REPAIR YOUR SOUL, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF RAMADAN

                                       

Bismillahi rahamani raheem.

Salam alaykum brothers and sisters in islam, we are grateful to Almighty Allah for the privilege given to us to be part of His ummah to witness yet another blessed month (RAMADAN).

Before we go further, I believe we are all aware of the abundant rewards and blessings during the holy month of ramadan. But the question is, are we ready to make use of this great opportunity? Especially some of us at verge of being conquered by the spirit of ashaitan (lahanatullahi allahy). The sins we have committed in the past year is not beyond forgiveness no matter how weighty they may seems. This is the promise of Allah so as long as after seeking forgiveness from Him, we will remain

steadfast to doing good deeds and never go back to our vomits.

“Say to those who are kafir that if they stop, they will be forgiven what is past; but if they return to it, they have the pattern of previous peoples in the past. (Surat Al-Anfal, 38)”

“Except for those who repent and believe and act rightly: Allah will transform the wrong actions of such people into good Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful (Surat Al-Furqan, 70)”

 Brother, have you ever thought of not repenting due to the gravity of your sins because you think you can never be forgiven by Allah (SWT). I have this good news for you, Allah is ready to forgive you and the time is now. So, don’t wait a minute before you start the act of teqwa (fear of ALLAH) in everything you do from now on. This is the right time for you as we are in the holy month of Ramadan when you get multiple rewards of every good deed. NO excuse!

“The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “Whoever draws near to Allah during it (Ramadan) with a single characteristic from the characteristics of (voluntary) goodness, he is like whoever performs an obligatory act in other times. And whoever performs an obligatory act during it, he is like whoever performed seventy obligatory acts in other times.” (Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah, no. 1887)”

You may engage yourself in various acts of good characters such as reciting the Holy Qur’an, giving to the needy and doing other charitable works. By doing all these during the blessed month, you are not only being forgiven of all your sins but also, your soul is being repaired and as you sustain the good deeds, you tends be elevated spiritually.

After reading through this, I hope you take the swift step toward repairing your soul, engross yourself in the act of teqwa and spiritual elevation. May Almighty Allah (SWT) give you and I the inspiration to sustain our good deeds beyond the period of Ramadan. Amin.

Salam Alaykum.
