After Ramadan
The Holy month of Ramadaan came like seasonal rain and
passed by. This rain did not water the plants and
crops -it showered upon the hearts of believers. It is
sad, but true, that the hearts of the majority of
Muslims are stricken with spiritual drought and
spiritual decadence.
It is a drought caused by excessive indulgence in
un-Islamic activities, immoral
behaviour, unjust actions, unfair dealings etc.
Drought caused by lack of rain destroys crops -drought
caused by lack of piety, lack of fear of Allah and
lack of Allah consciousness destroys the SPIRITUALITY
of the heart.
Ramadaan's spiritual rains brought to life the
Masaajid and other prayer places. Ramadaan had fanned
the dying spark of charity .Ramadaan had awakened the
dying spirit of tolerance, patience and sympathy for
the less fortunate.
Now that we come to the end of Ramadaan the big
question is what to do? Did we go through all the
spiritual exercises in Ramadaan in order that we may
have the freedom to indulge, on Eid day, in all types
of immoral, shameless and indecent amusement? Did we
restrain ourselves from halaal food, drinks and other
pleasures from dawn to sunset throughout Ramadaan, so
that we may return with renewed vigour to gambling,
drinking, adultery and fornication? Will the spirit of
tolerance, mercy, patience, charity and sympathy be
still evident or will these noble qualities be shelved
until the dawn of the next Ramadaan?
Will the Masajids which were filled on most nights in
Ramadaan remain the same or will they become empty
wondering where the faithful have gone? Our lifetsyles
after Ramadaan will show whether we used the month to
bring about a total reformation within ourselves or
are we going to waste the valuable opportunity?
The National and international position of the Muslim
communities leaves much to be desired. Muslims are
lamenting the loss of lives, destruction of property,
oppression, tyranny, injustice and a host of other
problems all over the world. They are wondering why
the promised help of Allah to the believers is nowhere
in sight. Just one glance into the lifestyles of the
overwhelming majority of the Muslims is sufficient to
answer the question. Millions of Muslims do not have
much to their credit besides Muslim names.
Allah's help comes with action and Islamic qualities
-not with names or faces - Arabs or non-Arabs, African
or European, Chinese or Indians. On the other hand
every group, organization, society or individual who
talks Islam, seems to have got its own brand of Islam.
The Islamic teachings which were left behind for us,
crystal clear and pristine pure, have become so
adulterated with foreign customs, alien practices and
un-Islamic ideologies, that a new Muslim has to make
an effort to search for the Quran and Sunnah brand of
Islam or remain confused and ignorant.
May Allah Ta'ala on the occasion of Eid give us the
guidance to resolve that we shall make the Quran and
Sunnah our guiding lights and practise Islam as much
as possible. If the non-Muslim inhabitants of our
country see Islam in the lives of Muslims, they will
not require much persuasion to accept our beautiful
deen.
pray to Allah almighty to accept our worships and to
bless us all with Good Health, Peace, Prosperity and
Happiness
May Allah forgive us and help us to follow the right
way of Islam
and also help us to earn much knowledge about islam
that we can
guide ourself.Ameen...........
May Allah give us all good health so that we can use
it in His worship.
May Allah Bless you all and may He turn all your noble
thoughts, feelings, wishes and desires into reality.
May He also endow you with a very long, happy, healthy
and a fruitful life as He guides you on the path that
He wishes us to travel upon. Ameen
Remember us in your Duas & pray for all our Marhumins
