We, as human, wander among certain\nmoods and desires. Despite our fluctuant life and uncertainties we face, we\nremain in a constant struggle to achieve calmness. But after enduring years of suffering and\ndifficulty in work, study, and scheduling, we realize that we are faced with an\neven greater problem in our way: \u201cthe routine\u201d. \nThis routine fashion of life slowly separates us from our daily tasks\nand prevents us understanding the true essence of worship, love, and wisdom.\nAll aspects in life become a boring, regular habit; and of course anytime habit\nis involved, love and wisdom retreat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The auspicious month of Ramadan enters\nour life at this very point. It changes our most obvious habits of eating and\nsleeping. And it is from this revolution in our habits that we can rejuvenate\nour beliefs and perspectives, and as a result free ourselves from our ignorance\ntowards the realities in life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP)\nexperienced Mi’raj, Allah (SWT) asked him: “O! Muhammad. Do you know what\nthe legacy of fasting is?” The Prophet (PBUH&HP) answered no, and\nAllah (SWT) said: “The legacy of (a proper) fast is eating little and\ntalking less.” Allah (SWT) then continued, “Silence is followed by\nwisdom, and wisdom will bring insight and cognition, and as a result insight\nwill be followed by certainty. And once\ncertainty is attained, he will not fear the way time passes. Hardships and\ncomfort will not differ for him, and this is the state that is achieved by the\nowners of \u201csatisfaction\u201d. Three characteristics always accompany him who acts\naccording to My will:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Thanks and\nappreciation that is not infected with ignorance<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. A remembrance that\nprevents forgetfulness from entering it<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. An affection that\nnever prefers another to it<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And as he loves Me, I too will love\nhim, and make my creatures love him too.” (1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On behalf of Roshd website, we\ncongratulate all Muslims, and especially you dear friend for the arrival of the\nholy month of Ramadan, the spring for Quran, and the month for closeness of the\nheavens and the earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
