00:00:01 --> 00:00:03
			Doctor Zakir, why is it that Muslims can't
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:04
			continue
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:06
			worshiping Allah
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			with the same enthusiasm and zeal
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			after the month of Ramadan.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			One of the main reasons for this is
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			because many Muslims,
		
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17
			they consider the
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:19
			acts done in the month of Ramadan
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			more as a custom, more as a tradition.
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			That it's a custom we have to fast
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			in the month of Ramadan, we have to
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:26
			pray tarav in the month of Ramadan, we
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			have to do good deeds. More of a
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			custom, it is not for the worship of
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:32
			Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. And there are many
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:32
			people
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			who offer tarawi,
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			there is the kramulal,
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			very religiously, but unfortunately,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			they miss many of the Fardis Salah. Yes.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			Which is
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:43
			absolutely
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			wrong because the is a
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			is not a
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:52
			So because of this more of a custom,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			Ramadan being more of a custom,
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			more of a tradition, that's the reason that
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			once Ramadan is over, they forget everything as
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			I mentioned earlier. That as well live only
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:01
			there in the month of Ramadan and not
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			in the other months.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			Point number 2
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			is
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			because
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			the surrounding
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			and the atmosphere, which is then the month
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13
			of Ramnana
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			does not remain
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			after Ramnana is over.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			So if they as I mentioned earlier, they
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:19
			keep
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22
			righteous friends and company of good people, then
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			the chances of being steadfast is much more.
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26
			And thirdly,
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			that because of weak faith,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29
			many a time,
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			that of righteousness keeps on becoming less and
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			less. In the starting of Ramadan people are
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			enthusiastic
		
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37
			and they all do it sometimes. Therefore, we
		
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38
			find that
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			the mosque
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			are filled
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			during the
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:43
			first starting nights
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			for Tarawi,
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:46
			for Khayyam ul Layl, and later on keeps
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			on decreasing and towards end of Ramadan, it
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:49
			becomes the least.
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			So a person should not all do the
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:53
			act out of zeal and enthusiasm as the
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			prophet said, that the act should be constant
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:59
			that's better, even though it's few rather than,
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			you know, doing many and doing for a
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			short time.
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:04
			So a person should do acts with a
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			constant and should be strong in faith.
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			And the last point is
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			that as it's mentioned, the hadith of Musa
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			Salaam,
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			Musnad Ahmad,
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			Volume number 2, page number 230, hadith number
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			7148.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:19
			The beloved prophet said that in the month
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			of Ramadan,
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			the satan, the devils, they're chained,
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:25
			And the doors of paradise open, and the
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			gates of * are closed, so but natural.
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			The temptation is there during the month of
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:32
			Ramadan because the devils are chained.
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			The The moment Ramadan gets over, the temptation
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			is more, the devil is more after you,
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:37
			so more chance of you to deviate from
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:39
			the truth. And in the month of Ramadan,
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			the gates of * are closed, the doors
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:44
			of heaven are open, so more chance of
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:45
			doing good deeds. So these are the few
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:46
			points
		
00:02:47 --> 00:02:48
			which are the reason why a person does
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:51
			not remain steadfast after the month of Ramadan.
