Ramadan is a Door to Beauty

As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum wa RaḥmatuLlāhi wa Barakātuh. A‘ūdhu BiLlāhi Minash-shayṭāni r-rajīm. BismiLlāhi r-Raḥmāni r-Raḥīm. Wa ṣ-Salātu wa s-Salāmu ‘alá Rasūlinā Muḥammadin Sayyidi l-Awwalīna wa l-Akhirīn.

May this beautiful month be Mubarak upon all insha’Allah. Today is the 1st of Ramadan. We count one, and a month will be over. It will be over instantly. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is giving it to us as a gift. Days are passing quickly. Life is passing quickly.

By the wisdom of Allah ﷻ, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created everything beautifully. He ﷻ created everything in order. If it was according to the understanding of mankind, Muslims and Kafirs, believers and non-believers; Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created everyone similar. Their understanding of life is similar. They think they will not die at all. They don’t think about death. But life is passing. This world is not standing still, it is passing. And it is a test. It is the mercy of Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla to people. Because if it was otherwise, they would not be able to enjoy anything, they would not be able to do anything.

Therefore, Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created everything as the most beautiful with His ﷻ wisdom. He ﷻ is Ahsanu al-Khaliqeen. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla created these beauties and wishes them to us. Allah ‘Azza wa-Jalla is calling us to a beautiful place. And holy Ramadan is a door to those beauties. He ﷻ is giving those beauties in this world as well. He ﷻ is giving that happiness. And He ﷻ gives even more in Akhirah.

Therefore, this blessed month is full of Barakah. It is beautiful. People of old times used to say “Al-Wada’ Al-Wada’”, “Farewell, Farewell” in Tarawih Prayer after the 15th20th [of Ramadan]. As if a valuable guest was leaving, it was bringing sadness to the hearts of people. Just like people get sad when a good guest leaves, it was the same with this month. May Allah ﷻ bless it.

May He ﷻ bring peace to the Islamic world. May He ﷻ send the Sahib insha’Allah. Because people have gone completely wild. They have forgotten about Allah ‘Azza waJalla. Kafirs are like this. And Muslims are heedless. There is a lot of Fitnah. There are various disasters. May Allah ﷻ protect all of us for the honor of this month and for the honor of our Holy Prophet ﷺ. May He ﷻ lead us to safety. And most importantly, may our Iman be safe insha’Allah. May this holy month be the means for our Iman to be strong, our fasting and worship insha’Allah. May Allah ﷻ make it Mubarak upon you insha’Allah. May it be even better next year. May we be with Islam, and may the whole world become Muslim insha’Allah.

Wa min Allah at-Tawfiq. Al-Fatiha.
