*🔥 The people who do not benefit from Ramadhaan!*
🎓 Shaikh Saaleh al-Fawzaan غفر الله له said:
❝ A Muslim should always be engaged in the obedience and worship of Allaah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ; strictly guarding (taking care of) the things which have been made obligatory upon them and shunning all that which has been made Haraam (forbidden) for them - in Ramadhaan and in (the months) other than Ramadhaan.
There are people who strive (to attain Righteousness) in Ramadhaan. But when Ramadhaan is over, they slip away and return to their sinning ways. Such a person did not benefit from Ramadhaan, because his intention is that once Ramadhaan is over he will return to his old ways (that he ways upon before Ramadhaan) - sinning, evil deeds, bad and useless speech, and (pursuing) ignorance. The likes of him do not benefit from the month of Ramadhaan, because obedience to Allaah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ is not a temporary thing - which starts at a certain time and ends at a certain time. No! One should always be in the obedience of Allaah; as HE تعالى said:
❝ {AND WORSHIP YOUR LORD UNTIL THERE COMES TO YOU THE CERTAINTY (i.e. death)} ❞
📚 [Surah al-Hijr (15): 99]
The certainty means: "till DEATH".
The responsibility (duty) of a Muslim does not end except with death. When a person dies all his deeds come to an end except for three:
1) Sadaqah Jaariyyah (continuous charity like digging a well);
2) or knowledge from which the people benefit;
3) or the righteous son who prays for him.
O my brothers! We need to honor the things which Allaah تعالى has made Sacred...
❝{AND WHOEVER HONORS THE SACRED THINGS OF ALLAAH, THEN THAT IS BETTER FOR HIM WITH HIS LORD}❞
📚 [Surah al-Hajj (22): 30]
❝{AND WHOEVER HONORS THE SYMBOLS OF ALLAAH, THEN THAT IS TRULY FROM THE PIETY OF THE HEART} ❞
📚 [Surah al-Hajj (22): 32]
So we should honor the Symbols of Allaah in Ramadhaan and in other than Ramadhaan.❞
