asr on May 25. Registration forms were made available beginning Monday May 21. Location assignments will be published on May 24, Friday after maghrib. The annual Eid bazaar will be held on Saturday May 25 from 11 am till 4 pm. There will more than 70 booths inshaAllah.

Executive Board meetings during Ramadan are brief-er. Two salient decisions were taken in the meeting past week.

First, the board resolved that the MCA stock account (where stock donations are received) shall be acces-sible to the Treasurer of the EB, the Treasurer of the BOT and the Account Manager. This is necessary for prompt processing of the donations and acknowl-edgment to donors.

Second, we estimated that about $115K will be received in fitra this year from our community. Based on this estimate the board resolved to disburse this amount among various organizations in advance so that the fitra reaches recipients ahead of Eid.

Allah subḥānahu wa ta’āla (glorified and exalted be He) says in the Qur’an: The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter. Peace it is until the emergence of dawn. [Qur’an: 97:3-5]

The blessed Laylatul Qadr can be found in any of the last 10 nights of Ramadan, which are the most blessed nights of the year. As such, we should increase our worship and devotion during this period.

Aisha raḍyAllāhu ‘anha (may Allāh be pleased with her) reported: With the start of the last ten days of Ramadan, the Prophet ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) used to tighten his waist belt (i.e. work harder) and used to pray the whole night, and used to keep his family awake for the prayers. [Bukhari]

Abu Hurayrah raḍyAllāhu ‘anhu (may Allāh be pleased with him) relates that the Prophet ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said: “Whoever stands (in the voluntary night prayer of) Ramadan out of faith and in the hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven. And whoever spends the night of Lailat Al-Qadr in prayer out of faith and in the hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.” [Sunan an-Nasa’i]

Subhan Allah! Such immense rewards are to be gained during these blessed 10 nights. How can we afford to miss out on them? Who is to say that we will live to see the next Ramadan? We MUST make the best of these 10 nights. If we cannot manage all of the 10 nights, then as many as we can manage, particularly on the odd-numbered nights: 21st, 25th, 27th and 29th.

There is a saying that a person who fails to plan, plans to fail. So I have created a Worship Plan that we can use to maximise these blessed 10 nights of Ramadan. But first, there are a few points to consder:

10 Points to Consider in the Worship PlanRemain in I’tikaf: The best way of catching the blessed night is to remain in I’tikaf, which both men and women can do. If it is not possible for one to remain in I’tikaf for the whole of the 10 days and nights, then one should try to remain in I’tikaf for as many days and nights possible. It is also possible to make intention of Nawafil I’tikaf each and every time one enters the masjid to gain rewards for the time spent in the masjid.

Worship all the 10 nights: Try to worship the whole of the 10 nights or as many days you can manage as that is the best way to catch the unimaginable and incomprehensible rewards of Laylatul Qadr. Each and every good deed from Maghrib until Fajr on Laylatul Qadr is rewarded a minimum of at least 83 years’ of worship. Subhan Allah, that is longer than most of us will live!

Best dua of the last 10 nights:

Aisha raḍyAllāhu ‘anha (may Allāh be pleased with her) reported: I asked: “O Messenger of Allah! If I realize Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree), what should I supplicate in it?” He ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) replied, “You should supplicate: Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun, tuhibbul-‘afwa, fa’fu ‘anni (O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness; so forgive me).” [At-Tirmidhi].

Give charity: Any good act such as charity during Laylatul Qadr is rewarded like you have done it for over 83 years.

Eat light: As you will be staying up until Fajr, the more you eat, the harder it will be for you to stay up and the less productive you will be!

Hydrate well: Keep some water with you at all times. This will help you stay up, feel energised and refreshed and have a clearer mind.

Complete all tasks beforehand: Make arrangements to clear as many of your pending tasks as possible or make a plan for tackling them later. This way, we are free to worship during the 10 nights without being distracted by worldly tasks.

Show exemplary character: The Prophet ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said: “Nothing will be heavier on the Day of Resurrection in the Scale of the believer than good manners. Allah hates one who utters foul or coarse language.” [At- Tirmidhi]. So we must aim to be the best in character during these blessed nights and continue to do so for the rest of the year. We must not argue, swear, backbite, slander or gossip.

No time wasting: We must make a firm intention that during these blessed 10 nights, we will not take part in idle talk, watch TV, play computer games or spend time on the social media. There are 355 days in the year for all that – if you really cannot resist. This is just 10 nights! There will be indeed an utter loss and regret for those of us who waste these blessed 10 nights.

Making life changes: We should make the necessary changes to improve ourselves as Muslims and what better time to make such changes than during these blessed 10 nights where we can change our lives forever. We must internalise these changes and make a firm commitment to Allah subḥānahu wa ta’āla (glorified and exalted be He), and maybe that he will wipe off our sins until we become newborn babies, In sha Allah.

The Worship PlanThe following is a possible worship routine for the last 10 blessed nights of Ramadan. It should be adjusted according to your local time.

09:30 pm – 10:00 pm: Break fast with dates and water and pray Maghrib (men with congregation and women at home). Afterwards pray the 2 raka’ahs of sunnah

4

Laylatul Qadr – Worship Plan to Maximise the Last 10 Nights of Ramadan!Farrukh Paasha | ProductiveMuslims.com

and as many nawafil (voluntary) prayers in sets of 2 raka’ahs as you can manage.

Can you imagine the rewards of voluntary and fard prayers during Laylatul Qadr? Subhan Allah! You will be rewarded like you have prayed the fard and voluntary prayers for over 83 years.

10:00 pm – 10:15 pm: Eat light to have optimum energy for worship. Avoid heavy and fried foods, as they will make you lethargic.

Tip: The lighter your stomach, the more worship you can perform. The more worship you perform, the more reward you will obtain, In sha Allah.

10:15 pm – 10:30 pm: Get ready to pray Isha’ and Taraweeh. Make ghusl or wudu. Pray 2 raka’ahs tahiyyatul wudu after every wudu. Wear your best clothes and put on attar, use a miswaak and comb your hair, beard etc.

Tip 1: Looking your best has a significant impact in making you more productive! These are the nights of maximum productivity! So look and smell good to be more productive!

Tip 2: Walk to the masjid if you are not in I’tikaf. Each and every step is rewarded like you have been walking to the masjid for over 83 years! Subhan Allah!

10:30 pm – 12:00 am: Pray Isha’ and Taraweeh. Pray 2 raka’ahs of tahiyyatul masjid upon arriving at the masjid and 4 raka’ahs of sunnah (this is often neglected) before the 4 fard of Isha’.

Tip: Praying Taraweeh during Laylatul Qadr will bring rewards of over 83 years for each and every letter recited by the imam and for each and every prostration (sajda).

12:00 am – 12:30 am: As soon as Taraweeh is completed, prepare for worship until Fajr. Make fresh wudu or ghusl if you wish to. Drink water. If you are hungry,

eat (light). Either stay at the masjid or go home immediately. Do not partake in any idle talk and go straight to the spot where there will be no disturbances and begin worship immediately. There should be no procrastination during these blessed 10 nights.

Tip: The less time we waste, the more time we have for worship. The more time we have for worship, the more we can gain unimaginable rewards during these blessed 10 nights.

12:30 am – 1:30 am: Recite the Qur’an, contemplating and pondering over the words of Allah subḥānahu wa ta’āla (glorified and exalted be He).

Tip: The Noble Qur’an was revealed during Laylatul Qadr. So surely we should spend the last 10 nights of Ramadan reciting the Qur’an. Each and every letter is normally rewarded 10 good deeds. During Ramadan, this is increased further but during Laylatul Qadr each letter will be rewarded like one has recited it for over 83 years. Subhan Allah!

1:30 am – 2:00 am: 1:30 – 2:00 am – Pray nafl salah, recite the Qur’an or engage in reciting the dua of Laylatul Qadr Dua as much as possible which completely wipes out sins.

Allahumma innaka ‘affuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa’fu ‘anni’

‘O Allah You are The One Who forgives greatly, and loves to forgive, so forgive me. [Sunan Ibn Majah]

Tip: This dua was given by the Prophet Muhammad ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) to the most beloved person to him: Aisha raḍyAllāhu ‘anha (may Allāh be pleased with her). So that makes the dua extra special.

2:00 am – 2:45 am: 8 raka’ahs of tahajjud prayer with long sajdas, reciting as many

surahs as you know. Knowing beforehand the meaning of the surahs that you will be reciting will allow you to attain khushu.

Tip: The best nawafil prayer is tahajjud as it is a prayer that allows you to get closer to Allah subḥānahu wa ta’āla (glorified and exalted be He). It can be prayed after Isha’ until just before Fajr begins. The best recitation of the Qur’an is done during tahajjud prayer. You should recite as much of the Qur’an as you have memorised. In the long prostrations, beg Allah subḥānahu wa ta’āla (glorified and exalted be He) for forgiveness and mercy and surely He will never turn away his slaves who beg of him during this prayer.

2:45 am – 3:00 am: Eat suhoor slightly earlier so you can spend the last 30 minutes in dua. The dua just before Fajr is the best and most accepted dua, and any dua on Laylatul Qadr is accepted without a doubt, In sha Allah.

Tip: Prepare suhoor during the day and store it in the fridge as nothing should get in the way of our worship during these blessed nights. Preparing suhoor beforehand leaves us with more time to worship.

3:00 am until Fajr begins: Devote the last 30 minutes in dua. Beg and cry unto Allah subḥānahu wa ta’āla (glorified and exalted be He). Praise and glorify Him by using His beautiful names, asking for His mercy and forgiveness and for our parents, families and ourselves. Ask for anything that your heart desires. Include duas for the Ummah. Surely Allah subḥānahu wa ta’āla (glorified and exalted be He) will accept each and every sincere dua during these blessed 10 nights, especially on Laylatul Qadr!

Tip: Make a dua list and be sure to cover everything you can think of so that your mind does not go blank when making duas on these blessed nights.

Repeat this schedule for each and every night of worship during the last 10 nights of Ramadan and know that on at least one of the nights, we will gain the rewards equivalent to those of more than 83 years. Subhan Allah that is longer than most of us will live!

May Allah subḥānahu wa ta’āla (glorified and exalted be He) enable us to make the best of these nights. May He enable us to catch the blessed Laylatul Qadr and gain the rewards that are promised for it. Ameen.

H A P P I N ES S I N R AM ADAN

Ramadan is the month where we seek to come closer to our Creator by doing all acts of worship more intently and intensely. Two of those acts are giving zakat and

sadaqah. There are over 20 verses in the Quran that talk about the importance of caring for orphans.

"Verily we feed them out of love for Him, we do not expect from you reward nor gratitude" (The Holy Quran 76:9)

During this blessed month when the reward is multiplied many folds, we invite you to sponsor HAPPINESS! 1. ZAKAT There's no better time to make zakat contribution than in this month. Once you select that

your contribution is zakat, we will designate the funds only for projects that follow zakat's re-strictions.

2. SPONSOR IFTAR (Breaking of the fast) in any of our homes. Each home has about 30-40 kids with the exception of the one in Khaligong, Bangladesh where we support 327 children. For $75-100 you can sponsor an iftaar for each home. If you'd like to sponsor the 360 children, the cost is $450 for an iftaar.

3. EID GIFTS For $10-20 , you can sponsor Eid clothes, shoes, or a toy for our children. We encourage our children to choose their favorite options to make Ramadan and Eid extra special.

Do you wonder why we want you to know?Why you should think before you throw?

It’s to protect our planet from all of that trashThat harms our environment – it’s really so sad!

In landfills and oceans, the trash goes inAnd our health it affects; marine life it kills

So let’s not be wasteful; since we must have trashRemember, there’s the bad and the not-so-badThe not-so-bad waste is for blue and green bins

It can be made useful if put in the right bin

In the blue - clean cans, bottles, paper, food-boxRecyclable plastics, foil, coffee-cup tops

In the green, those items good for compostThey’ll enhance soil quality once they rot

Food-scraps, paper cups, plates, compostable spoons, forksGo in the green bin as they’ll help plants to grow

As for the black-liner bins, this is useless stuffThis is the one, its volume we must cut

Such as disposable plastics, plastic bags and cling wrapWrappers, styrofoam, plates and cups that are waxed

Just a moment of thought before throwing it inIs all it takes, so please choose the right bin

It’s really not difficult, once this habit we formWe can save our planet from so much harm!
