BISMILLAAHIR RAHMAANIR RAHEEM.
ASSALAMU'ALAIKUM WRBTH, DEAR ILHAM FRIENDS,
It is stated in a Hadith that Prophet Muhammad SAWS said: " If my Ummah could realize what Ramadhan really is, they would wish that the whole year should be Ramadhan."
In another Hadith Prophet Muhammad SAWS said: " The fasting of Ramadhan and fasting three days of every month keeps evil away from the heart."

WISDOM OF ALI (RA)
BISMILLAAHIR RAHMAANIR RAHEEM.
ASSALAMU'ALAIKUM WRBTH,DEAR ILHAM FRIENDS,
Ali RA said, " Shedding tears is of three types - the first is from the fear of Allah's punishment, the second is from the fear of Allah's anger, and the third is from the fear of being cut off from Allah.
The first one is a compensation for sins, the second is purification from faults, and the third is elevation to the ranks of sainthood accompanied by the pleasure of the Beloved. The fruit of the compensation of sins is salvation from punishment; the fruit of the purification of faults is eternal bliss and high ranks; and the fruit of the elevation to the ranks of sainthood accompanied by the pleasure of the Beloved is glad tidings from Allah the Exalted of His pleasure, of seeing Him, of the visiting of angels, and of an increase in virtue."

THE BEST CURE FOR ALL AILMENTS
BISMILLAAHIR RAHMAANIR RAHEEM.
ASSALAMU'ALAIKUM WRBTH, DEAR ILHAM FRIENDS,
The following story was related by Al-Hasan al-Basri (ra):
" One day I was walking with a young pious man in the narrow streets of Basra and its markets until we reached a physician sitting on a chair and around him were many men, women and children who had bottles of water in their hands. Each one of them was seeking a cure for his illness. The young man moved closer to the physician and asked him, 'O physician! Do you have a medicine that cleans away sins and cures the (spiritual) diseases of the heart?' He replied, 'Yes!' The man said, 'Give it to me!' The physician said, 'Take ten things from me :-
Take the roots of the tree of poverty with the roots of the tree of humility, and pour in it the milk of repentance, then place it in the mortar of acceptance (of whatever is predestined for one), crush it with the pestle of contentment, then place it in the pot of piety, pour over it the water of shame, then boil it with the fire of love, then place it in the cup of gratitude and cool it down with the fan of hope, then drink it with the spoon of praise. If you do all of this, then it will cure you of every illness and trial in this world and in the Hereafter."
