🌙WELCOME O RAMADAN!

So as the moon is sighted and Ramadan is born,what's your plan to make through the most of this incredibly blessed month?
Uhm..to go with the flow?like praying salah only when others are doing,reciting Qur'an like you've got a commitment,  thinking whole day of the delicious foods for iftar;
Is this Ramadan too passing away like that?? Then, a very significant loss indeed.
Think,WHY Allah blessed this month so much;What's the whole purpose?
He says:

O you who have believed,decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous.

So the whole reason behind fasting from food and water,idle talks,lying,backbiting is that we gain taqwa;is that we become more close to our Rabb. Ask yourself, had that been the case with you last year and in the previous years? If we didnt gain what we are supposed to what is the whole purpose of abstaining yourself from all those things? Ponder over.Ramadan only comes once in a year.It is a great opportunity for us to be a better person than we are.
"Ramaḍān is taken from the word ramad which means that which is intensely or vehemently heated by the sun.  And the word ramdhaa means the intense heat of the sun. [The Arabs used to say about] the sheep that they were 'burned (ramidat) while they were grazing under the scorching heat of the sun to the extent that their livers became damaged (by the intense heat of the sun). Ramaḍān was named such because it burns the sins of the believers."[1]-Imam ar Raghib
So this is the month we are to burn our sins and replace it with good deeds.Be ready for the change,for that you might need to put effort by eliminating all the bad thoughts,in sha Allah.
An added advantage( among all other incredible andantages) in this month is that Allah multiplies our good to 70.He has made easy way for the weighing of our hasanaat out of His mercy. It feels to me like,He somehow wants you to get into Jannah.So,shouldn't we show that we are worth it and Don't we want to see Him pleased with us?(Think about His status)

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ascended the pulpit and he said, “Ameen, ameen, ameen.” It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, you ascended the pulpit and said ameen, ameen, ameen.” The Prophet said, “Verily, Gabriel came to me and he said: Whoever reaches the month of Ramadan and he is not forgiven, then he will enter Hellfire and Allah will cast him far away, so say ameen. I said ameen. Whoever sees his parents in their old age, one or both of them, and he does not honor them and he dies, then he will enter Hellfire and Allah will cast him far away, so say ameen. I said ameen. Whoever has your name mentioned in his presence and he does not send blessings upon you and he dies, then he will enter Hellfire and Allah will cast him far away, so say ameen. I said ameen.”

-scary indeed.

And there's this man,a teen,who died the day before Ramadan (whoever hears this might exclaim: "A great loss!",think about how you've utilised your time in ramadan when Allah has presented it to you). So do you know what his friends said about him- every Ramadan he  used to procastinate,he used to tell them that his next Ramadan would be his turning point.That he will utilise his next ramadan.Everytime (who does he sounds of? May Allah forgive him and grant us hidaya)so my dearest readers,dont neglect this Ramadan.Allah has given you a great opportunity and He also knows that you've got this reminder. Only Allah knows how long we live.Its high time that we stop neglecting this truth.
Prepare this Ramadan like it's your last.WIN IT!! 

#Assalamu alaika ya shahr ramadan
