The Blessing of One More Ramadan

Be grateful for the gift of another Ramadan.

Every extra day we live is an opportunity to rise in the sight of Allah.

Two friends became Muslim together. One of them used to strive harder than the other, and he was martyred, while the other lived another year longer. Later, Talhah ibn ‘Ubaidullah saw in a dream that the one who lived longer was in a higher level of Paradise. When this was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ, he explained that the second companion had more time to perform good deeds, to reach another Ramadan, and to fast extra days—and it was this extra worship that elevated his rank. 

(Sunan Ibn Majah)

SubḥānAllāh.

An additional Ramadan… a few more fasts… a little more dhikr… a few more smiles… a few kind words… a little extra charity…

can raise a person to a place in Jannah beyond imagination.

So do not take this Ramadan lightly. Rush to good deeds.

This may be your last opportunity. You may not see Ramadan again. So, rush to a good deed now. Don’t wait.

Be grateful that Allah has allowed you to witness it again. Every fast is for Him alone—and its full reward awaits in the Hereafter.

 

May Allah accept our fasting, forgive our sins, and raise our ranks in Jannah. Aameen.

Ramadan Mubarak!! 

Please include us in your du’as.

It was narrated from Talhah bin ‘Ubaidullah that two men from Bali came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). They had become Muslim together, but one of them used to strive harder than the other. The one who used to strive harder went out to fight and was martyred. The other one stayed for a year longer, then he passed away. Talhah said:

“I saw in a dream that I was at the gate of Paradise and I saw them (those two men). Someone came out of Paradise and admitted the one who had died last, then he came out and admitted the one who had been martyred. Then he came back to me and said: ‘Go back, for your time has not yet come.’” The next morning, Talhah told the people of that and they were amazed. News of that reached the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and they told him the story. He said: “Why are you so amazed at that?” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, the first one was the one who strove harder, then he was martyred, but the other one was admitted to Paradise before him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Did he not stay behind for a year?” They said: “Yes.” He said: “And did not Ramadan come and he fasted, and he offered such and such prayers during that year?” They said: “Yes.” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The difference between them is greater than the difference between heaven and earth.” (Sunan ibn Majah 3925)
