Let us not come out of Ramadaan with all our bad habits still pretty much intact, our goals in life still attached to this quick passing world and our relationship with our Lord still the worst and most neglected of all relationships...
May Allah make this month a source for us entering into the Paradise which He Most High has created for us. Remember, the ordainment for fasting came after 15 years of RasoolAllah(saw) being given Prophethood.. It was in Medina, the time was the Historic Battle of Badr. The Muslims were the weakest and most vulnerable. And then comes the commandment to fast on hot long days. This was because fasting is not to tire the body by starving it, but to give the soul emmense power. And what is the human being other than a soul imprisoned in a cage of flesh and bones.
The Ummah is in the same condition as it was 1400 years ago. We are at our lowest point, with the entire world ganging up against us. We have a collective Badr to fight along with our personal Badrs in our Life.
So let us all try to make this Ramadaan a source of that spiritual strength which will sail us through this ocean of life. Like a drowning person cannot be helped unless he puts his hand out, similarly we need to put our hand out to Allah.."whoever has held on to the hand of Allah, has surely held a strong handhold" (Quran)
May Allah write us amongst His most beloved slaves!
May Allah make us amongst those who are the closest to Him on the Day of Judgement!
May Allah make us drink from the Fountain of Kauthar in the close company of our Messenger Muhammad (saw)!
Ameen.
Remember me in your duas :)
