So in one line,
how can the Muslim brothers and sisters around
the world
remain steadfast
from what they
achieved in Ramadan.
Alhamdulillah.
Wassa Allahu Assalam. Alahu
If a Muslim
goes through the month of Ramadan,
and he fasts
during the day,
and he offers the night prayer during the
night,
and he's accustomed
to doing the good deeds
then Insha'Allah he should continue
doing the same things throughout the year.
This is the sign of a true believer
and Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala is ever
watching. Indeed,
steadfastness
after the month of Ramadan,
it it is the greatest sign what a
person has achieved in the month of Ramadan.
And
a person
who is steadfast after Ramadan and he continued
doing the good deeds of the fries
and night prayers and sunnah etcetera.
It is one of the best signs
that
his fasting had been accepted by Allah
It's sign of his symptoms.
And Allah says in the Quran in Suri
Fazilat chapter number 41, verse number 30.
In case Buhluh say,
And they say, fury not,
nor you grieve.
And Insha Allah, glad tidings will descend on
you
of the eternal bliss that is Jannah, paradise,
which is promised for people like you. And
I repeat the message in Zoya Akraf chapter
number 46
verse number 13
that
indeed
those who say that Allah is our Lord
and
stand firm and steadfast on them shall be
no grieve nor will they have any fear.
And our beloved Prophet Musallahu alaihi wa sallam
said, it's mentioned the hadith
of Sayi Muslim
1
in the book of purification,
hadith number 450.
Musa Salaam said
that
the 5 daily prayers
and
1 Jumasalah to the next Jumasalah
and 1 Ramadan to the next Samdan.
These are the period for the expiration of
your sins as long as you have trained
from major sins. All these acts
5 daily prayers,
Jumasala
and Ramadan Ramadan as long as they have
obtained from major sins. During these acts, it's
expression of your sins.
So once you follow the month of Ramadan
properly following all the command of Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala, and then stay steadfast and the
next Ramadan Insha'Allah,
all your sins except for the major they'll
be forgiven. It's mentioned in Sayyid Muslim,
volume number 1,
in the book of faith, hadith number 62,
the beloved prophet Musallahu alaihi wa sallam
once did the person who comes to him
and he asked him that, oh prophet,
tell me regarding the Deen of Islam something
which after which I will not have to
go to anyone
besides you. And the prophet said, believe in
Allah
and remain steadfast in it. Allah says in
Suri Ibrahim chapter number 14 verse number 27.
Allah
will establish
those
firm in faith,
who believe in the word,
and then
stand firm and steadfast.
And Allah will let astray those who do
wrong.
From this verse of the Quran,
we come to know that a person
should be steadfast
in faith and inshallah those are the people
or the righteous people. The beloved prophet Muhammad
Sallallahu Alaihi wa sallam said, it's mentioned say
Buhari 1 number 7 in the book of
dress, hadith number
5861,
she says that Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam used
to construct a room with the Hasid and
pray in it during nighttime,
and daytime used to flatten it and sit
on it.
Later on, when people came to know, they
started playing along with the prophet, and the
group kept on increasing. And when it increased
to a large number, the prophet turn and
told them that
do the deeds how much you can
do, but be constant in it.
Even though it is few, that being constant
is important
for Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala does not get
tired of giving rewards,
but you can get tired. It's not sure
to say buhary, volume number 8, hadith number
64
65. How the Aisha she
narrates.
The Prophet said,
the most loved deed by Allah
are those deeds
that are done constantly, even though they're few.
So the prophet said, do those deeds
which you're able to do, don't over yourself.
And Allah loves those deeds which are constant
even though they're few.
So
it's the duty of every Muslim that
after the month of Ramadan,
he should remain steadfast in their faith.
If he used to file with the month
of Ramadan, yet here the portion it is
to do the voluntary fast with the prophet
had recommended throughout the year. If a person
used
to pray at nighttime
during the month of Ramadan everyday, he can
knit pray at night time after Ramadan. If
you still give the towards the end of
the month of Ramadan, he can give charity
for the full year.
And all the good deal that is to
do with reading the Quran in the month
of Ramadan, he can continue toward
the year. So person whatever good he has
achieved in month of Ramadan, he should remain
steadfast in it, and that is the sign
of acceptance.
And these are the people who will be
prosperous.
