Praise be to Allah and may His peace and blessings be upon the Messenger, his family, his Companions, and all those who follow his way until the Day of Judgment.

Welcome to the 13th issue of Risala al Targheeb.

We are pleased to announce the launch of Young Momins Online Homeschooling (YMOH). The program commenced with a six week summer program for grade one entrants, which included Quran with Tajweed, Reading and Information Communication Technology (ICT) in Ramadan/July 2011.

This quarter, in the Young Momins’ section, we have summarized Surah Al Fajr and Surah Al Kahf, and published two articles titled ‘Reading’ and 'Making a Difference.' 

In Targheeb's section, we have added a transcription of a lecture titled ‘Being Dutiful and Good to Parents’ by Shaykh Abdullaah Al-Ghudyaan, and published a collection of duas from the Quran and Sunnah under Targheeb articles.

The e-library section continues to flourish with good reading material for both adults and children. As we approach Hajj we recommend; ‘A Brief Guide to the Rites of Hajj and Umrah’ by Shaikh Abu Haatim Usaamah al-Qoosee, ‘Hajj and Tawheed’ by Dr. Saleh As-Saleh, ‘How to Perform the Rituals of Hajj and Umrah’ by Shaikh Muhammad As-Salih Al-Uthaimeen, ‘Superior Days for Righteous Deeds’ by Shaykh Abdullah Ibn Abdur-Rahman al-Jibreen and several other topics including a wide range of books under the e-books category, “Aqeedah.”

We would also like to share with you YMOH recommended resources and have included Arabic Language prepartory and elementary books (Logati), Islamic Studies (Tawheed and Fiqh (Arabic) by Dar ul Arqam) and ‘Learn Basic Sight Words’ by Dale Smith introduced into our YMOH grade one curriculum.

One in a Million: We continue to support our in-house projects thorugh our One in a Million link. However, it is also important for us to bring awareness of need globally. The two major international appeals, last quarter, were the Pakistan floods and the East Africa crisis (Horn of Africa Crisis). Over 5m people were affected by the floods and 13m people were affected by the drought and conflict in Africa.

We wish all of the pilgrims a Hajj Mabroor!  May Allah accept all of our deeds and grant us increase in good deeds and raise us in ranks both in this world and the next. Ameen.

Likewise, they have explained the statement: "and more" in verse 26 of Soorah Yoonus. Ibn Katheer mentioned in his Tafseer: "The statement of Allah "and with Us there's more" is similar to the statement of His: "For those who have done good there's good and more." (Yoonus: 26)

It has preceded in Saheeh Muslim on the authority of Suhaib bin Sinaan Ar-Roomi (may Allaah be pleased with him) the meaning is looking at the Noble Face of Allah. Al-Bazzaar and Ibn Abi Haatim have narrated from the Hadeeth of Shareek Al-Qaadi on the authority of Uthmaan bin Umayr Abi Al-Yaqthaan on the authority of Anas bin Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him), regarding the statement of Allah: "and with Us there's more" He said: "Their Lord will appear to them every Jumu'ah." Likewise,  Ibn Jareer narrated on him in his Tafseer 26/173. As well as Al-Bayhaqi in "Al-Ba'th wan Nushoor."

As for the hadeeth of Suhayb (may Allaah be pleased with him) which is in Saheeh Muslim, he narrated on the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) with the wording: "When the people of Paradise enter the paradise Allah will say: Do you want anything more that I can add to what I have already given you? They will say: Have you not made our faces white? Have you not entered us into the paradise and saved us from the hell-fire? He, the Prophet (salallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: He (Allah) will remove the veil and they (the people of paradise) will not have been given anything more beloved to them than looking at the face of their Lord. Then He (the Prophet sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) recited the verse: "For those who have done good there's good and more".

From this hadeeth it is known from the angle of where the looking at the Noble Face of the Lord is named that which is "More". 

We ask Allaah, The Noble, for the pleasure of looking at His Noble face on the day we will meet Him without there being harm or misleading trial.
