Ramadhaan – The Milestones…
Good, Better & Best!
“The month of Ramadhaan, the Month of Blessings has come to you, wherein Allah turns towards you and sends down to you His Special Mercy, forgives your faults, accepts Du’as, appreciates your competition for the greatest, good and boasts to the angels about you. So, show to Allah your righteousness; for verily, the most pitiable and unfortunate one is he who is deprived of Allah’s Mercy in this month.” (Fazaa’il-e-A’maal, virtues of Ramadhaan)
We are very soon approaching the middle of Ramadhaan, and many men (we are only discussing the men here) have thus far accomplished Wonderful Goals – Allahu Akbar!
Let us briefly view the basic, yet wonderful Goals some men have achieved thus far. We have penned them in the above title, ‘good, better and the best’.
GOOD…
Men, who were not punctual with the basic five Fardh Salaahs, have thus far become punctual with them. Thus far, this Ramadhaan, they have not missed a single Salaah. Alhamdulillah!
BETTER…
Men, who were not punctual with their five Salaahs in the Masjid with Jamaat, have thus far not missed a single Salaah in the Masjid, with Jamaat. Allahu-Akbar!
BEST…
Men, who were or were not punctual with Salaah with Jamaat in the Masjid, have thus far achieved the most outstanding Goal this Ramadhaan. They have not missed a single Fardh Salaah, behind the Imaam (i.e. with Jamaat), in the Masjid, with Takbeer-e-Ula! Masha Allah! Subhaanallah! Alhamdulillah! Allahu-Akbar!
Added to the BEST category of men, is that they have performed each respective Salaah with ALL its due Raka’aats. Noorun-‘Alaa-Noor!
This means, daily, thus far, they have performed ALL Salaahs in the Masjid, with Jamaat, with Takbeer-e-Ula, and with ALL the Rak’aats of each Salaah. Example: Asr Salaah, daily thus far, they performed 8 Rak’aats (4 Sunnats and 4 Fardh). Likewise for all other Salaahs.
May Allah Ta’ala make us all from the BEST category of men and grant us Tawfeeq to at least be from the BEST in the remaining days of Ramadhaan, Aameen Thumma Aameen.
