[/b]"The month of Ramadhan is the month of God (bringing) His blessings,mercy and forgiveness." (Holy Prophet)
THE month of Ramadhan gives us a chance to start life afresh.Muslims should make resolutions during this month to act upon during the year.This is the month when emotions remain under the control of reason.Thoughts,in this month are not wild,feelings not hard.Forgiveness,Generosity and Love of God through the Love of His creatures are infused in our souls.Naturally,it is the best time to decide how are we going to live in the coming year.We should know what do we want to achieve and how?
Why not start making your programme just now?And when you have completed the list of your ambitions,here is a simple test to see how much you have benefited from the fasts of the month of Ramadhan.
Do your resolutions include such items as helping the needy (not just by handing a few shillings,but,by helping him to stand on his own feet?) Have you thought of showing more respect to the elders,loving more tenderly those who are younger? Is there anything concerning your neighbours and friends? Have you any inclination to forgive your enemies? Have you resolved to live more honestly and more sincerely? And above all, is there room for God and His Prophet (s.a.w) in your thoughts and programmes?
If the answer is YES,accept my CONGRATULATIONS, you are a real muslim.You know the meaning of the fast of Ramadhan.
If on the other hand,the answer is in negative,there is some need of improvement in your faith.And if you really want your faith to be more perfect...time is never lost.Though the month of Ramadhan is coming to its end very soon,you may still take its advantage.There is no need to feel sorry for yourself.If you really want the love of God,it is yours for asking.It is the easiest goal to reach and the most difficult.It all depends,not so much on the path,as on the traveller.If your heart is pure,it is the easiest thing in the world,if you want to put the love of God ina corrupted heart,it is just impossible.
As is clear from the tradition of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) quoted above,this is a month of blessings,month of mercy and month of forgiveness.If anybody wants these benefits,he should strive for it,with more zeal and more sencerity in the remaining few days of this holy month.If we spend our time in remembering Allah,praying for His Love,repenting for our sins,we can be sure that God will bless us with His Love and His Mercy.
