Oh Mommy! I cannot, because this is Ramadan!!!

Assalam 'ALaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

These are the days in which a lot of people among us makes so much of excuses on things saying "Oh Come-on! You see, I cannot do that because this is Ramadan! I just cannot."

Starting from individuals to presidents, this is a common excuse. Why???

They say that fasting is making them tired. Fasting loses a lot of energy. Fasting prevents them being active. Oh boy! Really?

Let us make a quick analysing how the best people of this Ummah has spent their lives in Ramadan. Yes the Salaf al-Saliheen.

When Ramadan comes, the great Sahaba (radiyallahu 'anhum) of the Messenger (pbuh) becomes so active in their all daily lives, plus in other affairs too. Keep in mind that the climate, the temperature variation in the cities of Makka and Madina and their surroundings.

Tears of worries and sadness...

Assalam 'Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Minutes, hours, days, weeks and months are passing by. Each and every second of life reminds us about a very important fact that we are traveling towards our end. Our ancestors who lived here like us, have gone now. Our fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers are leaving this what we call 'beautiful Dunya' one by one.

Each and every creation of Allah (subuhaanahu wata'aala) in this world is preparing for something very special, except us. It is to meet a guest who visits us once in a year. Yes you got it right. It is Ramadan. Beginning (10 days) of Ramadan is Mercy, center (10 days) of it is forgiveness from Allah and last ten days are protection and setting you free from hell fire.
