Bint-e-Muhammad Rafi
Why can't the month of Ramadan last forever...? 🥺
This question arises from the heart... when the eye opens in the silence of Sehri, when the voice of the Fajr prayer awakens the soul, when the eyes become moist while praying at the time of Iftar... then the heart says:
O Allah! May this month never end...
Ramadan is not actually the name of time... it is the name of a state.
It is the month in which hearts become soft, eyes fill up quickly, love for the Quran increases, hatred for sins begins, and a person feels very close to Allah.
But Ramadan not lasting forever is also the wisdom of Allah.
If Ramadan lasted all year, perhaps the same value would not remain... the same longing, the same waiting, the same enthusiasm would not remain.
Allah Almighty has sent it as a guest... so that we appreciate it, feel the sorrow of its departure, and keep ourselves together until the next Ramadan.
Ramadan comes to teach us that:
You can live the same way in ordinary days too.
You can be patient even without eating and drinking.
You can wake up for Tahajjud.
You can connect with the Quran.
You can avoid sins.
Ramadan does not last forever...
But the training of Ramadan can last forever.
The real question is not why Ramadan goes away...
The real question is whether our heart remains the same even after Ramadan?
The person who protects the prayers even after Ramadan, maintains a relationship with the Quran, avoids sins, gives charity, remains soft-hearted...
Then the whole year can become Ramadan for him.
Ramadan is a school...
The school does not always run... but its education remains with you for life.
May Allah grant us such a heart that Ramadan goes, but the light of Ramadan does not go...
Ramadan ends, but our relationship with Allah does not end...
And may He bring us to this blessed month again and again.
Ameen, Ya Rabb-al-Aalameen 🤍
