*30 Tips for a Guilt-Free Ramadān!*

*DAY 15*

*Have You Hit The Halfway Mark?*

Here are answers to a few frequently asked questions:

Q. How can you tell that you’re physically tired vs. 

simply being lazy?

A. It’s easy for our laziness to be masked as physical tiredness. We would stand at Taraweeh and our legs would be shaking or reciting Qur’an and our eyelids 

would be drooping, but the moment we go out of the 

mosque or close the Qur’an, suddenly we’re feeling very energetic! We have to be careful of this, catch ourselves and rebuke it when we find out we’re not tired, but simply being lazy.

Try to find the root cause for this laziness; is it lack of sincerity? Low eman? A sin you’ve committed that’s preventing you from enjoying the good deed? Make dua that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala removes such laziness 

from you. You don’t want it to ruin your Ramadan. However, if your body is genuinely aching and you haven’t slept properly for days, then you’re physically tired and should get some urgent rest.

Q. How can one get over the mental thought “let me just skip this good deed this time, I’ll do it later?”

A. “Tasweef” – the Arabic word for delaying doing things – is a common trick of Shaytaan. In fact it is one of his one of his best tricks yet. It sounds so good to delay a good deed until the ‘perfect’ time arrives; BUT the perfect time will never come. The perfect time is NOW! Also remember that each day of Ramadan that goes by without you doing as many good deeds as you can is a day that’s gone forever, and you’ll never see it again till the Day of Judgement. So how do you want to see your Ramadan days on the Day of Judgment? Full of good deeds or with empty slots because you kept ‘skipping’ good deeds? If you’ve come halfway through this blessed month, don’t let the good deeds slip; instead, invest in the few days which remain.
