It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
2 Peter 3: Because some scriptures are hard to understand and some will force them to say things God never intended, Peter warns us to take care.

6. Al Fajr Prayer
-Repeating after Athan (Call for prayer), asking peace and
blessings from Allah the Almighty to the Prophet, peace be upon
him, then mentioning the supplication of “Al Waseelah” as the following:
‹Allahumma Rabba hathihi-d-da› watit-tammati was-salatil qa›imati, ati
Muhammadan al-wasilata wal-fadilata, wab› athhu maqaman mahmudan-il-lathi
wa› adtahu (O Allah! Lord of this perfect call (of not ascribing partners to You) and
of the regular prayer which is going to be established! Kindly give Muhammad the
right of intercession and superiority and send him (on the Day of Judgment) to the best
and the highest place in Paradise which You promised him). Narrated by Bukhari and
Muslim.
-The invocations between Athan and Iqama (Start of prayer) are highly recommended
as Allah the Almighty will surely fulfill any invocations at this time. Similarly, the
invocations of the faster will surely be fulfilled because the Prophet, peace be upon
him, said: «Three types of invocations will surely be fulfilled by Allah the Almighty; the
invocations of the faster until he breaks his fasting, the invocations of the just ruler, and
the invocations of the wronged. The invocations of the later will be particularly raised by
Allah the Almighty above clouds, the doors of the heavens will be opened to it and Allah
the Almighty says «by my Power and Might, I will surely support you even if a period of
time lapsed». At-Termithi (3598), Ibn Majah (1752), Ahmad (2/445), Ibn Hibban (874),
narrated by Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him.
-Before performing the obligatory prayer of Fajr, it is highly recommended to perform
the regular Sunnah prayer (Two Rak›as). The regular Sunnah prayers means the
voluntary prayers recommended by the Prophet, peace be upon him, on daily basis,
and the total of which is 12 Rak›as per day, apart from the obligatory prayers. Muslim
narrated that Um Habiba, wife of the Prophet peace be upon him, said: «I heard the
Prophet, peace be upon him, saying: «If the Muslim performs twelve regular Rak›as
every day, other than the obligatory prayers, Allah the Almighty will build a home for him
in Paradise».
-It is highly recommended to perform Sunnah regular prayers at home.
-Performing the Fajr prayer in congregation (i.e. in Masjed). Muslim narrated (657)
that Jundob Bin Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, stated that the Prophet,
peace be upon him, said: «The Muslim who performs Fajr prayer will be under the divine
protection of Allah; so, no one may hurt him wrongfully because Allah will take revenge
from those who violate such protection and will throw them into hell».
6
7. Invocations and Glorifications after Fajr Prayer
- After performing prayer, it is recommended to stay in Masjed (As for woman, it is
recommended to stay in her place of prayer) until sunrise (Morning sitting - Dhoha).
The reward of this kind of worship is equal to the reward of one Complete Hajj and
Umra. It is recommended to spend such time by reading Quran and remembering the
verse: {Establish worship at the going down of the sun until the dark of night, and (the
recital of) the Qur›an at dawn. Lo! (the recital of) the Qur›an at dawn is ever witnessed}
Al-Israa (78).
- Saying morning invocations then performing Dhoha prayer (Twenty minutes after
sunrise), at least two Rak’as, and you can perform further two-Raka prayers as you
like.
Going to Work
- When you go to your work, you are deemed in worship status; therefore, ask reward
from Allah the Almighty so that you will gain the high reward along the period of your
work (You can exploit the time to reach work by asking Allah’s forgiveness, making
invocations or hearing Quran). Fear Allah, keep your tongue and limbs from doing
forbidden things. If you have any spare time in your work, try to exploit it by reading
Quran.
7
8. Dohr Prayer (Noon Prayer)
- Repeat after Athan.
- Make invocations between Athan and Iqama because Allah will surely
respond to the invocations at such time.
- Perform the prior four-Raka Sunnah prayer before Dohr obligatory prayer.

accompany with you a small Quran volume to be with you in the place of prayer,
work, school …etc.
Invocations after Prayer
- Perform the post-Dohr Sunnah prayer; two Rak’as.
- If you have no work at this time, exploit it by performing various kinds of worship,
especially reading Quran.
Asr Prayer (Afternoon)
- Repeating after Athan.
- Making invocations between Athan and Iqama.
- There is no Regular Sunnah prayer before or after Asr Prayer; however, the Prophet,
peace be upon him, said: «May Allah grant His mercy to whoever prays four Rak’as before
Asr Obligatory Prayer». We all wish to have the mercy of Allah the Almighty. Thereafter,
read Quran until the start of Asr Prayer.
- After performing Asr Prayer, make the invocations, and if there is any preaching
lesson after prayer in the Masjed, it is recommended to attend such lesson. The ever
best worship in Ramadan is reading Quran, but if you can combine it with other types
of worships, it will be good.
- After finishing hearing the lesson in the Masjed, try to read Quran. Abu Huraira, may
Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: {The
servant is constantly in prayer so long as he is in a place of worship waiting for the
prayer (to be observed in congregation), and the angels invoke (blessings upon him in
these words): O Allah ! pardon him. O Allah ! show mercy to him, (and they continue to
do so) till he returns (from the mosque having completed the prayer) or his ablution
breaks}. Narrated by Muslim.
8
9. Before Maghrib Prayer:
- Return back to home 15 minutes before Maghrib Prayer and make
ablution (Wudou’).
- Make the afternoon invocations at this time and try to increase invocations,
glorification and asking forgiveness from Allah. Allah the Almighty said:
{Therefore (O Muhammad) bear with what they say, and hymn the praise of thy Lord
before the rising and before the setting of the sun}. (39), Qaf.
- The invocations and supplications of the faster, when Maghrib enters and the
faster break his fasting, will surely be fulfilled by Allah the almighty; therefore, exploit
this precious time.
- Try before Maghrib Prayer to provide food for other fasters, because the one who
provides food for a faster to break his fastness will have merits as much as the faster
has; therefore, try to do this good deed on daily basis.
- As for women at afternoon period, Allah the Almighty will reward and compensate
them for the time spent in preparing food for fasters. It is highly recommended to
exploit the time of preparing food in asking forgiveness, praising Allah, asking peace
and blessings from Allah the Almighty to the Prophet, peace be upon him and they can
hear breaching cassettes or Quran.
Maghrib Prayer
- Upon hearing Athan of Maghrib Prayer, it is highly recommended to break fasting
immediately because the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: {The people will continue
to prosper as long as they hasten the breaking of the fast (Fatour) and deferred the
last-night meal (Sahour) – up to short period before dawn} and say (Thirst gone a
way, the veins absorbed water and the reward is attained under the will of Allah) upon
breaking his fasting.
- Following up Sunnah deeds upon breaking fasting by eating ripe dates, if any;
otherwise, dried dates, if any; otherwise, water. Try to make the meal very light so that
you can pray early as much as possible (And ask reward of Allah in eating and resting
by remembering that you are taking food to be active in worshiping Allah).
- Repeat after Athan.
- Make invocations and supplications between Athan and Iqama.
- Perform the regular Sunnah prayer after Maghrib ; two Rak’as.
9
10. Isha’ Prayer (Night Prayer)
- Go early to Isha’ prayer, before 20 minutes, and exploit such time
in reading Quran. It is recommended to read the same verses which will
be recited by the Imam in Tarawih Prayer (Night Prayers after Isha’ Prayer)
and repeat the verses which have impact upon you (This will help you to be
more humble in prayer).
- Repeat after Athan.
- Make supplications and invocations between Athan and Iqama.
- Perform Isha’ Prayer. Muslim narrated that Othman Bin Affan, may Allah be
pleased with him, said: I heard the Prophet, peace be upon him, saying: {He who
observed the ‹Isya› prayer in congregation, it was as if he prayed up to the midnight,
and he who prayed the morning prayer in congregation, it was as if he prayed the
whole night}
- Make the glorifications and invocations after finishing Isha’ Prayer.
- Performing Post-Isha’ Sunnah prayer (two Rak’as).
- Performing Tarawih prayer with the Imam until he finishes «The one who prays
with the Imam until he finishes will have as much reward as much the one who prayed
the whole night»; therefore, take care not to waste the reward of full-night-prayer by
applying this Hadith.
After Tarawih
- Go to home directly to continue eating your food and try to follow the prophetic deeds
by eating small quantities of food, because the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
«There is no harm as serious as filling stomach with food; it is enough to eat as little bites
as enough to keep body active, and if it hard for you, then at least make one third for food,
one third for drink and the last third for breathing well» Narrated by Ahmad (4132), and
corrected by Al-Albani in Sahih Aj-Jame’ (5674).
- Spend the balance time in doing other types of good deeds, like visiting your relatives,
reading interpretation of Quran, reading the prophetic biography, propagating the way
of Islam, visiting sick people, helping the needy, attending preaching lessons ….
- Remember Allah and make invocations in all spare times, while going and coming
from Masjid, going outside the home, returning back to it, and while wearing clothes,
before sleeping … etc. (Refer to Muslim Fortification “Hisn Al-Muslim”).
10

you are sleeping to get energy for worship and, thereby, sleeping will be
deemed a worship and Allah will reward you even while sleeping.
Tahajjud (Late Night Prayer)
- Wake up in the last third of night and perform prayers. The invocations and
supplications will definitely be responded by Allah and the good deeds will be accepted.
Sahour (Last Night Meal)
- Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet, peace be upon
him sent Abu Mousa and brigade to sea, when the brigade raised the sail in a dark
night, a person cried saying: Shall I advise you about a promise made by Allah the
Almighty? Abu Mousa said: Tell us. He said then: Allah the Almighty promised the one
who fasts and suffers thirst in a sunny day to quench his thirst at the Day of Thirst i.e. the
Day of Judgment. Other narration stated: «Allah will reward the one who fasts in a hot
day and suffers thirst by quenching his thirst at the Day of Judgment». Al-Munthiri said
that this Hadith was narrated by Al-Bazzar by good series of narrators and Al-Albani
said it is good in Sahih At-Targhib (10/412).
11
12. Don’t Forget

pray along the month of Ramadan by increasing worships, especially
