Snap back to reality

Firstly, I would like to say that Ramadaan is wonderful and the first two days have been terrific. There is so much of peace and an atmosphere in the masajids that brings about an unbelievable amount of peace and contentment. The peace that is experienced in Taraweeh is really out of this world. Since Ramadaan has started, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about life out of Ramadaan and two questions or thoughts that came to my mind are, how would we live if Nabi (S.A.W.) was with us and the second is the thought of death? These two thoughts have ‘snapped me back to reality’ many times in the past.

If we have to analyze our environment, we would come to the conclusion that sin dominates good. It has come to such an extent that some actions have become a norm in society, that what was considered haraam in previous times are now considered ok or like I hear so often, the better of the two evils. As a community or individual, we should first recognize a sin in order to correct it. Today, we have forgotten that we have forgotten. Insha-Allah, may Allah (S.W.T.) give us the strength to change our environment back to the way it was in the time of the master of both the worlds, Nabi (S.A.W.). Aameen

I am not going to go into a discussion of the evils that are common in today’s times as that would mean discussing the signs of Qiyaamah. I think the previous two paragraphs can spark many thoughts in the reader and Insha-Allah encourages me first and all that read this to analyze ourselves and come closer to Allah (S.W.T.) and the Sunnah of Nabi (S.A.W.).

The author humbly requests one and all to make dua for the Ummah and for him and his family.
