Once again we are witnessing the blessed Month of Ramadhan arriving in our lives, in our homes, in our communities and in our Ummah. Once again this month is offering us time for reflection and contemplation- time for assessing our lives, time for challenging our direction in life and time to look deeply at our actions conducted over the last year.
Allah (swt), the Almighty, says in the Qur’an "In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day, there are signs for people of intelligence: those who remember Allah, standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth: 'Our Lord, You have not created this for nothing. Glory to You!" (3:190-191)
Hence we must embrace this opportunity whole-heartedly and take advantage of this guest who is here for a short while with us, whose presence illuminates all and brings a happiness with it that no Pound or Dollar can buy or substitute.
Let this month not be one of becoming a monk, hiding in a corner, with worn out clothes, eating simple food and distancing oneself from the world. This is the month of opening our homes for dawah, strengthening our family ties, accounting the corrupt regimes in the Muslim world, Spending in the way of Allah on masjids and charity, inviting neighbors for Iftaar, becoming the voice for victims of illegal occupation all around the world, Discussing Islam at School, college, university and work, Prolonging our sajdahs, enjoining the good and forbidding the evil, Feeding the poor and orphans and working tirelessly for re-establishing the Shariah rules completely through the authority of the Khilafah state.
Allah (swt) says in the Qur’an "O you who believe, enter into the fold of Islam completely" [Al-Baqarah:208]
May Allah (swt) help us in this month to meet the standards which he (swt) set for us and build within us a spirit of passion for his deen, love for his habib (saw), become guardians of his shariah and aid us in the work to re-establish Khilafah rashidah. Ameen
Ahmad ibn Hanbal narrated in his Musnad that the prophet (pbuh) said: "The Prophethood will remain among you for as long as Allah wills, then Allah will lift it when He wishes to, then it will be a Khilafah Rashidah (Rightly Guided) on the method of the Prophethood, it will remain for as long as Allah wills, then Allah will lift it if He wishes, then it will be a hereditary leadership which will remain for as long as Allah wills, then He will lift it if he wishes, then it will be a tyrannical rule, and it will remain so for as long as Allah wills, then He will lift it if He wishes, then it will be a Khilafah on the method of the Prophethood, then he kept silent."
