Eid Mubarak & Happy Teachers' Day!

En-Naeem Youths would like to wish Eid Mubaarak / Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all our Muslim sisters and brothers around the world!

Taqabbalallahu minna wa minkum a'maalus shaalih wa kullu 'aam wa antum bikhair!
(May Allah accept our good deeds and may you be blessed with goodness throughout the year!)

We seek forgiveness from all of you for all our shortcomings and mistakes that we may have committed unknowingly. We pray that we are amongst those who have attained taqwa as stated by Allah swt in the Qur'an, which is His Gift to us who have fasted in the manner that we ought to.

May Allah swt Increase us in Iman and Taqwa, and aid us in being vigilant in continuing the acts of ibadah and good deeds that we have habitually performed in Ramadhan for the next one year till the next Ramadhan :) Wanna get a headstart on the Sunnah fasts? Let's start with the Sunnah fast of the six days of Syawal!

Ayyub (Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace be upon him, his family, and companions) said, “Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days from Shawwal it is as if they fasted the entire year.” [Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah; Ahmad transmitted it from Jabir, Muntaqa]

*these six days exclude the first day of Syawal

We would also like to wish all teachers, educators, tutors, lecturers, asatizah, shaykhs and 'ulama a Happy Teachers' Day! Let us all give the due respect that they ought to receive from us, for that alone will please them. We would not know what we know now because of them, so we must always always respect them. Always keep in mind that Allah swt will ask You why you choose to disrespect or misbehave in front of your teachers.

Allahumma minal 'aaidin wal faa'izin :)

Have a blessed 'Eidulfitri everyone! :)
