Assalamualaikum WarahmatuAllah hi wabarakaatuhu!
Although I am very happy and blessed to be alive during this month and enjoying all the blessings and Rahmah of Allah subhanaAllah wa Ta'ala and having to have all the mercies possible, Alhumdulillah, there is some kind of sadness in my heart.
Even after all the ibaadat is being done, I realized something that no matter how much ibaadah we do for the sake of Allah, it is never enough. Which is why it makes me feel as if I am not doing enough! subhanaAllah! How can it be enough when Allah is the Supreme Deity of the Universes? He deserves much more than that. The most amazing and mind boggling ne'mat is that He has prescribed for us these small number of things to do, like Pray Salat, give Zakat, enjoin good and forbid evil, be the best to your parents, maintain relationships with kins, help the needy, sick, poor, way traveler and neighbors, speak good words to one another, do hijab with your soul and body and abstain from Shirk, Murder, Fornication, evil heinous sins, wasting time. If you think about it, these are very little things. Then WHY can't we simply follow these? Why? What is the reason?
It really upsets me for myself and for others as well who don't seem to be practicing in this Blessed Month of Ramadan as it is meant to be practiced. Of course majority of us are striving hard enough but then why aren't we achieving the goal of achieving total Taqwa?
It really saddens me because this month there are no devils. We should be happy that the devils are chained up right? But what saddens me is every one of us has that devil within us which is let lose to do whatever we like and not fear Allah! :( AstagfiraAllah! We need to purify our souls, mind and heart from our inner devil. in sha Allah!
This is the month especially for us to train to fear Allah and remember that He is watching and Seeing us. We not only have to abstain from the haram but also from the halal. (which btw is an amazing training formula for the ones who really want to heighten their iman and taqwa levels, or simply not sin)
It really saddens me because not only me but many are victims to this. Many say that they simply can't change, they simply can't give up their sins. What really makes me wanna do is applaud shaitaan for his wonderful job and this is out of hatred.... I am not talking about sins exactly but bad habits like watching t.v seriels, movies, gossiping, bad language, playing games all day waiting for the fast to just get over with, browsing internet all day long, chatting all day with friends, praying late, fighting with one another, cursing, lying, eating A LOT, sleeeeping for half of the fast and waking up 2-3 hours before the fast is over, facebooking & tweeting all day, uploading pictures and begging for attention and compliments. I don't really understand facebook and never will. We have to strive hard to give up these bad habits (or sins once they are done repeadtedly) because if not this month then which month are you going to drop it? Sigh! May Allah save us from this. Ameen
What also upsets me is that I see Muslims, in Syria, Palestine and other oppressed Muslim countries, fasting with no or very little food around. How can they do it when they have nothing except of Tawakkul Allah, when on the other hand we have everything, wasting half our day preparing for numerous kinds of meals just for ourselves and not even the poor? This is a disaster!
What really upsets me is that time is passing by so quickly that almost half of Ramadan is gone! Yes people its gone! What have you really done? I mean other than for yourself, what have you really done for others? Did you advice others to do good? Did you help your neighbors or even mingle up with them? Did you read enough Qur'an that you at least understood some of the ayats? Are you planning on giving your Zakat ul fitr this year? [Women and men who work and have had savings, gold or silver for at least one year and have it more than the nisaab (required amount), has to pay Zakat ul Fitr before Eid prayers. Just an off topic reminder]
Please continue to strive harder and harder and seek forgiveness from Allah as much as you can. Do your best. Worship as it is your last Ramadan and believe that you are going to die anytime and time is ticking. Pray to Allah to remove your bad habits and make you steadfast as a Muslim. Prepare yourself from now itself for your last ten days of Ramadan. What are you going to do and how will you be managing your time for the Qiyam ul layl and say In sha Allah after you've intended. Also, remember me in your duwas.
May Allah forgive all our sins and grant us Jannatul Firdous! Ameen
