Di sini aku simpan, bila aku tak tahu macam mana nak share status kat Facebook.

Ramadan Mubarak. A month given by Allah for a total self transformation. Focus and may Allah bless each of us, amen.

What to say the first time you see the new crescent of Ramadan

اللَّهمَّ أَهلَّهُ علينَا بالأمنِ والإيمانِ والسَّلامةِ والإسلامِ ربِّي وربُّكَ اللَّهُ

Transliteration: Allahumma ahillahu alayna bil-amni wal-īmān was-salaamati wal-islam. Rabbi wa rabbuka Allāh

Translation: Oh Allāh, make it a start full of peace and faith, safety and Islam. My lord and your lord is Allāh

Commentary: Notice how this supplication paired peace and faith as if they are twins. In fact, in Arabic they sound alike (Amn and Emaan) because one is derived from the other. It also paired peace and Islam (Silm and Islam) because again one is derived from the other. In short, the two most important concepts in our religion (Islam and īmān) are both derived from the words that mean peace in Arabic, Amn and Silm. We ask Allāh to make this Ramadan full of peace.

What to say when breaking fast at sunset every day

ذهب الظمأ وابتلت العروق وثبت الأجر إن شاء الله

Transliteration: Dhahaba adh-Dhama' wabtallatil-urooq wa thabatal-ajr inshaa'Allāh

Translation: Thirst is gone, the veins are wet, and the reward is confirmed by the will of God

Commentary: Remember, the time of breaking the fast is one of the times where du‘ā’ is likely to be answered. So you can accompany this Prophetic du‘ā’ with any other du‘ā’ of your making.

What to say if someone tries to revile you while you're fasting

إني صائمٌ ، إني صائمٌ

Transliteration: Innee saa'im, innee saa'im

Translation: I'm fasting, I'm fasting

Commentary: imām Nawawi mentions that this either should be said loud so the aggressor can hear and hopefully stop, or it should be said in silence as a self-reminder. But the first opinion is stronger.

What to say after breaking fast with a group of people

أفطر عندكم الصائمون ، وأكل طعامكم الأبرار ، وصلت عليكم الملائكة

Transliteration: aftara indakum as-saa'imoon, wa akala ta'aamakum al-abraar, wa sallat alaikum al-malaa'ikah

Translation: May the fasting people break fast at your place, and may the pious eat from your food, and may the angels pray for you

What to say if you encounter the Night of al-Qadr

اللَّهمَّ إنَّك عفُوٌّ تُحبُّ العفوَ فاعْفُ عنِّي

Transliteration: Allahumma innaka afuwwun tuhibbu al-afwa fa'fu anni

Translation: Oh Allāh you are forgiving, and you love forgiveness, so forgive me
