How to lead our lives after Ramadhan

How to lead our lives after Ramadhan

 

The way we performed good deeds in Ramadhan, in the same way, we should continue with them after Ramadhan ends as well.

 

Ramadhan – Month of spiritual training

 

It is compulsory for us to spend our lives in performing good deeds and piety.  Being a Muslim, it is our responsibility that we should follow the commandments of Almighty Allah and the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), that we should offer Salaat 5 times a day, that we should recite the Holy Quran.  In the month of Ramadhan, we were spiritually trained.  While fasting, we always kept in mind that Almighty Allah is watching us.  This was the only reason why the person who fasts would be in a closed room restless with hunger, but would not dare to have something; because he/she was sure that even if nobody sees me, my Lord is watching me, He is not unaware of me.

 

The reason for this spiritual training was that even after Ramadhan, we should always keep ourselves in this state and should always keep in mind that our Lord Almighty is seeing us.  Then even our feet will not turn towards dens of vice and where it is not allowed to go.  The tongue will never busy itself in lewd and useless talk, the hands will never do something against the Shariah and the eye will never dare to see anything indecent.

 

No excuse on the Day of Judgment

 

After this great spiritual training, on the Day of Judgment, nobody can give the excuse that we committed sins because of our base self (Nafs) and Satan, as in this 1 month, Satan was imprisoned and through the fasts, the Self was disciplined, through Taraweeh and the recitation of the Holy Quran, the spiritual energy and power was increased.  The way soldiers are trained and sent to the borders to defend the country against enemies, in the same way to defend the sanctuary of faith, which is populated with good deeds, human beings were trained, so that Satan can't destroy the faith and beliefs.

 

We saw off Ramadhan, not the blessings of Ramadhan

 

We have seen off Ramadhan, but we have not sent away the blessings of Ramadhan.  The way, we performed good deeds in Ramadhan, in the same way, we should perform them in other months and days and we should pray to Almighty Allah that like Ramadhan,, we should spend the rest of the year performing good deeds in the shade of the Mercy of Almighty Allah, that we should be guided, that we should be protected from committing sins and for the sake of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), we should stay away from sins and help us to become pious and save us from every evil.  Aameen
