Ya Allah, through Your mercy these blessed days and nights are upon us, please grant us tawfeeq to study the blessed language of Your book; place barakah in our studies and in the respect for our elders, and make this a means of progression for Your sake alone. Ameen.

Just as we may wake up tomorrow, rub our eyes, and think about the day that is ahead of us...one day Allah swt will wake us up and in that same state we will have to think about how we will answer Him.

SaHa - yaSHu (SaHw) - To wake up.
