Assalamu alaykumu rahmatullahi wa barakatuhalhamdulillahi
rubulalameen.
We are getting
closer and closer to the end of Ramadan.
As some scholars will say,
The majority of it has passed. However,
the best part is still there. Insha'Allah, today
is the 20th day of Ramadan,
and this night will be the night of
21st,
which Allahu Alam could be one of the
nights of Laylatul Qadr, the night of decree.
Rasool
alaihis sunnah was actually he
went to Atikaf
in the Masjid
and completely disconnected
from this duniya.
For us, alhamdulillahi rabbalamin, whoever can do that,
that's khair,
but it's very understandable and Allah knows that
not everybody can do that. But the most
important thing is what we do. The focus
should be for everyone
is acts of worship,
pleasing Allah Subhanahu Ta'ala,
doing way more. And one of the hadith
that the Sayed 'A' is generated that when
the
10 days or the last 10 nights of
Ramadan
entered, Arasul 'ala sallam did 3 things. He's
up all night.
Waaykaba'allah.
And he woke up his family, wushaddamizra,
and he tied
his garment around his waist. It has many
meanings.
One of the meaning is that he's going
to be
more vigilant,
doing way more than the usual. Another meaning
that he will be staying away from his
family,
his wives. That meaning he's gonna be completely
focused on obeying Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Another
hadith also by Saida Aisha, She said she
has never seen a Rasool, alayhis salatu wasalam
fasting a month total other than Ramadan
and staying up all night
in one night other than Ramadan and reading
the whole Quran in one night except in
Ramadan. Alhamdulillahi rubulalmi
it's coming, starting tonight, let's all make the
resolve.
Ask Allah
to give us the ability, the energy,
the focus to do the best of and
take the advantage of this. And don't forget,
these 10 nights has the best night later
at Al Qadr. Khayr Rum Nen al Fishaar.
It's better than 1,000 months. Basically, it's like
83
years worship in 1 night. Let's all work
on it. Most probably it's in the odd
nights 21, 23rd, 25th, 27th,
20 9th, Allah knows. But usually the best
way to do it is
focus on these nights,
move away anything that is not necessary.
Ask Allah to help. Don't forget dua. Don't
forget reading more Quran, standing up longer in
nights, and don't forget praying for each other
and for the ummah. And may Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala give us the best. Ameen.
