Before you start to wonder how the month which we welcomed only a few days ago, wraps up and leaves the stage for the year, you have to re-examine yourself to be sure your devotional life as well as your contact with the Quran have increased tremendously.
The success of all what we do is measured by the effect it leaves upon us. Ramadan cannot just come and go without having an impact on you. The Prophet corroborated the prayer of Angel Jubril on this by saying Amin when the latter visited him while ascending them in bar for salat.
In the morning and evening, and at every point of our daily activities in Ramadan, we must be fully aware that in such mundane activities, we must as a matter of obligation remain under the divine injunctions of Allah.
Ramadan renews our enthusiasm to worship and be devoted to Allah. Since we are doing away with some old ideas and inculcating new ones, we need to becareful and mindful of our actions.
Old habits do not die easily except with commitment, sacrifice and determination. Watch what you do, and what you say, control your anger, be disciplined and filled with the presence of Allah in your life.
We must also renew our contacts with the Qur’an. Ramadan and the Qur’an are linked together. One of the things that made the month special is that it hosts the entire Quran. All the divine messages were revealed to the Prophet (s.a.w) in this blessed month.
Again, fasting prepares the believers’ hearts to learn the words of Allah. It is the most suitable condition for our spiritual and mental communication with the Qur’an.
All over the world, the focus and attention is on the Quran. There are recitations in several places, there are tafsir/explanations of the Qur’an in every corner of the globe.
