Short Writting 2: A Half Month of Ramadan

   بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ 

In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful

 

Hi there,

I hope you are doing well there. Alhamdulillah we reach again Ramadan this year and may we can still meet ramadan in years to come, Aamiin..

Today is April 17 2022, which means it is already Day 15 of ramadan and In Sha Allah we still have a half month to finish it. May we can give our best before this holy month left us :((( Aamiin

You know, sometimes I feel like I haven’t give the best of me on this blessed month, and If you also feel same, so let’s start again to make the best deeds, the best ibadah to Allah in this blesssed month. We still have time to fix our ibadah, to firm our intentions. 

Let’s make these steps to do the best in this half ramadan In Sha Allah:

First, Let’s fix our salah. It’s all our problem to pray on time :(

If you are already a person who prays on time, Ma Sha Allah, May Allah make it consitent for you Aamiin..

But for me, it’s little bit hard especially for salah zuhr cause i was still busy either in work or me time (rest after work) ,etc. Let’s we try again and again to fix our salah. It’s not easy but if we have intention, In Sha Allah He will help us to pray on time. And in this Ramadan, don’t forget to maximize our ibadah by doing another salat sunna such as, qabliyah fajr, duha, tahajjud, taraweeh, witir, and rawatib prayer. In Sha Allah..

Ramadan is a month of qur’an,

“(It is) the month of Ramadan in which the Qur’an was revealed as a guidance for mankind, clear proofs, giving guidance, and the Criterion for distinguishing right and wrong, So whoever of you witness this month, let him fast it.” (2:185)

If we used to read qur’an 1 page in a day, let’s increase it with read the qur’an at least 2 pages or more in a day. If we used to give charity once in a week, let’s do our maximum effort to give charity daily. No matter how much u spend to share it to the needy, even if it’s less but if u do it constantly and sincerely, It’s actually loved by Allah.

Abu Hurairah reported; The Messenger of Allah, Peace and blessings be upon him, said,

‘Take up good deeds only as much as you are able, for the best deeds are those done regularly even if they few.”

Another hadith about fasting ad qur’an is mentioned below,

Prophet ‎Muhammad PBUH also said: Fasting and the Quran will intercede on behalf of Allah’s servant on the Day of Judgment: Fasting will say, “O my Lord! I prevented him from food and desires during the day, so accept my intercession for him.” And the Quran will say, “O my Lord! I prevented him from sleeping by night, so accept my intercession for him.” The intercession of both will thus be accepted.

Another acts of good deeds that will increase our reward in this blessed month are  helping our mom in kitchen or preparing for iftar and sahoor, making so much zikr especially in the morning and evening, reading islamic books, helping people if they need assistence, stopping from ghibah, making your friends happy, etc

You can add up some more ibadah and good deeds that i haven’t  listed it above. 

Don’t forget that Allah will see your effort even if it’s small. He will surely reward you for your efforts. So never think that you are loser, never think He is unpleasant with you. As long as u and I are trying, He will always see and reward it.

 

I hope we can use our time to make this blessed month more meaningful so that we can still continue our good habits and deeds after ramadan. And May this ramadan can change us to be better, May our ibadah and deeds are accepted by Allah.  

May Allah be pleased with us, and May He give is Rahmah (Mercy) on us, so that we can enter His jannah without hisab. Aamiin Ya Rabb..
