The Quran, Allah says shahru Ramadan, the month
of Ramadan in which the Quran was revealed.
In it, what is there?
There is guidance for mankind.
Clear signs from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
And there is a criterion Allah distinguishes between
right and wrong,
falsehood and the truth. And if you are
to connect with Allah, he will give you
the ability to distinguish between right and wrong.
In this day and age,
we are living at a time of
technological
advancement with positives and negatives. One of the
negatives
is that on social media, we see so
many things. At times, we don't know how
to tell the difference between what is true
and what is false.
We fall victim
to accusing people of something they were not
guilty of simply because
we saw a video, not realizing
it's either just a clip that doesn't give
you the context or it is totally fabricated
and we didn't even realize.
May Allah Almighty grant us ease.
May Allah Almighty grant us ease.
It's becoming more and more difficult to distinguish
between right and wrong, but when you are
close to Allah and you develop a relationship
with Allah, he will definitely
make you
from among those who can distinguish.
And the bare minimum is you stay away
from that which is futile
and that which does not concern you.
Many times people comment about others
without realizing Allah's not going to ask you
about them at all.
You want to help someone? Do so. You
want to guide someone? Do so. You want
to correct someone? Do so in the best
possible way. But don't involve in their lives
negatively such that you lose, and nothing happens
to them besides the fact that they would
get your good deeds if you have any,
such as when you've backbitten them, when you've
slandered them, when you've harmed them
unjustly,
you're doing things that, subhanAllah,
have resulted in your connection with Allah becoming
distanced. This is the month of Ramadan.
We should be conscious of what goes in
our mouths, what comes out of our mouths.
