Daily Quranic Inspiration

In a world that is fast being engulfed by darkness of all sorts, most of us yearn for some light. There are people that walk the earth with light; they see with clear clarity and are enlightened from within. It doesn’t mean that they don’t have any problems, but it means that despite the problems, they feel peace and are well-nourished and protected by their Iman.

We are as different as the grains of sand on earth, and if you know anything about sand particles you’ll know how vastly different we are. This is not only to be celebrated, but it’s also to be understood…

“The Prophet PBUH never prayed more than eleven units, whether during Ramadan or otherwise. He would perform four units but do not ask about their beauty and length, then he’d perform another four units, but do not ask about their beauty and length, then he’d pray three (witr)”
(Bukhari and Muslim)
Is “being upon the prophetic way” just about imitating the number of the prophet’s units at night, or does it also include imitating the quality of those units as well?

Whilst it’s true that the 27th night of Ramadan is a likely candidate for Laylatul Qadr, it is baffling to see the disproportionate emphasis on it at the expense of other nights.
If the Prophet Mohammad PBUH himself was made to forget the exact date of Laylatul Qadr, how then can anyone after him claim certain knowledge of it?!

The greater the dosage of Qur’an, the greater the generosity of the Prophet PBUH would become, or, you could say, the more he learned, the more he did.

On these closing nights of Ramadan, that final push really does say a lot about who this person is in Allah’s Eyes. Ensure you that remain committed right till the end;
Till the end of Ramadan, and till the end of your life.

Just like the Prophet Mohammad PBUH did at home, be an example, raise the bar, and let your presence always be that reminder of Allah and the Home of the Hereafter, both during Ramadan and beyond.

Shaykhul Islam Ibnu Taymiyya said towards the end of his life:
وندمت على تضييع أكثر أوقاتي في غير معاني القرآن
“I regret having wasted the majority of my time in other than the meanings of the Qur’an.

Say “Astaghfirullah”, but position your heart correctly first;
Make it repentance that fixes your gazes, influences your private conversations, purifies your finances and improves your public appearances.

We’re at the last leg of Ramadan.
Work patiently today.
Recline in Jannah tomorrow.
You will not be let down.

Ahead of you are the last ten nights of Ramadan, which means that the finish line is now so close. This is when hearts must break like never before at the doorstep of Allah, and if you’re true to Him then rest assured that you shall not be disadvantaged by your slow start in the least.

Next time you hear yourself saying to you:
“Those Ramadan Muslims! Now they show up to the Masjid?!”
remember that Allah may end up pardoning their shortcomings but not your arrogance.

There’s only so much that the human heart can house, and if you’ve filled it with sins, distractions, addictions and perversions, then how will Khushoo’ finds its place when it’s constantly being evicted? Each and every one of us knows exactly where to start and what inner items need unloading.

Be the better believer, humiliate Shayṭan, apologise, and remove every obstacle in your way this Ramadan.

Hours, minutes, and seconds, that’s what you are, and so each day of Ramadan that ends demarcates the ending of a part of you.
