Since the
month of Ramadan has begun we hear, watch or read about
inspirational
facts of this month for instance:
“Fast is
purely for Allah [SWT] and he will give reward of it personally’’
OR
“This is the most rewarding month for Muslims as it is a test
of his patience and love for Allah’’
Very recently ALGERIA set an example for the World by
keeping fast during their match in FIFA world cup 2014. Stunning! Do these informations really matter
in our lives?
Zero %
I have a very strong reason of my calculation. The society in
which we are living has become desensitized and considers to follow their Nafs instead
of killing it for Allah. People around me least bother now to pay some respect
to this month. You can easily find
people chewing tobacco openly, smoking or drinking water inside their shops.
Why
do Halwaies start frying samosas around 3 pm? How can they be so sure that they
get customers at this hour of time?
When we cannot first sacrifice our hunger and thirst for
Allah (SWT), how can we abstain ourselves from vulgarity, lies and quarrels?
How can we abstain ourselves from backbiting, accusing and bullying?
We do not need any external enemy to destroy us we our self-sufficient
for this terrible destruction of our faith, culture and community.
Lets join hands together to at least help people in reminding
their past practices in Ramadan. Lets become role models for others and let the
generations follow us. Let Allah be contented with this Ummah. And lets become
the most deserving candidate of Jannah.
