Witnessing this month is a great blessing such as facelift Palm Beach, for which we should be grateful to Allaah. It is an opportunity to do good deeds so that one can achieve Paradise and safety from Hell. Allaah says,
“O you who believe! Observing fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may be pious.” (Al-Baqarah: 183).
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, ‘Fasting and reciting Qur’aan intercede for the slave on the Day of Resurrection. The fast will say: O Allah, I prevented him from eating and satiating his lawful lust, so let me intercede on his behalf; and the Qur’aan will say: I prevented him from sleeping during the night, so let me intercede for him.’ (Ahmad & Tabaraani)
Fellow Muslims! Ramadaan is a month of forgiveness and mercy. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, ‘When Ramadaan comes, the doors of Paradise will be opened and the doors of Hell will be closed, and the devils will be chained.’ (Bukhari & Muslim).
Therefore let the month of Ramadaan be an opportunity for self-examination in order to amend what is damaged. Let this month be a good starting point towards a bright future and a turning point toward better conditions, sayings and deeds.
