Ending Ramadan with Shukur & Istighfar

Arif billah Hazrat Dr Abdul Hayy ra said;
Once I led a prayer jamah. After finishing I said aloud, “Alhumdulillah“.
A person from the audience enquired, “is it appropriate to be thankful on a worship filled with deficiencies?”
“Yes! Indeed”, I told him. “Look at the tawfeeq from Allah SWT and thank for it. It is a special favor and gift. There are many Muslim among us who even lack this.
As far as deficiencies are concerned I acknowledge their existence and make istagfar(repentance) for them but being a ‘abd (slave) whatever I do and how much I try to excel in it, they will remain full of defects and deficiencies.
It is the perfection of slavehood (‘abdiyat) to be aware of your deficient state.
Utilizing these precious moments of life then why shouldn’t I contemplate on Allah SWT’sbenevolence and be thankful?”
Just a reminder for all of us to be thankful to Allah SWT for the gift of Ramadan, ability to fast, pray, make dua and charity etc.. Also a reminder for istigfar/repentance for all our short comings.

‘There are eleven months to acquire knowledge. However, the blessed month of Ramadan is for actions alone.’

Ramzan kis tarah guzaray

Fasting. The wisdom and it’s affectionate explanation

اَعُوْذُ باِﷲ ِ مِنَ شَّیطَانِ الرَّجِیْم
بِسْمِ  اﷲ ِ  الرَّحمن  ِ الرَّحِیْم
يَايُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءامَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمْ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
(Al Quran 2:183)
Allah Ta’ala (Jalla Jalalahu) is showing His divine favor and mercy by saying ‘O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you’. Allama Aloosi Syed Mahmood Baghdadi have said in Tafseer Roohul Ma’ani that this ayat is revealed to provide comfort by informing that Fasting is not difficult. Fast, as people before you did. It means that this evil doubt that comes to your mind about dying by  being starved from sunrise to the sunset during the Fast (is false). No one ever died. The people before you did it and lived.
كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ
‘As it was prescribed to those before you’. The people before you had fast and they survived and no one ever died. So the suspicion of being  starved to death  by fasting, is fallacious. You will sustain. Because this is an order of the Sustainer. You will get a new life (energy) in your life by obeying His command.
لَعَلَّکُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
Why did I (the almighty Allah) made the Fasting obligatory? So that you can become a friend of Mine. You are only a slave right now. Believer enters into slavery by believing but you will only be crowned with My friendship when you will Fast. Are you all hearing the reward of Fasting? You are only a slave at the moment. If you Fast, I (the almighty Allah) will put the crown of My friendship on the head of your slavery. Because in another ayat Allah Ta’ala informs the believer اِنا اولیاء الالمتقون. ‘No one is My friend except those who are muttaqi (the pious)’. Those who abstain from sins.
