THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 16th day of Sha’abaan, 1444AH (Wednesday 8th March 2023). *_RAMADHAN IS APPROACHING LET'S STRIVE TO CHANGE POSITIVELY_*. BismilLah.
Based on the narrations from our reminder yesterday, it is upon us as individuals, to examine the shortcomings in our character, and to then seek to improve them - modelling ourselves upon the character of the last of the Prophets and Messengers, and their leader, Muhammad (Sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) aspiring also for the excellence which he mentioned in his saying: "I am a guarantor for a house on the outskirts of Paradise for whosoever leaves off arguing, even if he is in the right; and a house in the centre of Paradise for whosoever abandons falsehood, even when joking; and a house in the upper-most part of Paradise for whosoever makes his character good." [Related by Aboo Daawood (no.4800) and al-Bayhaqee (10/249).
So by shunning oppression, shamelessness, harbouring hatred towards Muslims, back-biting, slandering, tale-carrying, and other types of falsehood, we can be saved from nullifying the rewards of our fasting - as ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: "It may be that a fasting person, receives nothing from his fast, except hunger and thirst." [Related by Ahmad (2/441) and Ibn Maajah (I/539), from Aboo Hurayrah (radiyallaahu ‘anhu).
*_We ask ALLAH to protect us all_*. Aameen.
