Ramadan - Lucky to get it...

Well I should have had a Ramadan post much before than this but I guess its never to late to talk about this Blessed Month. The month in which you have the best chance of asking for forgiveness of our sins and with the big-time treasure chest of forgiveness available with Allah, you can actually expect to get forgiveness as well.

When believing that the time of death has been written the day we were born, it could come any time and then talking about getting the opportunity of one more Ramadan it sure is the topic of asking "Are we lucky or are we lucky?" Just think about the unfortunate who die just before Ramadan and according to this concept the ideal time for death is right before the end of Ramadan :) but you cant ask for death, thats a sin also.

The devil is kept behind closed doors during this month but guess what, we still have the urge to waste time and still commit sin, or things that are not liked by Allah. It makes you wonder did the devil find a backdoor and still manage to divert us from right....well NO!, it is only due to our training the whole year that we find it difficult to utilize this blessed month.

With so many opportunities waiting to be taken, every good deed counting for 70 times, every NAFL getting the level of FARZ, its just amazing, how much one could gather? It could never be enough after all the sins we committed the past year now would it? Sigh...

I think the best thing that we can do use, firstly utilize the month to the full and aim for the forgiveness more easily available than normal days and secondly try and continue the routine that we have in this month. Taraweeh, Tilawat, Tahajjud...and also the basic things such as keeping away from lies, fraud, during fasting...continue it further in the year as well as much as possible. If you feel like losing your way...FAST for a few days as NAFL and you can get back on track. Its possible...I am going to try it this year...

May Allah give us the strength and focus to walk along on the path He likes...and help us gain the maximum from this Holy Month of Ramadan....AAMEEN...
