 *End of Devotion*

[[---- Part Two -----]]
------------------------------

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

It's our Du'a that Allah (swt) count us amongst people who will live long to witness very plenty decades observing Ramadan fast with sound health and faith in Allah (swt). Ameen Ya Hayyu La Yamootu Abadah.

However ,

We will soon be celebrating the peaceful end of the holy season of Ramadan - In Shaa Allah. But in terms of what an accepted Ramadan looks like, it’s important to remember that acceptance ultimately comes from Allah. And, there are certain signs that may indicate a successful Ramadan, such as feeling a sense of peace and closeness to Allah; experiencing spiritual growth and increased devotion; and seeing positive changes in one’s behavior and relationships (even after the end of Ramadan).

*Negatively Bidding Farewell to Ramadan by Preparing to Display Nakedness*

Eid is a joyous occasion for Muslims around the world. It is supposed to be a delight to have completed religious acts for a month. The permitted joy, however, has its limits. Yes. A Muslim or Muslimah is forbidden from disclosing their awrah (nakedness) to others. We see this either in reality or on social media, where many women show off their outfits for the day where their awrah can be seen.

Ramadan should be a “madrasah” that teaches us to observe our faith as Muslims even after Ramadan. Why don’t we avoid exposing the awrah, which is strictly forbidden?

The same holds true when visiting relatives and close friends. Some men and women who are not mahram shake hands. This is a religiously forbidden practice.

“By Allah, the Prophet  (pbuh) has never touched a woman’s hand (ajnabi),” ‘Aisyah (r.a.) said. “It is better for you to be pierced by an iron 💉 than to touch a woman who is not halal for you,” 📚at-Tabarani.

My people!

The Eid (or Sallah) is a period for us to reflect on the essence of life. If anyone doubts the vulnerability of this temporal world, let him ask after Prophet Sulaiman (AS) and the efficacies of his commands over mankind and Jinn. Today, Prophet Sulaiman (AS) is no more. Where is Dhul-Qarnayn; a man who had everything called wealth on earth? Today, he is no more. Ask of Namruzu bn Kan’an (upon whom is Allah’s curse) who was so strong and influential that he became the first “heartless oppressor” on earth. Today, he is no more. Where also are the companions of the Prophet (pbuh) some of whom were granted special ‘tickets to Heaven’ here on earth? Yet, they are not here today. If you are still in doubts about how futile and vain this world is, ask yourself about your own great grandparents. Where are they?
