AMAR Reflections #19:
CTTO: Al-Madrasatu ArRahmaniya (Ustadh Abdurahman Hassan)
Do you want this Ramadan to be the Ramadan that Allah frees you from the hellfire forever? The Ramadan that you become closer to Allah than you ever before? The Ramadan that changes your life and destiny forever and determines your eternity?
This isnโt far fetched or wishful thinking. This is a reality that you can make happen with Allahโs permission and assistance and sheer hard work. Start preparing, and start preparing now.
Not everyone who stood beside us last Ramadan is standing beside us today. Some of our loved ones are wrapped in white, beneath the soil, relying on our dua.
*You are still here.*
Allah chose for you to witness this Ramadan. What if it is your last Ramadan? Make it count.

O you who believe, fasting has been prescribed upon you as it was prescribed upon those before you so that you may attain taqwa.
Ramadan is for all of us, every Muslim. It is for those who are excelling and for those who are drowning in sin. For those who pray consistently every single day without fail, and for those who struggle to pray even just once a day. It is for those who have memorised the entire Quran and for those who can barely recite.
Ramadan is a chance, an opportunity and mercy for us all. No matter what spiritual state you currently find yourself in, Ramadan is for you to transform and become the Muslim you have always dreamt of being, it is time to be the best version of yourself.
Do not enter it casually.
Enter it like someone desperate for forgiveness.
Enter it like someone who knows their sins are heavy.
Enter it like someone who understands that life is fragile.
Lengthen your sujood and let your tears flow.
Hold the Qurโan like it is a letter written directly to you.
Make duโa as if you are speaking to the only One who truly hears you, because you are.
Do not let Ramadan pass like it has passed before.
Let this be the Ramadan that changes you.
The Ramadan that softens your heart.
The Ramadan that erases years of distance between you and Allah.
The Ramadan that writes your name among those freed from the Fire.
*The month of the Qurโan:*

The month of Ramadan is that in which the Qurโan was revealed, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights the month, let him fast it.
Ramadan is the month of the Qurโan, do not let a day go by except that you recite the words of our merciful lord with a present heart, a beautiful melody and deep reflection. Let your heart connect with Allahโs words and be moved by the personal messages Allah sends us.
Use the Qurโan as a light and guide in your life and apply it to your respective situation and circumstances. Let it soothe your heart that is carrying many worries, let it comfort you. Find solace in its promises and know that through staying attached to it ,you will find true success and prosperity in this life and the hereafter.
*Allah is near:*

And when My servants ask you concerning Me, indeed I am near. I respond to the call of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.
Know dear Muslim brother or sister that Allah hears your dua and if you fill your heart with certainty, he promises to respond. Take all your needs to him and submit all of your affairs to him. Trust that through his infinite wisdom and mercy, he will deliver.
One sincere dua can change your life forever.
*Welcome Ramadan with eagerness:*

Fasting is for a limited number of days. So whoever among you is ill or on a journey, then an equal number of other days. And upon those who are able but with hardship is a ransom of feeding a poor person. And whoever volunteers good, it is better for him. And that you fast is better for you, if only you knew.
These few days will pass like the blink of an eye, just as it has done every year. This is an unmissable opportunity and a wake up call. Exert yourself for a few, numbered days and gain eternal reward.

The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months.
Perhaps catching the night of decree in this Ramadan alone will be the very reason why your scales are tipped, and your good deeds will outweigh your bad deeds.
*A divine atmosphere:*

When Ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained.
This is a chance to thrive during a time where you are surrounded by a divine atmosphere. A time where temptations are limited, where reward is multiplied and opportunities to do good surround you from every corner. This is a testament to Allahโs mercy, his encouragement and his want to see us excel.
*A reward like no other:*

Indeed, Allah has those whom He frees from the Fire every day and night โ meaning in Ramadan โ and indeed every Muslim has a supplication each day and night that is answered.
Be smart dear Muslim brother and sister and know that the reward of this month is like no other. It is not a time to be negligent and heedless. It is a time to race towards goodness and a time to cultivate righteousness.

The Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ said: Indeed Jibreel came to me and said: O Muhammad, whoever reaches Ramadan and is not forgiven, then enters the Fire, may Allah distance him. Say Ameen. So I said Ameen.
This alone should be a deterrent and motivation for us to not exit Ramadan in the same state in which we entered it. This is a dua made by the best of angels, that was responded to by the best of prophets. How can you hear and be aware of this and let Ramadan pass you by without doing everything in your power to strive to be forgiven.
In the few days we have until Ramadan enters, renew your intentions. Intend that every good you do will be sincerely for the sake of Allah alone, desiring his pleasure and seeking his reward. Make a promise to yourself that you will do everything in your ability to make it your best Ramadan yet. Treat it as if it is your last ever Ramadan. Free your heart from any grudges or malice to your fellow brothers and sisters in Islam, forgive those who have wronged you, seeking the forgiveness of Allah. Attach your heart to the Qurโan and recite it more than you ever have before.
Raise your hands to Allah, the one who created the heavens and the earth and everything in between and ask him, sincerely, with a present and humble heart, to make you from those who are successful this Ramadan.
Ask him to be from those who are freed from the hellfire for *eternity*.
