Well, doctor Zakkia,
I agree with you. I think it's very,
very sad that, so many of us
neglect our deen after the month of Ramadan,
but perhaps you could persuade some of us
to retain
some of the good deeds that we've accumulated
and we've started doing during the month of
Ramadan by telling us what are the means
by which we can continue
doing those righteous actions after the month of
Ramadan and beyond, Insha'Allah.
Number 1 is to ask the support of
Allah
to ask his help. As Allah says in
the Quran in Surah Al Imran chapter 360,
if Allah helps you,
none can overcome you. If Allah forsakes you,
who is dead, then who can help you?
So let the believers put the trust in
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. So first and foremost,
you should seek help of Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala, and ask him to guide us on
the right track and feed to it that
he keeps us steadfast after the month of
Ramadan. And the best dua a person can
make is what Allah has mentioned in his
book, the Quran in Surah Al Imran chapter
3 verse number 8, where Allah says,
which means our Lord. Let not our hearts
deviate
After Dua has guided us,
grant us mercy from their own presence, for
Dua art grantor
of bounties
without measure.
This is one of the best dua that
a person can read, especially after the month
of Ramadan. That
Oh lord,
let not a Hajj deviate
after thou has guided us.
Grant us mercy
from thine own presence.
For thou art grant her of mercy
without measures. I purposely repeated because it's very
burdua.
Number 2, a person should be in the
company of the righteous.
His friend circle, the people who live with,
should be righteous people,
should be on the straight path, should be
true believers, so that that helps him to
be on the straight path, on the steadfastness,
what he was doing in the month of
Ramadan.
Point number 3, he should attend
Islamic lectures,
Islamic talks,
Islamic seminars, Islamic conferences,
should visit Islamic organizations,
which will help him to be on the
straight path and come closer to Allah Subhanahu
Wa Ta'ala.
Point number 4, he should watch
Islamic
programs on the video tapes, on the CDs,
on the DVDs,
on the television.
And so that he gets more and more
knowledge of the Deen, and gets him closer
to the Deen of Islam.
He should
go
to authentic Islamic sites
on the Internet
that help him to be steadfast.
He can listen to audio tapes
of the Islamic scholars.
He can read books, he should read the
translation of the Lord's Quran.
He should
read the Sahih Hadith.
Translation of the Quran, as I mentioned earlier,
say international is a good translation.
Translation by Abdullah Isofali,
by Muslim Khan, all is a good translation
of the Quran. As far as the book
of Hadith are concerned, we have, say, Bukhari,
say, Muslim,
Sunan Abu Dawood,
Sunan Nisai,
Trimedi,
Ibn Majah, etcetera.
We have the Seerah of the Prophet, one
of the good books is Raikul Muqtum by
Sheikh Zafir Manubar Puri, and so on and
so forth, which will keep you on the
right track.
Further,
he should see to it
that he does all his obligatory acts,
whether it be praying 5 times a day,
whether giving charity,
if he has not performed Hajj, he should
perform if he has the means to, and
so on and so forth. He should increase
his superegatory
acts,
the nafil acts, the nawafil.
So that we get him close with Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala and keep him steadfast. All
nafil acts.
He should
do more dikar of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Remember Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala.
He should read the Quran as much as
possible, and remember as much as possible. And
what he remembers, he should decide in the
Quran so that it becomes part of his
memory.
Furthermore, which is very important,
he should abstain
from things which take him away from Allah
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala which are Khutawatul Shaitaan.
Watching un Islamic television programs,
watching un Islamic movies,
during Islamic songs, listening to music,
going to an Islamic websites,
all these things are to Shaitan, we take
the person away from the straight path.
And lastly,
he should again pray to Allah Subhanahu Wa
Ta'ala to help him
to be on the straight path and thank
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and repent if he
had made any mistake and thank Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala for all that good he has
the straight path.
the straight path.
