Continuing T! Spirit "# $ama%an Trougout T! &!ar 1 Dear Muslimin and Muslimat. On this blessed and joyous morning, let us enhance our takwa to Allah s.w.t. Obey all of His commands and abstain from His prohibitions. Know one is a successful belieer when one is able to lie one!s life based on the commands of Allah and His Messenger. "t is only by obeying Allah and His #asul that we will be able to attain true success. Allah says in surah Al$ %athiyah, erse &'( )hich means( Then, as to those who believed and did righteous deeds, their Lord will admit them to His Mercy that will be the achievement for all to see. *hus, as a belieer, one should be able to feel the improement to one!s personality and soul as a result of a month of fasting. And on this +id day, eery Mukmin e,periences an incomparable pleasure, which words alone cannot describe. 'llau '()ar* 'llau '()ar* 'llau '()ar* 'llau '()ar +a ,illail -am% 2 Ma-asyiral Muslimin wa .umratal Mukminin rahimakumullah, *he arrial of /yawal is a reminder that #amadan has left us 0 along with all its blessings and special benefits such as fasting, the ni!mah of performing terawih prayers and the anticipation of the night of 1ailatul 2adar. *here is no guarantee that we will be able to e,perience all these in the coming years. Despite that, we should not mourn the passing of #amadan. "nstead, we should strie to continue to enlien the spirit of #amadan by making the acts of worship that we performed in #amadan, a habit in our daily lies. 3or e,ample, since we hae fasted throughout the entire month of #amadan, we should strie to perform sunnah fasting throughout the year4 "f we hae paid our .akat in #amadan, then let us strie to do charity wheneer we are able to do so. "f we filled the nights of #amadan with terawih prayers, then we should continue to fill our nights outside of #amadan with tahajjud prayers. *his is what it means by making the acts of worship in #amadan as a habit in our lies. /aidatina Aisyah r.a. in describing the deeds of the 5rophet s.a.w. said )hich means( Verily the deeds of the prophet s.a.w. were continuous consistent!. 6Hadith reported by "mam Al$7ukhari8 3 7eloed jemaah, let us emulate #asulullah s.a.w. by performing a deed continuously and consistently, and making it a habit that is an integral part of our daily lies. Dear jemaah, "n line with this, we should ensure that the alues we hae learned during #amadan continue to be applied in our daily lies as well. *hroughout the month of #amadan, we hae been constantly reminded of the importance of )uil%ing a #amily that holds on to Islami. /alu!s an% tra%itions* a family that is truly loes Allah and His Messenger9 a family that practices "slam based on the 2uran and the /unnah of our beloed 5rophet Muhammad s.a.w9 a family who upholds "slamic alues such as speaking the truth, trustworthiness, patience and so on. And such a family will thus reflect these alues in their daily life. *his was the #amadan message that we hae understood and appreciated together. And we must continue on with these efforts in order to build a successful family.
'llau '()ar* 'llau '()ar* 'llau '()ar* 'llau '()ar +a ,illail -am% %emaah, 4 *hroughout #amadan we hae tried to build the resilience of our iman and increase our takwa through fasting. A resilient iman should make us more responsible and more conscious of what is happening around us, especially the struggles faced by our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world. Howeer, we should not beliee eery information and reports that we read as there are many untrue claims that are being widely circulated. *his morning, as the beautiful call of the takbir echoes through the masjid, our homes adorned with new curtains and arious delicious dishes await us when we come back from our prayers, we should be mindful and concerned about the grim situation and hardship faced by our fellow Muslims in the Middle +ast and many other parts of the world due to wars and internal conflicts. )e are sad for them, we sympathise with their conditions, and we constantly make doa that Allah s.w.t. will pae the way for them to be free from their sufferings. )e also make doa that Allah will help them in finding a solution to end the conflict that has gone on for many years. Amin :a #abbal Alamin. At the same time, as a Mukmin, we must be critical towards the news that we read, listen to and watch. )ith sound knowledge and a resilient faith that we hae deeloped in #amadan, we 5 should be able to siee through and differentiate between reports that are reliable and those that are not. )e are also able to differentiate between actions that are based on 2uran and sunnah and those that are not. "t definitely worries us when we read the news and watch ideos of iolence and injustices committed. Many aspects of what we see in these ideos, and what we read about in the reports, are against "slamic teachings, because they are propagated by misinterpretations of the teachings9 or the actions are in support of a certain agenda. *hus, the command to be just and not to oppress anyone, een when one is caught in a conflict, is often ignored. #asulullah s.a.w. said in a hadith reported by Abu Dawud which means( "o not #ill any old person, any child or any woman$ and be #ind, verily %llah s.w.t. li#es those who are #ind. "n fact some of the brutalities that we witnessed are being carried out by those who make the call for jihad9 using "slam to justify their actions and call for the establishment of an "slamic caliphate. *hese claims hae been determined to be against "slamic teachings by our renowned scholars, as they use it to commit iolence and atrocities among one another, and unjustly the lies of innocent people are unjustly implicated. 'llau '()ar* 'llau '()ar* 'llau '()ar* 6 'llau '()ar +a ,illail -am% My brothers and sisters rahimakumullah. )e should always remember that "slam is a religion of peace and rejects, as well as condemns, any iolent acts and killings. Allah says in surah Al$;isaa! erse <&( )hich means( &f a man #ills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to abide therein 'or ever!( %nd the wrath and the curse of %llah are upon him, and a dreadful penalty is prepared for him. Due to the seere implications that will be faced by all parties inoled in a conflict, "slam has ruled that no indiidual or organisation is =ualified to make the call for jihad simply in the name of "slam and Muslim. *his is also against the /yara! >"slamic teachings? because it can only be made by the leaders that are acknowledged by /yara!, and they must also ensure that they are doing so based on reasons that are not against the /yara!. *hus, we must be e,tremely careful and discerning 7 when we read fatwas and indiidual opinions that call upon Muslims to kill and commit acts of iolence to others. 7lessed jemaah, "n order to ensure that our family members and ourseles will continue to remain on the right path, it is important for us to be e=uipped with sound religious knowledge. )e will not be gullible and easily swayed by all sorts of claims that are being widely circulated. )e will not fall for the manipulated interpretations of the religious te,ts that these people are making to justify their own desires and personal gains. #emember that Allah s.w.t. has granted wisdom to the belieers. #asulullah s.a.w. described the wisdom and consciousness of a Mukmin in a hadith that means( % believer does not fall into the same hole twice. 6Hadith reported by "mam Al$7ukhari8 'llau '()ar* 'llau '()ar* 'llau '()ar* 'llau '()ar +a ,illail -am% Ma-asyiral Muslimin rahimakumullah, *hese challenges, and many others, are part and parcel of the life of a belieer. "n fact, #amadan proides us with the golden opportunity to replenish and recharge ourseles spiritually, as we prepare ourseles to face life challenges for the rest of the 8 year. *here will definitely be hurdles and struggles throughout our journey in achieing our desired goals of Allah!s mercy and His eternal paradise, and we must therefore prepare ourseles well to face these challenges. And dear jemaah, how can we prepare ourseles well for this trying and challenging journey4 *he answer is to build on our takwa. Allah s.w.t. says in surah Al$7a=arah erse @<A( )hich means( %nd ta#e a provision )ith you! for the *ourney, but the best of provisions is ta#wa. +o fear Me, o ye that are wise. As such, dear jemaah, #amadan is a ery special month because it proides us with many opportunities for us to heighten our takwa. And +idulfitri is also ery special because it is the day we celebrate the takwa that has bloomed in our hearts after going through the holy month of #amadan *hus, one that has successfully strengthened one!s iman and increased one!s takwa throughout #amadan should be changing into a better person who is more gracious, respectful 9 and compassionate. One will also be more forgiing, instead of simply waiting for others to apologise first. One will prefer to maintain good relations with family and friends, and make the effort to resole any issues, instead of waiting for the other party to make the first moe. *he 5rophet s.a.w. said( )hich means( % person who upholds the ties of #inship is not a person who hopes for a reward, but a person who uphold ties of #inship is the one when others cuts ties with him, he will uphold the ties of #inship. 6Hadith reported by "mam Al$7ukhari8 %emaah, the lesson we can derie from this hadith is( #esponding kindly to those who hae done good to us is normal. 7ut what the 5rophet s.a.w. asks of us is to respond to harshness eil acts with kindness, hostility with peace, and rudeness with politeness. *hus, let us take the opportunity of +id to forgie the mistakes of others. 3orget about the conflicts and fights that we had in the past. Don!t we all truly hope for Allah!s forgieness for our own sins and mistakes4 "f so, we should be the first one to seek forgieness from others. Allah says in surah Al$;ur erse BB( 10 )hich means( ...let them forgive and overloo#, do you not wish that %llah should forgive you, 'or %llah is -ft.'orgiving, Most Merciful./. May Allah s.w.t. grant us the purity of heart and takwa to build good relations with our family, insyaAllah. May our success and ictory today last us until we are gien the opportunity to greet #amadan again ne,t year.
