﷽
Have we Really Changed?
Ramadhan is an opportunity
Those who don’t seize this opportunity.
If a person doesn’t change in Ramadhan, when will they change?
Allah ﷻ says
وَ أَنَّهُ هُوَ أَمَاتَ وَ أَحيَا
And that it is He who causes death and gives life.
[53:44]
He caused other than you to die before Ramadhan,
And He gave you life to make you aware of Ramadhan,
_
Allah ﷻ Has allowed us to reach Ramadhan and half way through it!
Let us reflect and ask ourselves,
Have we really taken advantage of the days that have passed?
Have we taken advantage of the Rahma that is descending upon us in this month?
_
Will we be truthful with ourselves,
With regards to our abilities?
Or are we going to make up excuses in order to not make use of this Month?
_
What will we put forth?
Those who will regret on Qiyamah will cry out,
يٰلَيتَنِي قَدَّمتُ لِحَيَاتِي
Oh woe to me! I wish I had put forth my life!
[89:24]
_
So Remember this quote from Ali رضي الله عنه
اليوم عمل و لا حساب و غدا حساب و لا عمل
Today is actions without accounting and tomorrow is accounting without anymore actions.
_
What actions have we done, in order for our books to be in our right hand and for our accounting to be easy,
What actions have we done for the opposite?
_
So let us follow the Ayah,
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَلْتَنظُرْ نَفْسٌۭ مَّا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدٍۢ ۖ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ
Oh you who believe! Fear Allah and look to yourselves and what you have put forward for tomorrow and fear Allah!
[59:18]
_
Let us follow the straight path, and seize this opportunity in order to come out of as
Muslims who are closer to Allah ﷻ!
_
The best of creation Muhammad ﷺ said Ameen to the Du’a made by the most noble of the Angels honoured by Allah ﷻ, Jibreel عليه السلام!
And what was this Du’a?
Whoever reaches the month of Ramadan and he is not forgiven, then he will enter Hellfire and Allah will cast him far away!
[Ṣahiḥ Ibn Hibban 915, Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani]
Would this Du’a be rejected ever?
