When Allah SWT gives us taqwa then He makes us to taste the
sweetness of His closeness and we should never ignore this once
Ramadhan is over – and that is only possible when we know Allah
SWT and His actions and attributes – we get close to Him through
knowing Him because He is the One who has created the heavens and the earth and everything in between
in exact measurement as Allah SWT says in Surah Furqan Ayah 2.
The days and the nights of Ramadhan are blessings of Allah SWT ( ) because He
wants us to feel the beauty of purified heart and taqwa only for His sake but we
should be careful about the fact that we do this not only in Ramadhan but always as
we are servants of Allah SWT and not the servants of Ramadhan - don’t be the ones
who know Allah SWT only in this month; always be attached to Quran – hold it and ask Allah SWT for
help.
Allah SWT knows even the movements of our heart – Allah
SWT says in Surah Furqan that He is the one who knows all the secrets of the
heavens and the earth – nothing is hidden from Him so we need to be watchful of
the movements of our hearts. We need to be aware of the fitnah and the trials in
our lives – Ramadhan is like an intense course in taqwa and when we come out of it then we have to apply
the taqwa to control our hearts to face the trials of the remaining eleven months –
and the biggest fitnah we face is given in Surah Furqan Ayah 20 – Allah SWT
has made each other as fitnah for us and we have enemies in these:
• The Self - the first enemy ( ) is the self itself – in
addition to the enemies outside we are facing the enemy within oneself as
Allah SWT tells in Surah Ma’idah in the story of the two sons of Adam
that if we don’t have control over the nafs that it makes sin fair seeming to
us and encourages us to do very serious crimes even like murder – all the more reason to have taqwa to fight
this enemy which is always attached to us;

on the way to Allah SWT we will have enemies but we don’t have to worry because we know that sufficient
for us is relying on Allah SWT and take Him as a Guide and Helper.
We should always remember Quran which is our friend –
never forget or neglect it and make it as your companion -
Allah SWT says in Surah Furqan Ayah 1 that the Blessed
One has sent the Quran as a warner to the mankind so that they be aware.
The alarming situation is when the teachings of Quran are abandoned and
forsaken and the complaint will be made by Nabi SAW against his ummah
that they had deserted the Quran which was in front of them and what could
be more disastrous for the mankind and we are afraid that all our good deeds
will be wasted on a day when there will be recompense and everybody will
be standing in front of Allah SWT so the only objective should be to take
Quran as our companion seeking Allah’s help to continue moving on the
right path.
The days and the nights of Ramadhan were so beautiful with Quran as our companion and who would want
to discontinue that blessing – as the month comes to end there is a mixed feeling – feeling of happiness and
fear – nothing we can do except praying Allah SWT to accept our deeds and we hasten towards You so that
You accept – we don’t want to lose the feeling of joy in this month and take with us the feeling even
afterwards and pray Allah SWT to give the feeling of Ramadhan even after it and the joy of worshipping
Him with the same delight Ameen.
What to do after Ramadhan?
• Repenting and seeking forgiveness – receiving the
month of Ramadhan and bidding farewell should be with purified heart with the repentance and seeking
forgiveness – there are so much shortcomings and deficiencies in our ibadah that we can never fulfill the
rights of Allah SWT but out of His Mercy he has granted us the repentance and accepts our incomplete and
deficient ibadah SubhanAllah. Allah SWT says in Surah An Nisa Ayah 106 ‘And seek forgiveness of
Allah. Indeed, Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful ‘

• Asking acceptance of our deeds after the month
of Ramadhan and get attached to Allah SWT and pray Him for the
acceptance of Ramadhan deeds – companions of Nabi SAW used to pray
six months after Ramadhan for the acceptance of their deeds. Allah SWT
has mentioned in Surah Baqara Ayah 127 that Allah SWT gave them
the job of raising the foundation of His House and what could be better than this job and they were feeling
that Allah SWT deserves more and we did not do more so they prayed for the acceptance of their deeds then
what about our humble and deficient deeds.
• Asking for steadfastness: keeping us firm on the right way and avoiding distraction an
deviation and should pray O
Allah SWT we ask you to keep our hearts alive and awake on your obedience and guidance till we meet
You Ameen.
Advices from Quran after Ramadhan:
� don’t rejoice with the duniya and yourself – as in the story of Qarun – if
you want to feel happy then feel happy with Allah SWT and His bounties always grateful to Him and asking
His help – duniya takes us away from the goal;
� seek with the blessings Allah SWT has bestows upon us the Paradise – use
the resources as means to reach the Paradise;
� don’t forget your share of this duniya –Allah SWT gives us the blessings for us
to be grateful to Him and use these blessings to get closer to Him;
� be good as Allah SWT is good to us; good to ourselves by doing His ibadah
with ihsaan;
� don’t spread mischief in the land and indulge in the sins
because Allah SWT does not love the ones who spread mischief and sin;
