Advice to the Muslims Before Ramadhaan
By Shaykh Salih al-Fawzaan
Question:
What is your advise
to the Muslims for the approach of the month of Ramadhaan? Allah preserve you.
Answer:
It is obligatory upon
the Muslim to ask Allah to allow him to reach Ramadhaan and to aid him in
fasting and the night prayer and carrying out [righteous] actions. Because it
is a great opportunity in the life of a Muslim.
“Whoever fasts
Ramadhaan with true faith and hoping for reward then his previous sins will be
forgiven.”
“Whoever stands in
night prayer in Ramadhaan with true faith and hoping for reward, then his
previous sins will be forgiven.”
So it is an
opportunity in the life of a Muslim that may not return to him again.
A Muslim becomes
happy at the approach of Ramadhaan and rejoices in it. He welcomes it with
happiness and delight.
He takes advantage of
it in the worship of Allah, during its nights he prays and during its days he
fasts and recites the Qur’an, so it is a booty for the Muslim.
As for those who,
when Ramadhaan comes, prepare corrupt entertainment programmes, soaps, fables
and competitions to busy the Muslims – they are the armies of Shaytaan.
Shaytaan recruited
them for this, so a Muslim should be aware of them and warn against them.
Ramadhaan is not a
time of amusement, play, soaps and prizes and competitions and wasting time.
