“ENGLAND HAS DROWNED! ENGLAND HAS DROWNED!”

Should the headlines read such formidable news, the global community would no doubt be in a state of utter shock.

THE MATTER OF FACT IS: Land greater than the SIZE of England has indeed drowned. The damage in Pakistan is unfathomable and the statistics pouring in have grown beyond comprehension.

The Fasting and the Furious

How to Drive Your Motivation All Throughout Ramadan

August 8, 2010 at 7:10pm EDT

Join us with our beloved Sheikh Muhammad Alshareef as he discusses how to overcome the motivation dip in the middle of Ramadan.

Ramadan is like a 3-lap NASCAR race that most kick off with a well-oiled and fuelled machine only to discover it needs maintenance by the time it hits Lap 2. Because they haven’t prepared for the middle slack before they rev again into the last 10 days of Ramadan, they’ve suffered a major loss in being the foremost in ‘ibaadah.

Each year, we prepare ourselves for the coming of Ramadan. We attend many workshops on how to prepare for Ramadan, but each year, we fool ourselves into believing that we will drive right through all 30 days fully equipped with tools of ‘ibaadah, fully indulged in the blessed days of the month.

How many times have you:

• Fell behind in your Qur’aan reading schedule?
• Felt too tired or demotivated to go to Taraweeh?
• Became too drained to wake up for suhoor?
• Shortened your time in Qiyaam because you did pretty ok yesterday?
• Said to yourself: “I’ll take a break now so that I can be fully energized for the last 10 days”?

What if you could drive right through all the days of Ramadan without feeling the motivation dip in the middle?

What if you could truly capitalize on the middle days of forgiveness? What if your last 10 days of Ramadan were built on the foundations of strength and vitality from the days preceding? What if this Ramadan was the most exceptional Ramadan of your life?

“Hence, whoever of you lives to see this month (Ramadan) shall fast throughout it…” 2:185

Could you deprive yourself of the most exceptional Ramadan this year?

Tune in for this Ilminar and:

• Discover how to overcome your middle Ramadan slump
• Equip yourself with the tools of revitalization and motivation
• Learn the methods and strategies the Sahaba implemented during Ramadan
• Comprehend the importance of a fully-rounded Ramadan
• Unleash your full potential as a worshiper and servant of Allah
• Anticipate and destroy any roadblocks that will arise during the month of Ramadan

Is it not about time you are foremost in your ‘ibaadah throughout this blessed month?
Rev up your engines and be among The Fasting and the Furious!

Umar radi Allahu anhu once stood on the pulpit and addressed the community with a loud powerful voice saying, “A man may grow old in Islam and never have completed for Allah a single salah!” They said, “How is this?” He said, “He does not perfect his concentration, nor his humbleness, nor his focus on Allah ‘azza wa jall.”

It is the tragedy of our times. In our homes and our masajid, coast to coast, distinguishing neither west nor east – we find ourselves praying, but not praying. Calmness of heart has replaced itself with a state of constant confusion. The very act so beloved to hearts of the righteous souls of the past, has become a 5 minute exercise of quickly uttered words and motions.

Could you imagine meeting Allah on the Day of Judgment only to find out that none of your prayers were accepted because they were devoid of devotion, humility, concentration, and God-consciousness? That would indeed be a tragedy.  For “the first matter that the slave will be brought to account for on the Day of Judgment is the prayer. If it is sound, then the rest of his deeds will be sound. And if it is bad, then the rest of his deeds will be bad” (Al-Tabarani).

Now’s the time to rectify our prayer.  Don’t delay! Attend “Fiqh of Salah” this October and learn how to maintain the divine link between you and Allah!

It’s been hailed as the most popular AlMaghrib seminar…  It’s been debated in bedrooms…discussed in boardrooms…deliberated over by eligible bachelors on the basketball courts and eligible sisters in their get-togethers.

We both love the topic and hate that we love it so much.  So, let us be done with it.

Attend Fiqh of Love and be done with it.  You’ll know it all.
