﷽
I
want us to reflect upon the purpose behind the month of Ramadhan because when
we understand the purpose behind something we have a means by which we can
measure how effective our month of Ramadan is and we can make changes to make
sure that we get the most out of this month and this purpose has been described
to us by Allah,
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ
مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
O believers!
Fasting is prescribed for you—as it was for those before you1—so perhaps you will become mindful ˹of Allah˺.
(Quran chapter
2 verse 183)
taqwa (piety) is to do as much as you can to become
more obedient to Allah and less disobedient to Allah so the more obedience you
do the more prayers the more fasting the more Prayer you know more hope you
have in Allah the more love you have for Allah and the less disobedience the
less Haram the less backbiting and lying and the less harm income and the less
harm actions and the less looking at her arm and listening to her on the less
of that you do and the more obedience you do the closer you become towards piety so Allah told us this month has been established
for us and prescribed for us so that we can become more obedient to Allah and less
disobedient towards Allah and so we have to ask ourselves throughout the month
he is there one of Ramadan day two of Ramadan day three of Ramadan am I
becoming more obedient to Allah unless disobedient to Allah and if that is the
case then we need more of the same if you find that there's some disobedience
creeping in after Maghrib we need to take that out because Ramadan is a
training program to become more obedient to Allah and less disobedient to Allah
and so we need to use this as our objective we need to walk through this month
and go through this month with this idea in mind that we are trying to become
trained to be more obedient and less disobedient and we need to have the
intention of this obedience and this avoiding the Haram is something that will
last us beyond Ramadan because there's no point in us becoming obedient and
then leaving that on the day our aid we want to be a people who inshallah start
off with the intention of making a permanent change to become a better Muslim.
let us reach the month of Ramadan
allow us to witness oh Allah allow us to witness the month of Ramadan it's not
yet Ramadan I may die before Ramadan and that's a reality I may who knows may
Allah grant us all make it easy for us may Allah give us Paradise but in the
case where we don't make it to Ramadan because Allah has taken us away guess
what you will have a full reward of everything you seriously intended to do
because definitely all your actions are judged by their underlying intentions
so the Hadith says whoever intends to do good and was unable to do it Allah
writes a reward for that person Subhan Allah so you will get a reward for
whatever you intended to do but couldn't do it and if you end up doing it and
Ramadan comes you will actually have a multiplied reward in that particular
case look at the mercy of Allah so this is why it's always good when you have
an opportunity to think about what you want to do to plan it to plan it out in
a beautiful way so that you're serious about it to start thinking about how
you're going to be spending Ramadan and inshallah how we're going to be making
an umrah may Allah open that door for us as well to say Amen Subhan Allah and
how we're going to be spending the days in Salah and reading the Quran and how
many times we'd like to complete the recitation of the Quran how we want to
improve our tajweed and so on make the plans from now and start intending these
things so that you have a full reward even in the case where you haven't made
it to the month of Ramadan and Allah takes you away before that and even if
you're you become ill or sick during those days and you are unable to fulfill
what you intended to fulfill you will still have a full reward of what you
planned to do Subhan Allah amazing isn't it so this is the beauty of the month
of Ramadan and planning for it and if Allah allows us to witness Ramadan and we
happen to be able to fulfill what we planned even if it wasn't to the full
extent we will still have a reward and a multiplied reward for everything we
were able to do may Allah forgive our shortcomings and grant us the ability to
fulfill this in an amazing way so one of the most beautiful things we need to
start doing now in preparation from Avant is to start intending making Nia and
start planning and start promising that inshallah I'm going to do this and
inshallah this year I want to do that I'm going to change my life I'm going to
do this and do that and you know what you can start with a few of these things
now don't wait for don't wait for Ramadan because we might not see it and we
still want an increased reward show Allah that we are serious about these beautiful
promises that we're making may Allah bless you all spread this message far and
wide because when you spread a message anyone who follows what you've said you
get a full reward of whatever they've planned to do in Ramadan how cool is that
Subhan Allah may Allah bless you all and grant us all the ability to understand
that time is flying we don't know how long we have to live people are falling
ill passing away.
(Allah knows better)
"May Allah reward you [with]
goodness."
