Spending Ramadhan correctly

All praise is due to Allah swt, Lord of the worlds and May His peace and blessings be upon His final prophet and messenger, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam.

Assalaamualaykum. W. W.

I pray your all well and your Ramadhan is going well too. I also pray your fasts have been easy and will get easier. Ameen.

I’ve been meaning to share the message my respected teacher sent to us as Ramadhan set in. I pray it benefits you, the same way it has benefitted me. Ameen.

Hazrat Hakeem-ul-Ummat Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi RA used to mention regarding the month of Ramadhan that spending the month correctly will have a positive effect on how the rest of the year is spent. In light of this, we should endeavour to:

Abstain from all sins, especially the sins of Gheebah and gossip.
To aid in this, refrain from wasting time on Whatsapp and other forms of social media as much if this eventually leads to sin.

Spend time sincerely reflecting on our individual shortcomings and faults and make a sincere Tawbah and strive to reform ourselves.

Abstain from futile talk and senseless actions as this is a sign of ingratitude of this blessed month.

Remember death excessively as this will help to soften our hearts.

Beseech Allah’s mercy and grace and ask for Tawfeeq and Istiqaamah.

May Allah SWT grant us all the ability to spend the blessed month wisely so that we become worthy of His special attention, love and mercy. Ameen.
