My dear friend in Gaza, May Allah سبحانه و تعالى protect her, told me,
"During last Friday's sermon, the Imam stood on the pulpit and delivered the shortest sermon in human history. He said, "Dear friends, I am hungry and can not speak. You are starving and can not listen. So, establish prayer."

The Sahaba, RadiAllahu Anhum, always followed the Sunnah because it was Sunnah.
Today, we don't follow the Sunnah because it is (only) Sunnah.
We have become derelict and complacent in our deen.
We need to learn Sunnah, understand Sunnah, and live the Sunnah.

According to Imām Abū Hanīfah, The Lamp of the Imams, Rahimahu Allah Ta'ala, Witr salah is wājib, whereas according to the other three Imāms, Rahimahum Allah Ta'ala, it is Sunnah Mu'akkadah

A favorable sign that our Ramadan ibadat and good deeds have been accepted is that we maintain a desire and ease to continue them beyond Ramadan.
If we find ourselves regressing and returning to our less desirable habits, there is less surety that our efforts have been accepted.

In times of distress, we often recite Surah ad-Duha, as it was revealed to the Prophet ﷺ following a brief hiatus in wahy (revelation).
During this pause, the disbelievers mocked and taunted Rasūl’Allāh ﷺ, telling him that Allah سبحانه و تعالى had forsaken him.

Taleem is often conducted at the mosque, but it is also a very important practice to perform at home with your family.
Start a new habit today with daily taleem in your home. It takes only 5-10 minutes, and the rewards of this life, and the next, are immense.

For new Muslims, especially those in the US, there can be a lot of confusion regarding matters of fiqh. In an international jamaat at the masjid, one will notice differences in how the prayer is performed. It is therefore important to understand, appreciate, and acknowledge the validity of each.
