We
are all one Ummah regardless where we live.
Let's
be practical.
Remember
all your Family in your prayers BY NAME
Remember
all your friends in your prayers BY NAME TOO
Make
taa'at with your friends -gather to make Ramadan bags, to serve iftar
for ma'edet Rahman, to recite Qur`an- any taa'at that will make
you feel that you are not one but you are a part of a big nation
standing next to each other to serve when needed.
Invite
as many friends as you can, distribute iftar meals in
train and metro stations or anywhere where people can't find
anyone to serve iftar for them.
Make
a list of all your friends' names and distribute their names
along the month to call or meet them.
Call
your friends at fajr & tarweeh prayers, to go with each
other. Gather your friends to have iftar with each other
Smile
at every Muslim you meet in the Masjed, just keep
reminding yourself before you go to pray, that you will smile to
all.
Remember
ALL MUSLIMS in your prayers, I mean it, ALL MUSLIMS; just take a
few seconds to recognize that you are part of a Big Ummah
spread around the world.
START
IT LIKE THIS
Pray
for Muslims in your street, zone, city, country, move to other
countries (Palestine - Iraq – Indonesia – Bosnia –
Chechnya – China –Pakistan and so on…)
You'll
get amazed, all these people are your Brothers & sisters.
And to tell you the truth there are two situations (I'm sure
everyone goes through daily) before which you can remember all
Muslims.
1. Once
you sit to eat your iftar meal after a long sunny day, remember
there are Muslims everywhere that are not having the same
quality of food you have
SO
PRAY FOR THEM BEFORE YOU EAT.
2.
Once you go to sleep at night after a long tiring day, remember
there are Muslims everywhere that are not having the same
quality of shelter you have
SO
PRAY FOR THEM BEFORE YOU SLEEP
Now
if you finished reading this, this means that you have thousands
of gifts granted to you by ALLAH
