Ramadhan Day 29 -- It's Not Over Until It's Over

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate

Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

Soon we will have to bid farewell to our noble guest, Ramadhan. The month of the Qur'an is almost over. But it's not over until it's over. This night is the last of the odd nights of Ramadhan, in which we hope to find Laylatul Qadr. Spend this night in much worship and seeking forgiveness from Allah Most High, and devote your time to Allah as much as you can.

Taraweeh and qiyamu lail for some parts of the world have passed and for those in the Northern Hemisphere, you still have the chance to gain that extra reward in this blessed month. Don't miss this opportunity and don't let the masajid become lean with people for taraweeh and qiyamu lail because you are preparing for Eid!

For the rest who just completed their last taraweeh or qiyam, reap the benefits of Ramadhan while it lasts during this final moments with many other good deeds--give extra charity and pay your sadaqatul fitr (this is obligatory on every Muslim) and zakat before your Eid prayer.

Also, read more Qur'an. Remember each letter you recite is one reward, and rewards are multiplied by ten of their kind. You should try to complete reciting the Qur'an this one last time in Ramadhan, perhaps you can gather your family members and friends to do a group khatm.

Regarding Ramadhan, it was reported that the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: "...Whoever draws nearer (to Allah) by performing any of the (optional) good deeds in (this month) shall receive the same reward as performing an obligatory deed at any other time, and whoever performs an obligatory deed in (this month) shall receive the reward of performing seventy obligation at any other time..."

May Allah pour His blessing upon us and accept our worship and all acts of good deeds. Ameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam.

And Allah knows best and He alone grants success.

Wassalaam
