IMMIMPANGKEP – The ‘Ulamā have stated that how we spend the whole week depends on how we spend the day of Jumu‘ah.  If we spend the day of Jumu‘ah in obedience to Allāh, then through the barakah of this Allāh will grant us the ability to remain steadfast throughout the week.

Similarly, how we spend the whole year depends on how we spend the month of Ramaḍān. If we value the blessed month of Ramaḍān, we will witness the positive effects of this throughout the year. We will be able to obey Allāh and seek His Pleasure in the remaining eleven months.

This will then have a knock-on effect upon the following Ramaḍān which in turn, will secure the year after. If this cycle continues, we will remain obedient to Allāh throughout our lives and depart from this world with the Pleasure of Allāh. We will be given the glad tidings:

O the content soul! Return to your Rabb, in a state that you are pleased with Him and He is pleased with you. Enter among my (chosen) servants and enter my Jannah. (89: 27-30)

The question is how do we value the month of Ramaḍān? The answer is by making sure we do not waste a single moment of this blessed and precious month. 💎
