Value the Moments of Ramadan (Malfoozat of Shaykh al-Islam Hazrat Maulana Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani)
It was advised that every moment of Ramadan brings with it waves of Allah’s mercy, as His mercy showers upon people continuously. During this time, excuses are sought for forgiveness, and souls are freed from the torment of Hellfire.
Allah’s mercy finds ways to descend upon His servants. The way to show gratitude (Shukr) for this is to recognize the value of each moment of this sacred month, spending these moments in obedience to Allah and avoiding sin.
At the very least, make a firm intention in this month to abstain from all sins. Protect your eyes from looking at anything forbidden, shield your ears from listening to sinful things, such as gossip, lies, and falsehoods. Similarly, guard your tongue from speaking lies, engaging in backbiting, or causing hurt to anyone’s heart.
