As Salaamu 'alaykum and peace to all,
Favourite Video: Collection of Ramadan Lectures : Motivational Lectures on Month of Fasting Ramadan Kareem
We are well going into the end of second week of Ramadan, alhamdulillah.
But, I can't help but to think how fast time flies. Honestly, I really do not want Ramadan to end, ever.
Unfortunately, instead of moving as slow as the sloth, time seems to be running like a cheetah!
I remembered Henry Austin Dobson once said,
Time goes, you say? Ah no!
Alas, Time stays, we go.
I have never thought that it is actually me who is slowly and surely ticking away day by day, while time, will remain in existance for eternity... SubhanAllah...
Something to think about, you agree?
So, today, I again, reminded myself of His verse,
"Ramadan is the month during which the Quran was revealed, providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book. Those of you who witness this month shall fast therein. Those who are ill or traveling may substitute the same number of other days. GOD wishes for you convenience, not hardship, that you may fulfill your obligations, and to glorify GOD for guiding you, and to express your appreciation." (2:185)
Indeed, Ramadan is the month that has in it offerings no other months can offer- His guidance, forgiveness, blessings and mercy.
It is also a month of great discipline, a month of changing behaviour and habits, a month of strethening our willpower and a month of a test of our ability to commit to something that is not easy to do.
In short, it is the time for us all to do some inner reflection, increase our devotion to God, and practise self-control- maybe some kind of tuning up, if you like.
Therefore, I have in this post a few good lectures about Ramadan delivered by excellent scholars inshaAllah, so that you and me can learn more about this Holy Month, and may these lectures serve as excellent reminders for us all, ameen and inshaAllah.
