Make this Ramadhān an opportunity to taste حلاوة الإيمان (the sweetness of Imān)
Tasting the sweetness of Imān is one of the secrets of حداية (enduring guidance), because whenever a person tastes and experiences the sweetness of something, he keeps craving more and more for it and he keeps going for it again and again. This thing keeps impacting and transforming his life until it takes complete control and shaping of it!
Know, however, that tasting the sweetness of Imaan is not a one-time event. It is a great journey... it requires knowledge, spiritual insight, focus, patience, and continuous efforts until all darks spots and fogs on the heart are removed and replaced by سكينة (inner peace and tranquility) and نور الحداية (Light of guidance) all of which emanates from Allah to the heart during the process.
When this is attained, the soul will then gain clarity, and worship no longer becomes a burden but a pleasurable experience. This is the sweetness and delight of Imaan, and within that terrain lies the pleasure of The Most Merciful.
He (عز وجل) says in one of the Qudsi ahādeeth... "𝑾𝒉𝒐𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒘𝒔 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝑴𝒆 𝒃𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒕𝒉 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒅, 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒘 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒊𝒎 𝒃𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒕𝒉 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒓𝒎. 𝑾𝒉𝒐𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒘𝒔 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝑴𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒚 𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒕𝒉 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒓𝒎, 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒘 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒊𝒎 𝒃𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒕𝒉 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒇𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒎. 𝑾𝒉𝒐𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑴𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒍𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒊𝒎 𝒓𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈. 𝑾𝒉𝒐𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝑴𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒉, 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑴𝒆, 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒎𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒉𝒊𝒎 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒂𝒔 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔."
O Allah, grant us strength and guidance and lead us to that which pleases You.
Aameen.
