FAJR REMINDER: THE FAVOR OF ALLĀH!
By: Umm Affān
Sha'bān 14, 1447 (2-February-2026)
Dear brethren! Let us express our gratitude to Allāh for His countless Favors upon us, which we could never fully enumerate. The greatest of these Favors is Islām—the gift of being Muslims.
Additionally, Allāh allows us to strengthen our Eemān, enabling us to be conscious and practicing Muslims, unlike many others who may not be. This, too, is a significant Favor from Allāh, and we cannot thank Him enough.
Moreover, we find ourselves alive with eager anticipation for Ramaḍān. This is yet another tremendous Favor from Allāh, especially considering that many who were also looking forward to this year’s Ramaḍān have passed away. I pray that Allāh forgives and blesses our deceased brethren with Jannah.
The core purpose of our creation is to worship Allāh. Given this clarity, it is essential for us to understand that worshiping Allāh is obligatory, and we must remove anything that hinders us from fulfilling this duty.
It is important to note that whoever worships Allāh does so for their own benefit. Indeed, fasting during the month of Ramaḍān is one of the five Pillars of Islām. It is an act of worship ordained for Muslims that requires our focused attention to achieve success both in this world and in the Hereafter.
Subḥānallāh! The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) advised us, saying, “Take benefit of five before five: (One of which is) Your life before your death.” Living longer is certainly a great Favor from Allāh, allowing us more opportunities to worship Him. Therefore, as we prepare to meet Ramaḍān, which begins in the next fifteen or sixteen days, let us take it seriously. We should devote ourselves to worshiping Allāh as if it were our last.
I beseech Allāh to grant us the opportunity to reach Ramaḍān and bless us abundantly during this month. Aameen.
