Sajid Ahmed Umar – Replenish Ramadan #02 – What are you looking forward to Ramadan over a Matyr!

			If you were to ask some people what they are most looking forward to in the near future, depending
on the circumstances, of course, some would say their graduation, the day they get a new car, or
perhaps the day they move into a new home. A lot of young people would say, the day they get
married, and others would perhaps, say, the birth of the child. But how many of us would answer that
we are looking forward to the next month of Ramadan? Not many, right? And yet we find Subhanallah
from the Hadith, that a person who has lived to see let's say, 50 Ramadan, and then we have another
person who has observed 51 from Avans, they cannot be the same. Now what does this mean? Well
		

			imagine one man dies in the year 2000, as a martyr, and the other day is just a regular death, but
one year later in 2001, with both experiencing the Ramadan's diligently throughout their lives, who
do you think enters paradise first? You'd think it was the matter right? But the answer is actually
the man who died an entire year later.
		

			Strange. Well, one died a martyr, and the other simply lived an extra year. But because of that
extra year, that man was able to fast and pray and do good deeds during an entire added Ramadan.
That is why Brothers and Sisters in Islam the messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that the
difference between the two men is greater than the difference between the heaven and the end. So now
that Allah has allowed us to be alive to witness yet another month of Ramadan, let us apply the
famous adage bohart or go home.
