46. It’s A Whole LIFESTYLE

By Asma bint Shameem

Ibn Rajab said:

“The *ENTIRE DUNYA* is a month of *“fasting”* for the muttaqeen, and their *“Eid al-fitr”* is the *day of MEETING their LORD*.

And most of the *days of “fasting”* have already *passed*, and the *“Eid” of meeting* (meaning DEATH) is swiftly approaching.”
[Lataa’if al-Ma’aarif pg 85]

Brothers and sisters,
Let us REFLECT on these WORDS OF WISDOM.

Ramadhaan is not just ONE month of fasting for us.

It's a WHOLE *LIFESTYLE*.

You lived that lifestyle for an *ENTIRE month*.

And now you MUST live it BEYOND that.

Have the courage and determination to do the *right thing*.
Keep up the recitation of the Qur’aan.

Keep up with the night prayers...

The sadaqah...

The duaas...

All the good deeds.

Have the courage to *CHALLENGE* yourself.... the courage to *CHANGE* your bad habits...

To *admit* your mistakes...

As they say...
“The brave person is not the one who doesn't fear.
The brave person is the one who FACES his fear...and CONQUERS it.”

So *CHALLENGE* yourself to LIVE the lifestyle of Ramadhaan.

You did it for a WHOLE MONTH.

You *must* do it for the REST of your LIFE.
