And soon we will be welcoming a NOBLE GUEST, a guest of mercy and
blessings. One full year has passed since his last visit.
He was your guest for 30 days and again, he is
at our doorstep waiting for you to open the door so he may fill your homes with
blessings and favours of Allaah. He is yours, mine & all Muslims’ guest
& we ask Allaah subhaanahu wa ta3alaa to enable us to behave well during
his stay and to bless us to take advantage of his presence.
It is well known that the more you love your
guest, the more you prepare
yourself to welcome him; the more you respect your guest, the more
things you plan to entertain him or to make his visit most comfortable. And if
that guest happens to be someone from among our close relatives coming from
overseas, then we plan way ahead before his arrival:
we paint our houses, we redesign our living rooms and his name is on every lip.
And if that guest is generous and is known to bring precious gifts for all
family members, then that makes him a super guest. And we
impatiently look forward to his generous gifts.
This blessed guest is not someone who may be a
dent on our budget or a cause of any loss in our time or wealth. Rather, that
guest is the noblest guest – the guest of mercy, the guest of happiness, the
guest, who would not take anything from us, rather he has come to give us the
most precious things: the things we are in dire need of, the things which would
become the source of our success and happiness.
This blessed guest is no one other than Ramadhan.
Wa maa adraaka maa Ramadhan?
This is in itself is a crash course to help us boost our eemaan,
get closer to our Rabb and to facilitate for us all means to achieve the
certificate of entrance to Jannah. Ramadhan – a school of eemaan and taqwa,
where every graduate is a winner. So do you know of any guest more important
than this guest?
Do you know of any guest coming with so much khayr (goodness)
and blessings?
Do you know of any guest staying with you for a month and not
asking to spend anything for him rather giving you so abundantly.
So let us reflect and prepare well and take good care of
this guest & have some reminders about this blessed guest – about this
month of Ramadhan, so that we may benefit & may this help us to take
maximum advantage of this guest.
May Allaah subhaanahu wa ta’alaa make us among
those who would have Ramadhan a hujjah (evidence) for them and
not against them and may He open all the doors of Jannah for us. May Allaah
subhaanahu wa ta’alaa also grant us the tawfeeq to do the
Siyaam and the Qiyaam ihtisaaban (seeking the reward).
