THE NIGHT OF BARA`AH (NISF SHA `BAAN ) is between the 14th and 15th day of Sha`baan. Traditions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ prove it is a meritorious night in which people on Earth are attended by special Divine Mercy. [Some will observe this Saturday night, others Sunday night. (Check your country) Both are OK] It is important to uphold these traditions, to spend it in total submission to Allah Almighty and refrain from any activities which may displease Him. Feed people, remember Allah ﷻ, remember His Prophet ﷺ, to pray its night and fast its day. One should remain awake this night and worship as much as possible. If unable, select a considerable portion of the night, preferably the second half. If a woman is prevented from praying/fasting (due to menstruation or forty days after childbirth), the angels complete her worship and present it to Allah. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE THIS NIGHT? READING SURAH YASEEN Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said the heart of Holy Qu'ran is Surah Yaseen, and Yaseen is the name of Prophet ﷺ, which means the heart of Qu'ran is Prophet ﷺ! Also, the heart of Yaseen is al-Fatihah, so when you recite Surah Yaseen on Laylat al-Bara'ah, you will be blessed. Allah ﷻ manifests His Beauty, Light and Knowledge on everyone who observes this night. After Maghrib or Isha prayer, we read Surah Yasin three times, after each time read a special dua with the following intentions: 1st reading is for long life. 2nd reading is for protection from calamities. 3rd reading is for not needing/relying on anyone but Allah ﷻ. SALAT AL-KHAYR Afterwards, at home or in congregation, perform 100 rakats prayed in sets of two rakats. In each rakat, recite one Surat al-Fatiha and ten Surat al-Ikhlas (total 1000 Surat al-Ikhlas). Some people keep track of rakats on a misbaha (tasbih, rosary beads). FASTING THE DAY OF BARA'AH Prophet ﷺ highly recommended fasting 15th Shabaan (mustahabb) and a vast majority of Predecessors of the Ummah kept this fast. ❤️

Imagine the protagonist realising they’ve forgotten something extremely important to one of their friends: birthday, dress rehearsal, ceremony. Leaving them panicking that their friend will never forgive them and trying to work out how to make it up to them.

Why the Ascension of Christ Matters for Your Life

by Matthew Barrett | Christ ascended into heaven, an event we too often overlook, thinking it has little significance. The last thing we read in Luke’s Gospel, and one of the first things we read in his sequel (the book of Acts), is that Jesus ascended into the sky after...

The Council of Nicea

by Philip Schaff

"As soon as it was day, the elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, came together and led Him into their council, saying, 'If you are the Christ, tell us.' But He said to them, 'If I tell you, you will by no means believe. And if I also ask you, you will by no means answer Me or let Me go. Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the right hand of the power of God.' Then they all said, 'Are You then the Son of God?' So He said to them, 'You rightly say that I am.' And they said, "What further testimony do we need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth." - Luke 22:66-71

Nicea, the very name which speaks of victory, was the second city of Bithynia, only twenty English miles from the imperial residence of Nicomedia, and easily accessible by sea and land from all parts of the empire. Here, in the year 325, the emperor summoned the bishops of the empire by a letter of invitation, putting at their service the public conveyances and liberally defraying from the public treasury the expenses of their residence in Nicea and their return home.

The formal opening of the council was made by the stately entrance of the emperor, Constantine the Great. After a brief salutatory address from the bishop on his right, the emperor himself delivered with a gentle voice in the official Latin tongue, the opening address.

It was my highest wish, my friends, that I might be permitted to enjoy your assembly. I must thank God that in addition to all other blessings, he has shown me this highest one of all: to see you all gathered here in harmony and with one mind. May no malicious enemy rob us of this happiness. Discord in the church I consider more fearful and painful than any other war. As soon as I by the help of God had overcome my enemies, I believed that nothing more was now necessary than to give thanks to God in common joy with those whom I had liberated. But when I heard of your division, I was convinced that this matter should by no means be neglected, and in the desire to assist by my service, I have summoned you without delay. I shall, however, feel my desire fulfilled only when I see the minds of all united in that peaceful harmony which you, as the anointed of God, must preach to others. Delay not therefore, my friends, delay not, servants of God; put away all causes of strife and loose all knots of discord by the laws of peace. Thus shall you accomplish the work most pleasing to God and confer upon me, your fellow servant, an exceeding great joy.

The council of Nicea is the most important event of the fourth century, and its bloodless intellectual victory over a dangerous error is of far greater consequence to the progress of true civilization than all the bloody victories of Constantine and his successors. It forms an epoch in the history of doctrine, summing up the results of all previous discussion on the deity of Christ and the incarnation, and at the same time regulating the further development of the Catholic orthodoxy for centuries. The Nicene creed, in the enlarged form which it received after the second ecumenical council, is the only one of all the symbols of doctrine which, with the exception of the subsequently added filioque, is acknowledged alike by the Greek, Latin, and Evangelical churches, and to this day, after a course of fifteen centuries, is prayed and sung from Sunday to Sunday in all countries of the civilized world.

The wild passions and the weaknesses of men, which encompassed the Nicene council, are extinguished, but the faith in the eternal deity of Christ has remained.

The nightmare expands.

Gier guld entered his main adminstrative building. The other corporate heads had been summoned and their members waiting eagerly as he walks to the center.

He tapped on the mic before smiling widely. "As many have read in your emails. Yes. a deal has been made with mammon. You are looking at the next..what could be a word. Heir. Face? The new nightmare of hell?" He cackles. "I built this state on the foundations of maximizing profits, of reaching the top, no matter the cost. Those who sit here today are proof of that concept..and i have just reached the peak. Now begins to the real work...as such i am introducing a bill into the legislation." He looks to the podium pulling out a drive as he inserts it pressing a button.

The corporate state act

Under permissions of lord mammon. Gier guld has been allowed to expand his influence and power in return for his soul and continued growth of the territory. The territory is to be expanded heavily and subjugated under our will. As long as we do not encroach on areas highlighted in sub-section B through E. Half the factories are to turn to their true purpose. warfare though these will be in our main holdings which will be easier to hide see sub-section A. Corporate heads will take under their control new swaths of land as their fiefdoms if you will. Each new territory will move to serving a form of industry.

"Voting begins now."

By the end of the day unsurprisingly the act passed with flying colors and not a single vote against it. only a few amendments such as giving a bit of autonomy to what each head wished to focus on...minor concessions nothing that would upset the legal binding on his soul.

The corporate troops were moblized and the expansion began.
