Something Very Profound. Don't Become A Prisoner Of Your Speech.

Something very profound. Don't become a prisoner of your speech.

“As long as you remain silent, you will be safe. Then when you speak, it will either be written in your favour or against you.”

Allah u Akbar!

Let's make use of Ramadan wisely. Our deeds multiply and exceed in rewards beyond our imagination. Ya Rehman! Please allow us to make the most of Ramadan. Ameen Sum Ameen.

Ibn al Jawzī رحمه الله:

“By Allāh, if it was said to the dead in their graves,

‘Wish for something.’

They would wish to witness one [more] day of Ramadan.”

[Tabsirah, 2/75]

وَوَصَّيْنَا الْاِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ ۚ حَمَلَتْهُ اُمُّهٗ وَهْنًا عَلٰي وَهْنٍ وَّفِصٰلُهٗ فِيْ عَامَيْنِ اَنِ اشْكُرْ لِيْ وَلِوَالِدَيْكَ ؕ اِلَيَّ الْمَصِيْرُ

"And We have commanded people to ˹honour˺ their parents. Their mothers bore them through hardship upon hardship, and their weaning takes two years. So be grateful to Me and your parents. To Me is the final return."

— Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى || [Surah Luqman:14]

The greatest consequence of sin is not the punishment that comes from it, but the distance that comes between you and Allāh ﷻ

—Imam al Ghazāli

Salman al-Farisi (May Allāh ﷻ be pleased with him) reported:

“Verily, on the day Allāh ﷻ created the heavens and the earth, He ﷻcreated one hundred parts of mercy. Each part can fill what is between the heavens and the earth. He ﷻ made one part of mercy for the earth, from which a mother has compassion for her child, animals and birds have compassion for each other. On the Day of Resurrection, He ﷻ will perfect this mercy.”

—Prophet Muhammad ﷺ | Sahih Muslim 2753

Duā for forgiveness

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي ظُلْماً كَثِيراً، وَلَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَغْفِرَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَارْحَمْنِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

"O Allah, I have greatly wronged myself and no one forgives sins but You. So, grant me forgiveness and have mercy on me. Surely, you are Forgiving, Merciful."

I pray to Allāh ﷻ that we become amongst the people whom He سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى saves eternally from the Hell this Ramadan. Ameen Sum Ameen.

Pray to Allāh ﷻ for forgiveness, sincerely repent and strive to please Him سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى only. You'll see your life changing. Ask Allāh ﷻ to wipe away all of your sins, and even better, to replace it with good deeds.

—May Allah ﷻ accept our repentance, prayers and fasting. Ameen Sum Ameen.
