Bismillah Alhamdulillah was salaatu was salam `alaa Rasoolillah
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatu Allah

The season for obedience for Muslims comes throughout the
whole year. It is through the mercy of Allah SWT that makes
the Muslims close to Allah during those seasons. And the
season for disobedience comes like darkness, and Allah SWT
gives chances so one might repent and come back to Him
SWT. Every intelligent and smart person takes advantage of
the opportunity of those seasons. Ramadan is a witness for
you or against you. The month of Ramadan is the best month
of the year. Alhamdulillah the Muslims have been the ones
specified for the bounties of this special month throughout
the centuries. Sins are forgiven, gratitude is increased, the
believer is protected from the Shaytan, and good deeds are
sought and multiplied. My dear brothers and sisters, this
blessed month only stays for a few days and then will leave
us either as a witness for us or a witness against us. So we
should not leave a second or a single moment in this month
without beneficial action and obedience.
Surat al-Mutaffifin [83:26]
Allah SWT says


..and for this let (all) those
strive who want to strive
(hasten to the obedience of Allah)

So my dear brothers and sisters, So my dear brothers and sisters, So my dear brothers and sisters, So my dear brothers and sisters,
you have to be really ready to welcome this month,
competing throughout this month, and striving to
perform the following acts:

1. Having a loyal and sincere Tawbah
to Allah SWT. Your soul, your nafs,
should be ready to welcome this
month with good deeds and
good amal, because Allah SWT
will help a person if the person is
ready to obey Him.

Allah SWT says in Surat Taha [20:82]
; = , | = - - = | ` _ - | _ ,
And verily, I am indeed forgiving
to him who repents, believes (in
My Oneness, and associates
none in worship with Me) and
does righteous good deeds, and
then remains constant in doing
them.
you have to be really ready to welcome this month,
competing throughout this month, and striving to

2. Prepare the intention that
Ramadan is only but a few days,
and will run very fast. And it
might be the last Ramadan for
you, you never know. So take
advantage of this blessed month
and be of those who make the
beautiful duaa from the Quran:

| - . - -\ | _ - . - , =| _ , _
_| = = -
Our Lord! Grant us good in this world
and good in the hereafter, and save
us from the chastisement of the fire.
Surat al-Baqara [2:201]

3.Taking advantage to purify your
soul and clean your soul, and
make it a habit to worship Allah
SWT.

Allah says in Surat ar-Rad [13:11]
, , . | , - , - , _ - ; , , - , - , | -| . ,
Verily! Allah will not change the
condition of a people as long as they
do not change their state them-
selves.

4. Have the feeling that Allah
SWT is watching over you,
watching over your
actions. Think about the
names and attributes of
Allah SWT, such as Al-Baseer
(The All-Seeing), Ash-Shaheed
(The Witness), Al-Muhit (The
All-Pervading ), Ar-Raqib
(The Watchful), As-Sami (The
All-Hearing). Think about
them during your fasting
and your Tahajjud. Protect
your tongue, and your
hearing and your vision,
and all your body parts
from any disobedient acts.

Allah SWT says in Surat Qaf
[50:18]
` =, - ` ., | _ - , = | | , , , | - = , -

Not a word does he utter
but there is a watcher by
him ready (to record it).

5. Abundantly mention Allah SWT
just like the Prophet sallAllahu alayhi
wasallam advised the man to
make his tongue always wet
from the Dhikr of Allah SWT.
Read the Quran with under-
standing, comprehension and
Kushoo, for the Quran will come as
an intercessor for you on the
day of Judgment.

The Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wasallam
said "Read the Quran. For verily
it will come forth on the Day of
Resurrection as an intercessor
(shafee) for its readers." [Muslim]

Ibn Abbas radiy Allahu anhu stated
that reading one Surah with
Tafseer and understanding, is
more loved by him than to read
the whole entire Quran. Imam
Malik rahimahullah said when the
month of Ramadan entered the
people of hadith and learning
would leave and they would go
and read the Quran.

6. Search for the best moments and timing
for making ad-Duaa.

A. During the time of Iftar. The Prophet
sallAllahu alayhi wasallam said 'Three men
whose duaa is never rejected are: the
fasting person until he breaks his fast,
the just ruler and the one who is op-
pressed.' [Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi]
B. Between the Adhan and the Iqama. Anas
radiy Allahu anhu narrated that Allahs
Messenger sallAllahu alayhi wasallam said: 'A
supplication made between the Adhan
and Iqama is not rejected.'
[Ahmad, Abu Dawud, at-Tirmidhi]
C. The last third of the night. Abu
Hurairah radiy Allahu anhu narrated that
Allahs Messenger sallAllahu alayhi wasallam
said: 'In the last third of every night our
Rabb descends to the lowermost
heaven and says; "Who is calling Me,
so that I may answer him? Who is ask-
ing Me so that may I grant him? Who is
seeking forgiveness from Me so that I
may forgive him?"' [Sahih al-Bukhari]

7. Give sadaqa, and start with your family.
The Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wasallam told
us that (the reward of) our sadaqa will
remain with us after our death, and
whatever we give to our spouse or
children is a sadaqa. To leave your
family with wealth is better than to
leave them poor.

Sad ibn Abu Waqqas narrated that
Allahs Messenger sallAllahu alayhi wasal-
lam said, ...whatever you spend (for
Allahs sake) you will be rewarded
for it, even for a morsel of food which
you may put in the mouth of
your wife. [Bukhari].

Hakim ibn Hizam narrated that
the Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wasallam said:
The upper hand is better than the
lower hand, (i.e., he who
gives charity is better than him who
takes it). One should start giving first
to his dependents. [Bukhari]

8. With your active life in Ramadan,
realize that all the goodness and
the khayr during the last ten days
might fall on Laylatul qadr. When you
are making Qiyam and Tahajjud in the
last 10 days and waiting for the
Ajr, remember that Allah SWT will
never let you go without giving
you the rewards InshaAllah. Also,
following the Sunnah of the
Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wasallam is an
example for us, and the Sunnah is
to perform Itikaf in the month of
Ramadan.

The Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wasallam
said: Whoever stands in (Prayer)
in Lailatul-Qadr out of Iman and
seeking reward then his previous
sins are forgiven." [Bukhari]

9. Hasten to correct your relationship with
Allah, and fix your life when you go to Allah
SWT, even if that will cause you hardship and
increased need of Sabr. You must fix your be-
havior, your attitude, and your character with
the people. Open and clean your hearts
and forgive everyone in this blessed month.

The Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wasallam said: The
most complete of believers in Iman (faith) are
those who are best in character." [Tirmidhi]

10. Strive for Allahs mercy and forgiveness.
Woe to the ones whose sins are not forgiven
in the month of Ramadan, as Allah SWT has
distanced him from His mercy.

The Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam said:
"Whosoever reaches the month of Ramadan
and does not have his sins forgiven, and so
enters the fire, then may Allah distance
him." [Ahmad and al-Bayhaqi] Angel Jibreel
asked the Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wasallam to say
Ameen and he sallAllahu alayhi wasallam said
Ameen.

11.Remember the goal in your
life is to worship Allah SWT so
be more active in your goal
during the month of Ramadan.
When you are more active in
the month of Ramadan it will
become a part of your life for
you to keep your life and time
in the right direction, and to
compete to do whatever good
deeds that Allah SWT loves and
accepts.

The Prophet sallAllahu alayhi wasal-
lam said
"Take advantage of five matte
rs before five other matters:
your youth, before you be-
come old; and your
health, before you fall sick;
and your richness, before you
become poor; and your free
time before you become busy;
and your life, before your
death." [Hakim, Ahmad]

12. Be with those who Allah SWT
describes in Surat al Imran
[3:133]

, = - - - , ,_ - - - _ |, , - _ =
_ | == - | _ | | = .|
And march forth in the way
(which leads to) forgiveness
from your Lord, and for Para-
dise as wide as the heavens
and the earth are prepared
for Al-Muttaqun (the pious)

May Allah SWT allow for us to
see and complete the blessed
month of Ramadan, while reap-
ing its many fruits and benefits.
May Allah SWT forgive us, have
mercy on us, unite us, and help
us all to live our lives for His
pleasure; Ameen.

Jazaka ALLAH Khayran.
