End of another Ramdan…
August 24, 2011
its last week of Ramadan , masjid was still full at Taraweeh time .I could hardly get in.When its over it will be over in a week time.Peace and quiet will return to the masjid.It will be only Imam and few maqtadi (followers).
Nimaz or ibadat (prayer) is like a seasonal rite nowadays.Our beards , our tasbihs are religeous ornaments.In one hand we will hold the rope of islam and in other hand we will hold the rope of the ” culture of Bidaah” (unacceptable forbidden rites).
Allah clearly says in Surah Baqarah in the Quran :
” Are you trying to mix the right with the wrong? are you like those who sometimes follow the straight path and sometimes follow the evil ? if you are like this you will face disgrace and misfortune in this world as well as in the life after “
Right is right and wrong and wrong is wrong. Don`t try to justify wrong actions with logic.Wrong actions means not paying zakat , accepting RIBA ( interest ) ( or working with interest based business ) , not praying nimaz and other unislamic actions .
“There is no confusion in DEEN , the message of islam is simple and straight forward ” Quran says .
We must pray at the end of ramadan for our IMAN on Allah and His deen to stay stronge for ever . May Allah help us to stay stronge in the face of distractions from the true path . The greed of money , the lust of luxury and happiness , even the love of own family are the distraction in the path of DEEN . At the end of Ramadan we should pray that Allah forgive us and protect us from the evils of the world and from the evil of ourselves.
“Rabbana Zalamna Anfusana Wa Inlam Taghfirlana Wa Tarhamna La Nakoonanna Mina Khasireen. (They said, “Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among losers. Surah Al A’raf 7:23)
