Ramadhan: Time to Improve.

DawudTalut

Peace be upon you.
Peace be on you. Purification and reforms of selves is the main purpose of coming of Hazrat Promised Messiah (on whom be peace). To fulfill dues to Bai'at, Ahmadis have to keep commandments of Allah the Exalted in view and practice them to seek His pleasure. Special atmosphere of Ramadhan helps us to reflect how much do we make commandments of Allah part of our lives.

Some of the commandments which play role in purification of self:

[25:64] 'And the servants of the Gracious God are those who walk on the earth in a dignified manner, and when the ignorant address them, they say, 'Peace!'


Allah wants love, peace and brotherhood in the world and human to get free form snares of Satan and this world become like paradise.



Ramadan has the glad-tidings of doors of Paradise being wide open during it and doors of Hell closed and God coming closer to man. God is indeed close to man at all times, the significance here is that He enhances rewards of good works during Ramadan. Every Ahmadi, who is a true Muslim, who has taken Bai'at of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) to become servant of the Gracious God, needs to give up arrogance and conceit, end estrangements, bring about reconciliation and spread peace with humbleness at home and in society.


The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) taught us to adopt humility to such a degree that none should be proud of anything.


Ahmadis are duty bound to refute the allegations against Holy Prophet (s.a.w.)’s blessed person.



The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) said 'Allah says whoever adopts humility for My sake this much', and he lowered the palm of his hand until it touched the ground, 'I will raise him this high' and he lifted the palm of his hand very high.



Ramadhan is the time for self reflection to end family disputes for the sake of Allah and create an environment of peace. Prayers should be made for opponents so that disorder and chaos in the world ends….In Ramadhan, we should bring about pure changes and gain acceptance of prayers, turn to Allah and seek His help to remove all kind of pride and arrogance.



One cannot be true believer, rather one is arrogant unless both rights of God and rights of mankind are fulfilled. Fulfilling these rights is not something lofty but is the obligation of every true believer and fulfilling these rights alone lead to one's prayers gaining acceptance.

[4:37] 'And worship Allah and associate naught with Him, and show kindness to parents, and to kindred, and orphans, and the needy, and to the neighbour that is a kinsman and the neighbour that is a stranger, and the companion by your side, and the wayfarer, and those whom your right hands possess. Surely, Allah loves not the proud and the boastful,'


This verse encompasses the rights of all humanity...These are rights of parents, relatives, the needy, neighbours, travellers, other acquaintances and those who are under our care.


May Allah enable us to worship Him as well as fulfill the rights of mankind and may we all truly become servants of the Gracious God.
