Prayers for Victims of Haiti Earthquake and Their Families

ICNA Sisters Wing extends it's most heartfelt condolences and offers prayers for the people of Haiti and their families worldwide, may Allah have mercy on them all. ICNA Sisters Wing would like to encourage everyone to please donate generously to Helping Hands relief effort for Haiti Earthquake victims, and to keep them all in your prayers.

We would also like to remind our memebers that there are lessons for us in everything around us. Muslim ummah should make Astaghfaar and seek refuge from our Lord.. Allah swt says in the Quran, "...There are indeed signs for the men of understanding." Surah al-Imran verse 190.

ICNA Sisters Wing would like to encourage all our members to talk to their families and their children about disaster preparedness, and to make emergency kits for such situations. May Allah protect us all from such calamaties Aameen.

A relevant hadith states: "One day Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) noticed a Bedouin leaving his camel without tying it and he asked the Bedouin, “Why don’t you tie down your camel?” The Bedouin answered, “I put my trust in Allah.” The Prophet then said, “Tie your camel first, then put your trust in Allah” (At-Tirmidhi)."

This is a reminder for us to do our part in making sure our families are prepared in the event of an emergency, seek refuge from the Almighty, and we leave the rest to The Most Merciful inshaAllah.

SAFAR

** Hazrat Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (Peace be Upon Him) said: "No illnesses, misfortunes, calamities, nor signs of devilish influences descend upon this earth in the month of Safar." Bukhari Shareef also mentions that neither illnesses, misfortunes, calamities, nor any signs of devilish influences plague the earth this month.

** Hazrat Abu Darda (May Allah be pleased with Him) and Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with Him) reported from the Messenger of Allah that the beloved Prophet (Peace be upon Him) "solemnly counseled me (Hazrat Abu Hurairah) to diligently observe 3 acts, hence I would not omit them in my lifetime." When the Companions (May Allah be pleased with Them) enquired what these 3 acts were, he (Hazrat Abu Hurairah) replied:

1 – To keep 3 fasts on the 13^th, 14^th and 15^th of each Lunar month.

2 – Perform the Witr prayer (Salah) before retiring to sleep.

3 – To perform Salatul Ishraaq (4 Raka’ats Nafl a little while after sunrise).

The Messenger of Allah has placed great emphasis on the performance of these acts, as they are a means of obtaining the treasured bounties of Almighty Allah.

** Hazrat Ali (May Allah be pleased with Him) reports the following Hadith that the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon Him) said: "Whosoever observe the fasts of Ramadaan and the fasts of Ayyaam-e Beedh (fasting on 13^th, 14^th and 15^th of every lunar month), Almighty Allah will remove from him all the ailments and disorders of the heart."

** In another Hadith, Hazrat Jabir (May Allah be pleased with Him) reports the Prophet (Peace be upon Him) saying: "Whosoever fasts on the 13^th, 14^thand 15^th of each lunar month will receive the reward of an entire lifetime’s fasting."

**Allah's Apostle said, '(There is) no 'Adwa (no contagious disease is conveyed without Allah's permission). nor is there any bad omen (from birds), nor is there any Hamah, nor is there any bad omen in the month of Safar, and one should run away from the leper as one runs away from a lion ''.
