﷽
REMINDER FOR SUNNAH FASTING!
Tomorrow is Monday. Please, endeavour to fast and remind others. Fasting twice a week (i.e Monday and Thursday) helps keep our faith strong and our desires under control. It also keeps us more conscious of Allāh (Sub-haanahu wata'aala). This is the formula for success given to us by our beloved prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam).
✔️'Ā'ishah (R.A.) said, "The Messenger of Allāh (Blessings and Peace be upon him) used to take care to fast on Mondays and Thursdays." (at-Tirmidhi)
➖The Messenger of Allāh (Blessings and Peace be upon him) said, "Deeds of people are presented (to Allāh) on Mondays and Thursdays. So I like that my actions be presented while I am fasting." (Tirmidhi)
➖"The prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) was keen to fast every Monday and Thursday." (Tirmidhi)
➖The prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) said, "He who loves my Sunnah has loved me, and he who loves me will be with me in Paradise." (at-Tirmidhi)
✔️Fasting is only 1% of not eating and drinking, the rest of the 99% is bringing your heart and soul close to Allāh (Sub-haanahu wata'aala).
➖Allāh (Sub-haanahu wata'aala) says: "Every good deed of the son of Ādam is for him except FASTING, for it is for me and I will reward it." (Bukhari and Muslim)
