The Beauty of Ramadan

13 April by Mawlana Sheikh Muhammad Adil Ar-Rabbani

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem

Allah ﷻ gave a special condition to people with faith. He gives favours both to believers and unbelievers. But believers get benefit from those favours here and hereafter. 

One of them is this holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan has its beauty. 

Not only in Muslim countries, but Muslims all over the world, when they pray and fast, they feel its beauty. Wherever they are, they feel it. This is the secret Allah ﷻ gave to people. And He is giving this beauty in this world to people with Iman (faith). 

No matter how much unbelievers try to get this beauty, they don’t know it and cannot feel its taste. They celebrate various holy days which are not for spirituality but for trade. They do it more for entertainment, rather than remembering Allah ﷻ. They do it to make themselves happy. 

However, they cannot reach happiness. Why? Because when there is no spiritual happiness, there is no benefit in the things they do. As they do this for their bodies, it has no use at all.

Spirituality is worship and obedience to Allah ﷻ. What they do is give happiness to their bodies; it doesn’t work. And they also drink. It is again not for spirituality but for their bodies. It doesn’t help either. 

They do all kinds of things without benefit. If they believed in Allah ﷻ, they would get this taste. They would reach peace. Otherwise, they cannot reach happiness neither here nor hereafter. 

We are living with more blessings and more mercy every moment of this holy month. 

So this doesn’t resemble other months. Its beauty is special. 

May Allah ﷻ not deprive us from its beauties. May Allah ﷻ give guidance to those who are deprived insha’Allah. 

May there be strength to our Iman. Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
