THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawmul Ahad. 5th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Sunday 14th April 2024).
SO WHAT NEXT AFTER RAMADHAN BismilLaah.
AlhamdulilLah for guiding us all through the blessed month of Ramadhan.
What Have We Gained From Ramadhan? Ramadhan is a school of eeman and a 'stop to recharge one's spiritual batteries' - to acquire one's provision for the rest of the year... For when will one take a lesson and change for better if not in the month of Ramadhan? The noble month is a true school of transformation in which we change our actions, habits, and manners that are in variance with the Law of ALLAH 'azza wa jall. Verily, ALLAH does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. (Qur'an 13:11).
If you are from those who benefited from Ramadhan, fulfilled the requirements of taqwa, truly fasted the month, prayed in it with truthfulness, and strove against your soul, then praise and thank ALLAH, and ask HIM for steadfastness upon it until you meet your death. Be not like one who has sewn a shirt and then destroyed it. Or have you seen one who earns a fortune trading throughout the day, then when the night comes, he throws away all that he earned. What would people say about such a person?! This is the condition of one who returns to sinning and evildoing after Ramadhan and leaves obedience and righteous actions. Do not abandon or stop reciting the Qur'an. It is our guidance in life. To be continued in Shaa ALLAH.
May ALLAH keep guiding us and protect us from going back to our bad days. Aameen.
