Don't Count down - Count Up!

The last Ten days of Ramadan is close. Time is now to contemplate – what have we achieved and what have we lost. We have to become more humble towards Allah Ta’la thinking the enormous mistakes we made while accomplishing Fast, Tilawat, Zikr, Iftar, Sehri etc. If we admit that we made mistakes in these direct worships, then no doubt in our worldly affairs (service, business, household works, social etiquettes etc.) we have also made lots of mistakes.

A slave, who admits his faults and sets a comeback through pure Tawba will Inshallah be forgiven. Haven’t you heard the verses of Allah Ta’la(?) – “O The Believers! Repent towards Allah Ta’la with Tawba-tun-Nasuha (Pure Repentance). It is expected that your Lord would eradicate all your sins and place you in Jannah, underneath of which river flows.” Sura Tahreem: 08

The month of Blessings, Forgiveness and Salivation is leaving. An opportunity to cleanse ourselves from all sins and restart with a fresh life has come. Allah Ta’la is just on chance of to pardon his slave. Definitely the greatest of opportunities; a person missing this would be so deprived and so wretched that had he knew what he lost – the rest of his life would be ruined in repentance!

Let us make a firm intention. Start sobbing towards Allah Ta’la “O Allah! O Kareem! This slave is in distress. He has already wasted a lot of time. I confess all my guilt. By the sake of your Beloved Rasul Sallallahu Alaiyhiwasallam pardon me…at this holy eve of the Best Last 10 days of Ramadan. Fetch Laiylatul Qadr in life! Give me opportunity to worship in the Night full of Blessings – Fetch Your Satisfaction my Lord!

Let us get ready for Laiylatul Qadr! Let us increase our prayers and all good deeds.

“This is my last Ramadan; this is my last chance” – such a firm belief can force us to overcome all laziness and negligence. Allah Ta’la has trapped the devil. He has promised to provide His all out support if we initiate.

Lovers of this world ‘Count down’…..we, the Believers should be opposite.

Ramadan has not started from 30 and then 29, 28, 27…..!

Ramadan has started 1, 2, 3…..and so on…..

See – we have to Count up….we have to lift our spirits higher….We have to gain the Satisfaction of Allah Ta’la. O Allah! Provide us all the ability to gain Your Love! Ameen.
