Ismail Londt – For those who led Tarwh. Final note Ramadn 1445. Normalcy and needs.

Bismillah, assalamu. Alaikum. A

final note for this beautiful month of Ramadan, for all those

who were leading tarawih

normalcy and needs, it is normal and expected that some amongst us

may feel a bit disoriented and lost we were intensely preoccupied

with preparation for the taraweeh every night, and we did so for

four weeks. We got used to what was expected, and we got into a

routine, and now it all came to an abrupt end and stop and halt. So

we have to be productive, use our time correctly and not go to that

which is the easiest and accessible and then waste our

time.

We need to do certain things. And there are five needs that I would

love to suggest. Firstly, we need to show gratitude. Alhamdulillah

is the least we can say from the bottom of our hearts to thank

Allah subhana wa Taala for having afforded us the opportunities he

has, and having enabled us to see the responsibility through to its

end.

So alhamdulillah with every prayer before and after and as much as we

can.

And then afill Allah seeking Allah's forgiveness for any

discrepancies, for any shift in our intentions and for any

shortcomings keeping us in our places working towards humility,

for it is not us. It is only through him, Jala jalalu, that we

found ourselves doing what we did and able to do it in the manners

in which we were enabled to

and then number three, the third need, would be praying for

acceptance, obviously, because it would be sad if, after all the

anxiety and effort and

strife

and concerns, it would be sad if, after all that we went through, we

were not eligible for acceptance. So we pray for eligibility for

acceptance,

for all the efforts and for what was rendered in the in the in the

Salah. And

then number four,

it was a lot on our minds, a lot on our emotions, a lot on our

bodies. We need some time out. You need to find a way to relax, just

clear your mind, just settle your emotions, and just give your body

some rest. Go for a walk. Do some grounding or earthing. That is

where you

stand a walk bare feet on some naked Earth

find some way just to

calm down and reconnect with yourself. Because it was a lot on

your on your being. It was a lot on your mind, your emotions and

your body,

and hopefully, on your spirit, on your roar, there was some

elevation and growth and illumination. But you need some

time out.

And then lastly, the fifth need, is to make a a an intention,

to continue to spending some quality time with the Quran,

learning from any errors we may have made and any lessons we may

have acquired along the way, so that we can do better. If Allah

affords us another Ramadan ahead, and may he afford us many more

ramadans, amen only those who have led can understand what is

required. So I pray for you all,

and your efforts are appreciated by your communities.

May Allah take you from strength to strength. Take us all from

strength to strength. Everything we experience affects us, and this

experience of leading to our way is no different. We cannot explain

it or share it with anyone

in words. It has to be experienced, and it is noted by

Allah subhanaw wa Taala made count heavily on the scales in the

akhirah, and may Allah count us all amongst thee through

companions of His Word, those worthy of His intercession in the

year after Amin. And there's always room for improvement. So

stick with it one day at a time, recite by a colleague, recited by

your teachers. Listen back to your own recordings to see where you

could have improved, for if anything deserves the best of our

efforts at enhancement and refinement, it will be the book of

Allah.

Keep well and have a beautiful read. Was Salaam Alaikum Mohammed

Allah Abu.
