Now Ramadan has come gone

Now Ramadan has come gone Taqwa remain untraveled, five times daily Solawat still remain unchanged , Quran pages are still the same, Sodaqah can still be accepted and all forms of servitudes and righteousness that prevailed the Ramadan are still rewarded in full by our creator whose throne remain unshaken after the month of Ramadan. Rakeeb and Anteed are ready to record your deeds either good or bad. The gate of paradise is still opened for those who are ready to enter while gate of hell too is ready for the would-be inhabitant. Allah is there to accept our supplications, forgiveness, commitment and steadfastness. Remember the mosque gate is not closed after Ramadan; this tells that Ibadaat are for everyday not occasional or for special month. Five daily Solawaat are not only compulsory at appropriate time and congregational in the month of Ramadan but for all days of our existence. Ramadan is a school with a designed curriculum, compulsory for all Muslims to pass through every year to prepare them fit for the rest of the months. As it is known to us: The essence of passing through a curriculum in our various institutions, is to put it to work in the real life. If at the end the day, we got certified and we cannot put the certificate to work, this means the curriculum has not work for its purpose. It is a sign of forgiveness for a sinner to be able to leave the sin after seeking forgiveness, and it is a sign of acceptance of Ibadan {deeds] for it to continue and consistent after drilling. Allah cares for the believers by given Ramadan to drill and restore our faith to increase our commitment and steadfastness. With the aim of gaining Taqwa [piety], this is the essence of Ramadan. Dear brothers and sisters refresh your Ikhlas don’t be a part worshiper, don’t worship the month of Ramadan, worship Allah the one who exist without end. When Abubakr [RA] addressed the congregation of Sohaba after the death of the prophet he said ``anyone of your who is worshipping Muhammad, Muhammad has died, anyone one of you who is worshipping Allah, Allah exist and he will never die ``telling you brothers in deen if you are Ramadan worshipers Ramadan has gone. Dear brothers and sisters all the good deeds you kept strong during the Ramadan still valid and ready to be accepted for the rest of the days too. However, the scholars and our Salaf [pious predecessors] do put more effort during Ramadan than the rest of the months due to its multiple rewards but they never fall-short of any of the Ibadaat after the month. That is the reason they prepared for Ramadan for long months. Ta’ajud, Tilawatul Qur’an, Sadaqa other forms of Ibadaat are still there for us to observe, Sunnatic fasting; six days of fasting in this month of Shawal[shitta shawal], fasting on Monday and Thursday , fasting on 13,14,15 of the Lunar months [ white days] and the likes are to keep us closer to Allah and to refresh the piety we have gained during Ramadan. Solawat in congregation are compulsory all the times. Be among of those whom Ramadan will open the gate of paradise for and never closed, don’t be among of those whom the gate paradise are opened for during Ramadan and closed after it. Remember the shitta shawal for complete year reward. May Allah accept all our deeds during Ramadan and make them steps to attain piety.
