Overtime in Ramadhān
When we have the opportunity to do overtime at work and earn time and a half or double pay, we ensure we do not miss out on the opportunity.
In Ramadhān, a fardh (compulsory) action is worth seventy times its value and a nafl (optional) action is worth the same as a fardh action out of Ramadhān. Despite the increase in rewards being so huge, we do not find the zeal to do anything extra for our hereafter, in stark contrast to our readiness to do overtime for material gain.
Jewellery Box
Imagine a jewellery box filled with jewellery. For as long as there is jewellery inside this box, the box will be kept safe and looked after. As soon as the box is emptied, the box will no longer have any value.
This is exactly the example of a hāfiz. For as long as the Qur'ān remains embedded in his heart, he will be kept safe from sins, evils, disgrace and other calamities in this world. He will also have the respect of others.
A Golden Opportunity Before Iftār
During Ramadhān we should routinely spend 10-15 minutes before the adhān for Maghrib in Du'ā.
Each one of us has numerous spiritual, physical and material needs. Hence we should ask from Allāh ta'ālā during this period, for it is a time of acceptance.
We should counsel ourselves that these moments are golden opportunities and if they slip away we may never get another chance.
Words of Wisdom
Upon observing a speed camera, a driver immediately slows his car, because he is aware that he is being watched; he fears the consequences of speeding. Likewise a person who undergoes spiritual training will always feel the presence of Allāh ta'ālā and will always remember, wherever he may be: ‘Allāh ta'ālā is watching me!’
