Sulaiman Moola

The blessed & most beautiful month is near and what better time to prepare for it than right now. Some of us deceive ourselves into thinking that when Ramadhan comes we will suddenly change and worship Allah night and day but we are only deceiving ourselves in thinking like this. The Sahabah used to prepare for Ramadhan six months in advance. So if we really want to make the best of this Ramadhan then we need to prepare for it now! This may be our last Ramadhan for life is so uncertain. Then there is NO doubt that we must make the best of it for the Reward of EVERY good act in the month of Ramadhan is multiplied many times over: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: Whoever draws near to Allah during it (Ramadan) with a single characteristic from the characteristics of (voluntary) goodness, he is like whoever performs an obligatory act in other times. And whoever performs an obligatory act during it, he is like whoever performed seventy obligatory acts in other times. (Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah, no. 1887)
