Mufti Menk – Ramadan 2023 Boost#14 – What a waste of Ramadan

			As salam o alaikum Have you been wasting your nights of Ramadan on your phone, social media, just
flicking through whatever you are watching Subhanallah just sitting chatting some people smoking
shisha lounges, or some people just playing cards, playing games, perhaps sitting with their friends
and having a laugh, watching movies, and all of that. While that is not the best use of the month of
Ramadan, the month of Ramadan is a gift from Allah. It may be the last opportunity you have, you
don't know if you're going to be seeing the next month of Ramadan. So if you are wasting time, this
message is for you to say please take things a little bit more seriously. And learn to do acts of
		

			worship that will help repent for the sake of Allah subhanho wa Taala for your own betterment and
benefit. A seek Allah's forgiveness for sins you know you've committed for sometimes you may not
even remember that you commit to do you might not even know that you've actually done them. So for
us for the use of the days and nights of Ramadan, make sure you don't waste them. Many people are
actually just having fun in Ramadan. Some people follow movies and soaps and so many other things in
Ramadan, wasting their evenings, they can be time for recreation that is permissible, which
remember, it should be very limited in Ramadan. And at the same time after Ramadan, you can spend a
		

			little bit more time doing that which is permissible. However, the month of Ramadan is a month of
acts of worship, seriousness doing good deeds, polishing yourself, building yourself, building your
acts of worship, changing your life for the better and Subhanallah building yourself in terms of
character and conduct as well and we've been speaking about this every day. So a day will come when
by the will of Allah this message will impact on you to say you know what? I better start taking
things more seriously disciplining myself. You cannot spend all night wasting time. You have to do
something, pick up the Quran. Read the Word. Read a verse, read a few verses read a page with the
		

			surah check its meaning. See how your life changes. May Allah Almighty guide us all and make us the
best of people productive in every single way and grant us success. You will never regret spending
the month of Ramadan in Ibadah and acts of worship, but you will always regret having wasted the
month of Ramadan. Salam aleikum wa rahmatullah
