ways to make this ramadan extraordinary august 22 2009 in al kauthar hearty leave a comment assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu my dear friends and students welcome to our long lost friend ramadan how we have missed the days of self restraint and the nights of mercy and delight after eleven months of sinning we now have the opportunity to avail ourselves of a month of mercy and forgiveness for those whose duas have not been answered the month of answered duas has arrived for those who have drifted away from the soothing night prayer or who have never achieved it the month of the blessed taraweeh has arrived welcome to our lord s mercy the month of ramadan no doubt each and every one of us approaches ramadan with a special excitement alas for many of us however the excitement is met with fear and dread instead will this ramadan be like the previous ones where i failed to truly take full advantage and mend my ways will this ramadan only demonstrate to me how far away from allah i truly am will it be yet another month that passes by without my taking full advantage of it if you are feeling this way know that you are not alone many of us feel this way and do not know how to tackle it as a result the fear and dread are enough for us to avoid setting new goals and higher aspirations for this month as a result we find ourselves at the end of the month in the situation of having failed to benefit from this opportunity and languishing in sorrow at the thought that we will never improve i too used to get these whispers and thoughts in my mind however i overcame these thoughts with the help of allah here are five things that i have done to tackle these ramadan blues let me share them with you perhaps the suggestions may benefit you and help you to overlook the past and focus on the future good thoughts about allah i remind myself that my lord is most generous and kind he loves me sincerely the proof is that even when i disobey him he still provides for me that is why he is giving me yet another ramadan yet another opportunity to get closer to him again he loves to forgive and his best friends are those who seek his forgiveness the most he has brought me to another ramadan so that i can have yet another chance at laylatul qadr and yet another chance to make my duas accepted at the time of iftar and yet another chance to do hajj with rasul allah sall allahu alaihi wa sallam by doing umrah in this month he has brought me to ramadan to sooth the sorrows in my heart with his remembrance and for me to be reminded of the nights in my grave by the solitude of i tikaaf by seeing how it feels to be alone with him in the mosque he wants me to lighten the load on my mind so that is why he has given me the month of the qur an so that i can relive the amazing word of my rabb lord and master the salaf pious predecessors would beg allah for another opportunity for ramadan so how fortunate i am that he has given me this chance once again how fortunate i am that he has given me the chance to know when this month is so that i can take advantage of it how fortunate i am that he has given me the yearning in my heart to meet my lord in this month and i know that the one who loves to meet his lord allah subhaanahu wa ta ala also loves to meet him forget the past and focus on the future i remind myself that past deeds are just that a matter of the past i live for the future not the past the past will be forgiven insha allah if i can mend the future my concern should be the next deed that i do because allah loves to forgive so i can have every confidence that he will forgive the past because i have nothing but regret for my past sins the most important consideration for me is what sort of amends i make now i remind myself of what imam ibnul qayyim rahimahu allah said in his nooniyyah by allah i am not afraid of my past sins for indeed they are upon the path of repentance and forgiveness rather my real concern is that in the next deed this heart might cease to act upon revelation and upon the noble qur an evaluate previous attempts in order to plan a strategy to make it work this time i remember that it is illogical to think that my future chances of success are a reflection of my failures in the past my past inabilities only show me what to do better this time so that i can increase my chances this time around so if i tried to pray taraweeh every night but failed i should look back at what happened in order to learn lessons from those failures was it that the imam s recitation was not good if so then let me try to find a mosque to go to whose imam recites better if i failed to complete reciting the whole qur an last year let me look at why that was the case and how i can change it can i put up reminders to read the qur an or shall i buy a few more copies of the qur an and put them in more convenient places such as one in my car another in my briefcase and another on my table so that i have a mushaf always on hand if i missed getting up for fajr last ramadan why did it happen and how can i change it perhaps i should buy more alarm clocks so let me go to the store right now perhaps i should sms my friends to start a fajr prayer calling group so that each day one of us is responsible for waking the others up perhaps i should make my suhur my heaviest meal so that my body feels hungry at suhur time and so i get up more easily reward challenge and penalise myself i can plan and prepare to reward myself if i finish this ramadan satisfactorily so i tell myself that if i can make myself pray all my prayers at the earliest time this ramadan and recite the qur an five times this month then i will buy myself a new laptop if i can recite it ten times then i will go away with my family for a holiday or some other significant reward that i know i would definitely like to treat myself with i warn myself that if i fail to at least recite the qur an five times in this month then i will donate a thousand dollars to charity i remind myself that even allah s messenger sall allahu alaihi wa sallam used to give worldly rewards to those who excelled in battle e g half the war booty from the raids to the muslim knights who had taken part in the raid he saw would consider it a great sin upon the one who fails to join the obligatory battle in the same spirit of reward challenge and penalty i would do this for my children and my wife as well by helping them with a reward if they do something extraordinary this month and a penalty if they did not even do the minimum extra level in this way i can give them an added incentive to do good in this limited time of ramadan i remind myself that ultimately we must do it for allah and never for a physical prize but associating an emotional desire with an action and fear of a punishment at the non performance of it will cause that action to be foremost in the subconscious part of my mind i remind myself that the worst thing about not making this ramadan special is going to be something worse than the penalty i have stipulated it will be the disappointment of a ramadan wasted and the risk of allah s wrath create peer pressure and responsibility i remind myself that if i make my friends and family aware of some of my goals then they might help me so i share some of my goals with them ensuring that i am doing it to engage their help in performing it not in a spirit of boasting i hope that this will give me added support and encouragement to ensure that they help me in achieving the good things i have set out to do if they do not help at the very least they should not mind when i excuse myself from their service or company in order to spend some time on working towards my goal i hope that some or all of these things will help you to look upon this ramadan with a fresh outlook make lots of dua to allah that this ramadan will be special for you for your family and for the ummah of our beloved sall allahu alaihi wa sallam i am interested in hearing from you if you have other things that you do to focus positively at the advent of another ramadan jazaakumullahulkhair and my duas for you and your family for a fantastic and blessed ramadan insha allah wassalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu tawfique chowdhury director general alkauthar institute and mercy mission world quick reminder june 24 2009 in al kauthar hearty quote quran leave a comment quick reminder from sh tawfique my brothers and sisters times like this it is prudent to remind ourselves that human beings are such fragile creatures we may build towering structures and traverse the seas and ascend the heavens to outerspace but a single splinter in our foot can take all enjoyment away and a single grain of sand in our eyes can be enough to blind us and take all attention away let us remind ourselves of what allah tells us in the quran and mankind was indeed created weak allahulmustaan wa alaihit tuklaan take 5 june 22 2009 in
