All Praises and Thanks to Almighty Allah[God] for blessing us to be part of this blessed month. It’s my hope that all abled muslims are fasting and I pray that may ALLAH accept it from us all and bless those who are unable to fast due to genuine reasons such as our sisters in their cycle etc. Let’s remind each other about some mistakes we do whilst fasting.

Wasting time. The month of Ramadhan is precious, before we realized, this month of MERCY and FORGIVENESS is over. We should try and spend every moment possible in the worship of ALLAH so that we can make the most of this blessings.

However, there are some of us who waste away their day playing video games, or worse still, watching TV, movies or even listening to music instead of the Quran. Subhaan’Allah!

Some of us fast but do not give up lying, cursing, fighting, backbiting, etc. And others continue stealing, dealing in haraam, buying lotto tickets, selling alcohol, fornication after breaking the fast, etc. The whole point is to let these things go. As ALLAH says;

“O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious) Quran 2:183. The Prophet (Sal Allahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “Whoever does not give up false speech and acting upon it, and ignorance, ALLAH has no need of him giving up his food and drink.” (Imam Bukhaari).

SO let’s use this blessed month to stay away from ALL our wrong deeds. May ALLAH protect us from wasting our time in this blessed Moments of the year. Aameen.
