TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

You can make a difference  Education for All initiatives.

Education is essential for everyone. It is the level of education that helps people earn respect and recognition. In my opinion, it is indispensable part of life both personally and socially. However, the unequal standard of education is still a major problem that needs to be solved.

I am writing this letter in request of educational sponsorship for Sheikh Alhagie Omar Nyandou Islamic memorization and English Language Proficiency. The School was established in 1983 by the founder Sheikh Alhagie Omar Nyandou from Pirang Village.

Furthermore, the school is dedicated to spreading authentic Islamic education from the Quran and Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). And also engage in the teaching of English Language Proficiency for both Children and Adults.

Sheikh Alhagie Omar Nyandou Islamic memorization and English Language Proficiency School is the oldest school in pirang Village and have being spreading the Teaching of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) Sunnah since in the 80's up to now. The Boarding school comprises of Orphan and needs children whose parents are poor, these children have free education.  While those at the English Language Proficiency, this children learn both the Quran and Modern English. With qualify teaching Lecturers in both sectors.

Total Number of Studentsare:

Number of Student at the Islamic memorization 350- Boarding school 
Number of Student English Language Proficiency 218  day schooling
10 full time Lecturers and 3 maid's

Our main concern is lack of learning material to help this poor and needs children
1. Fencing the School Compound
2. At the Boarding School lack of bed, Mosquito Net, use clothes, use shoes, 
3. Food, medical
4. Table and chairs
5.  Staff room for teachers
6. Learning materials Books for both sectors

7. Lack of toilet and kitchen 
8. Other helps which will be useful for helping education in African especial the Gambian Children.

Although education has a significant influence on life, the average education is not the same in different areas. As a result, strategies are being made to resolve the problems. Without education, life would be disastous and detrimental. Consequently, to this day, we are trying or best to make education global and accessible for everyone particularly the poor and the disabled. There are still some places where the inhabitants are almost completely uneducated, causing a serious lack of knowledge. Addtionally, every child should should be given equal opportunities to learn and study. Because the development of a country depends vastly on the standard of education, it must do everything in its power to improve it. Although the educational systems of different countries are not similar but they have to share a common goal which is to provide its citizens a suitable and proper learning.

In conclusion, education is absolutely beneficial for society on the whole. It is a life-long process to each person that need to be reinforced throughout life. However, we need education system that may eradicate illiteracy and may provide the common man an access not only to basic education but also to higher and technical education.

Serious consideration of my request would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to hearing from any good philanthropy around the Globe.

thanks 

Isatou Nyandou

Performing Wodhu before u go to sleep at night.

Recite Ayat Al Kursi every night before u sleep, this also protects u from nightmares.

Surah Al-Bakarah verse no 255,

Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber, nor sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter . And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

Transliteration: Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem. Qul huwa Allahu ahad  Allahu assamad  Lam yalid walam yoolad  Walam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad 

Translation: In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Marciful. Say (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)): "He is Allah, (the) One. "Allah-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks). "He begets not, nor was He begotten; "And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him."

 

urah Ikhlas is a very important Surah from the Holy Qur'an because it proclaims the Oneness (Tawhid) and Absolute nature of Divine Essence. This concept is presented in the first ayat. The second ayat declares that Allah is Eternal, i.e., He is beyond the bounds of time and space. The third ayat describes that Allah does not give birth nor is He is given birth and the last ayat declares that Allah is beyond comparison. Surah Ikhlas directly supports the first declaration (shahadah) of Islam: "There is no god but Allah". In this context, Islam is based on belief in one God (monotheism).

"Anas reported the Prophet saying, "if anyone recites two hundred times daily, 'Say, He is God, One', the sins of fifty years will be wiped out, unless he is in debt." Tirmidhi and Darimi transmitted it. The latter's version has "fifty times" and he did not mention "unless he is in debt."

Let us now recite this prayer with humility, courage and conviction.

The Sunnah in «Using Sewak»

Using Sewak (Teeth Cleaning Stick)

 

 

There are several times in which a Muslim may use Sewak at day and

night: 

 

The Prophet – Peace be upon him – said: (

Were it not for avoiding

inflicting difficulties on my nation, I would have ordered them

to use Sewak upon the performance of each prayer

) Narrated by

Al-Bukhari & Muslim. 

 

The total times of using Sewak by the Muslim at the day and night is

not less than (20) times. The Muslim uses Sewak :

-Upon performing the five prayers, the regular Sunnah prayers, Al-Doha

(Morning) prayer, Al-Wetr Prayer (i.e. ending prayer with odd Raka’a –

prostration – at night).

- Upon entering the house, because the first thing performed by the

Prophet – Peace be upon him – when he enters his house is using the

Sewak, as narrated by Aisha – May Allah be pleased with her – in Sahih

Muslim. So, every time you enter your house use Sewka in order to apply

the Sunnah.

- Upon reading the Holy Quran, for changing the smell of the mouth.

- Upon waking up.

- Upon making ablution (Wudhou’). The Prophet – Peace be upon him

– said: (

The Sewak cleans the mouth and causes the pleasure of

Allah the Almighty

) Narrated by Ahmad.

The benefit of applying this Sunnah:

a)

Gaining the pleasure of Allah the Almighty.

b)

Cleaning the mouth.

Miswak is the root of the " Peelu" tree ( salvadora Persica) known in arabic as " Arak". The sewak is the natural, safer and more effective tooth brush in comparison with synthetic toothburshes. Its soft fibers reach more easily between the teeth where the conventional tooth brush often misses( flossing effect). The sewak is the effective way of maintaining the high level oral cleanliness which directly relates to overall wellness of the body.
Miswak is mainly Sunnah of prophet Mohammad (Pbuh). Miswak kills mouth bacteria, removes mouth odor, reduces tooth decay, fights plaque and many other spiritual and health benefits.

BEAUTY OF RAMADAN

"O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you 

Some Common Mistakes in Ramadaan

 Some Common Mistakes in Ramadaan
1 : Taking Ramadan as a ritual:For many of us Ramadan has lost its spirituality and has become more 

of a ritual than a form of Ibaadah. We fast from morning to night like 

a zombie just because everyone around us is fasting too. We forget 

that its a time to purify our hearts and our souls from all evil....

we forget to make dua, forget to beseech Allaah to forgive us and 

ask Him to save us from the Fire.  Sure we stay away from food and 

drink but that's about all.

Although the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
"'Jibreel said to me, May Allaah rub his nose in the dust, 
that person to who Ramadaan comes and his sins are 
not forgiven, and I said, Ameen.

2 : Too much stress on food and drink:
For some people, the entire month of Ramadan revolves around food.
They spend the ENTIRE day planning, cooking, shopping and thinking
about only food, instead of concentrating on Salaah,
".....and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly
He (Allah) likes not Al-Musrifoon (those who waste by extravagance) "
[al-Araaf :31]

3 : Spending all day cooking
Some of the sisters (either by their own choice or forced by
their husbands) are cooking ALL day and ALL night, so that by
the end of the day, they are too tired to even pray Ishaa,

4 : Eating too much

Some people stuff themselves at Suhoor until they are ready to burst,
because they think this is the way to not feel hungry during the day
and some people eat at Iftaar, like there is no tomorrow, trying to
make up for the food missed. However, this is completely against
the Sunnah. Moderation is the key to everything.

The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: 
"The son of Adam does not fill any vessel worse than his stomach; 
for the son of Adam a few mouthfuls are sufficient to keep his 
back straight. If you must fill it, then one-third for food, 
one-third for drink and one-third for air."
(Tirmidhi, Ibn Maajah.  saheeh by al-Albaani).

5 : Sleeping all day:
Some people spend their entire day (or a major part of it) sleeping away
their fast. Is this what is really required of us during this noble month?
These people also are missing the purpose of fasting and are slaves to
their desires of comfort and ease. They cannot bear to be awake and
face a little hunger or exert a little self-control. For a fasting person
to spend most of the day asleep is nothing but, negligence on his part. 

6 : Wasting time:
The month of Ramadaan is a precious, precious time, so much so that
Allaah calls this month "Ayyamum Madoodaat" (A fixed number of days).
Before we know it, this month of mercy and forgiveness will be over.
We should try and spend every moment possible in the worship of Allaah
so that we can make the most of this blessing. 

7 : Fasting but not giving up evil:
Some of us fast but do not give up lying, cursing, fighting, backbiting, etc.
and some of us fast but do not give up cheating, stealing, dealing in haraam,
buying lotto tickets, selling alcohol, fornication,
"O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed 
for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious)"
[al-Baqarah 2:183]

The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:  
"Whoever does not give up false speech and acting upon it, 
and ignorance, Allaah has no need of him giving up his food and drink."
(Bukhaari)

8 : Smoking:
Smoking is forbidden in Islam whether during Ramadaan or outside of it,
as it is one of al-Khabaaith (evil things). And this includes
ALL kinds of smoking material eg.cigars, cigarettes, pipes, sheesha, hookah etc.  

9 : Skipping Suhoor:
The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:
"Eat suhoor for in suhoor there is blessing."(Bukhaari, Muslim).

And he (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:  
"The thing that differentiates between our fasting and the fasting of 
the People of the Book is eating suhoor." (Muslim)
 
10 : Stopping Suhoor at Imsaak :
Some people stop eating Suhoor 10-15 minutes earlier than the time of Fajr
to observe Imsaak.


11 : Not fasting if they missed Suhoor:
Some people are too scared to fast if they miss Suhoor. However,
this is a kind of cowardice and love of ease. What is the big deal
if you missed a few morsels of food? Its not like you will die. Remember,
obedience to Allah overcomes everything.

  12: Missing the golden chance of having your Dua accepted:
The prayer of the fasting person is guaranteed to be accepted
at the time of breaking fast.

The Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:  
"Three prayers are not rejected: the prayer of a father, 
the prayer of a fasting person, and the prayer of a traveler."
(al-Bayhaqi, saheeh by al-Albaani).

Instead of sitting down and making Dua at this precious time, some
people forego this beautiful chance, and are too busy frying samosas,
talking, setting the food, filling their plates and glasses, etc. Think about it
....Is food more important than the chance to have your sins forgiven or
the fulfillment of your Duas.
13: : Fasting but not praying:
The fasting of one who does not pray WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
This is because not praying constitutes kufr as the Prophet
(Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said:  
"Between a man and shirk and kufr there stands his giving up prayer."
(Muslim)

In fact, NONE of his good deeds will be accepted; rather,
they are all annulled.

"Whoever does not pray Asr, his good deeds will be annulled."
(Bukhaari)
14:Fasting and not wearing Hijaab:

Not wearing the Hijaab is a major sin as it is obligatory for Muslim women.
(See Surah Nur, Surah Ahzaab). So fasting and not wearing hijaab certainly
takes away enormously from the rewards of fasting,
even if does not invalidate it. 

15:Not fasting because of exams or work:
Exams or work is NOT one of the excuses allowed by the Shariah to not fast.
You can do your studying and revision at night if it is too hard to do that
during the day. Also remember that pleasing and obeying Allaah is much
more important than good grades. Besides, if you will fulfil your obligation
to fast, even if you have to study, Allaah will make it easy for you and help
you in everything you do.

"Whosoever fears Allah, He will appoint for him a way out and provide for him
from where he does not expect, Allah is Sufficient for whosoever puts his trust
in Him."
(Surah at-Talaaq 2-3) 

16:Mixing fasting and dieting:

DO NOT make the mistake of fasting with the intention to diet.
That is one of the biggest mistakes some of us make (esp. sisters).
Fasting is an act of worship and can only be for the sake of Allah alone.

Otherwise, mixing it with the intention of dieting may become
a form of (minor) Shirk. 

17:Praying ONLY on the night of the 27th
Some people pray ONLY on the 27th to seek Lailat ul-Qadr, neglecting
all other odd nights, although the Prophet (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam)
said:  
"Seek Lailat ul-Qadr among the odd numbered nights of 
the last ten nights of Ramadan."
(Bukhaari, Muslim).

PLEASE LET LEARN FROM OUR OWN MISTAKES, 
 

Fast voluntarily on Monday and Thursday.
 O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint,-

 For Muslim men and women,- for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in Charity, for men and women who fast (and deny themselves), for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in Allah’s praise,- for them has Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward.

 The Prophet (peace be on him) mentioned that: “The deeds of the worshippers are presented before Allah on Monday and Thursday, I like my deeds to be presented while I am fasting.” (Nasa’I) The prophet (peace be on him) was asked about fasting on Monday, he said:” That is the day I was born and the day (the first Revelation) was sent down on me.” (Muslim) Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast on Monday and Thursday. On being asked about that the Prophet said: “Deeds are presented on every Monday and Thursday. Allah forgives every Muslim or every believer, except for those who are forsaking each other. He says [about them]: ‘Leave them.’ “ (Reported by Ahmad with authentic chain of narrators) Aayeshah Radhiyallahu anha reports: “Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi wasallam (often) gave importance to the fasting on Mondays and Thursdays” Tirmidhi

Abu Hurayrah Radhiyallahu anhu says: “Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said: ‘Deeds are presented (before Allah subhanahu wata’allah) on Mondays and Thursdays. I desire that my deeds be presented whilst I am fasting’” Tirmidhi 288:8 Action Plan 1. Make intention to fast 2. Wake up for suhoor/sehri and have a good breakfast before the true dawn 3.Make tahajud/qiyam layl 4. Abstain from food, drink, sexual intercourse and evil from sunrise to sunset. 5. Make iftaar on time at maghrib time
