if you want to reform and better your self, then take good care of the Qur’an. set a daily recitation that you do not miss, even if it is a little. repeat often and increase the repetition and do not slack in doing so. ponder upon the quran and listen to the tafsir of it. live with the Qur’an in all its details. stop when you are reading and really take it in as if you’re being addressed so that your heart softens and you humble yourself in front of Allah. and know that your secret and public actions and your life will only better when you increase in haya in front of Allah and all your dealings with your creator.

The rectification of the believers religion in winter:
Ibn Rajab said: “The believers religion is reformed in winter by whatever acts of obedience Allah facilitates in it. In winter, the believer is able to:
1) Fast without any hardship or expense that he suffers from, such as hunger or thirst; because his day is short and cold, so he does not feel the hardship of fasting.
2) Perform the night prayer. The worshipper reads his entire portion of the Qur’an, and his soul has had its share of sleep, thus completing the interest of his religion and the comfort of his body.”
So take advantage of the short, cold days of winter.

لِكُلِّ عملٍ شِرَّةٌ، ولِكُلِّ شرَّةٍ فَترةٌ، فمن كانَت فَترتُهُ إلى سنَّتي، فَقد أفلحَ، ومَن كانت إلى غيرِ ذلِكَ فقد هلَكَ — النبي ﷺ
the prophet ﷺ said: every action act of worship has a shirrah ( a time of enthusiasm, and high energy and zeal), and every shirrah has a fitrah (a time where it lulls and the energy isn’t where you want it to be). so whoever’s fitrah is upon my sunnah and my path, then they have succeeded, and whoevers fitrah is not on that or upon something is, then they are in ruin.
it is those who could not pray or could not fast or could not do anything an act of worship for a period of time, that at times understand more the sweetness of returning to worshipping Allah with sound health and iman.
it is a joyful time when you can finally stand up in prayer, a joyful time when you break your fast for the first time, a joyful time because you have been nursed back to health, and back to Iman by Allah.
it is also a time of reflection, because we realise with honest eyes how much our shortcomings stifled us. how wetr we when we were away from those certain actions? when we were sick? when we were pardoned from worshipping for any reason? how did we long for them? did we increase in gratitude or did we stay idle?
we know from the sunnah of the prophet ﷺ that our iman fluctuates, and that there will be moments where it lulls — but why is it that when our iman is high and we are being tested by our blessings and good health, that we do not gear up for the moments, where it will naturally fluctuate?
this is why guidelines from the sunnah and Quran exist for us so we protect ourselves and our hearts in those times we are vulnerable. we do this by:
• increasing in voluntary acts. so that we have a baseline in things we cannot ever leave, even when our iman is low. this can be reciting (x) portions of the Quran in a day, or the witr prayer, etc.
• sticking to a good deed and being consistent with it. the prophet ﷺ said: the most beloved actions to Allah are those which are consistent, even if they are little.
• be realistic: know that there will be lulls, you will find it harder to worship Allah, you will be tempted by the desires of yourself and the temptations of this world, but pick yourself back up, every time and lean on Allah. It won’t always be perfect, Allah has created us imperfect, but just keep going and surround yourself with good people and a good environment that will help you and remind you of the good.

on the believer realising the weight and gravity of his sins
may Allah make us from those who recognise the danger of sins and always rush back to repentance 🤍
harith bin suwaid رضي الله عنه said: abdullah bin mas’ud رضي الله عنه said: « the believer sees his sins as if he was at the base of a mountain, fearing that it was about to fall upon him. the wicked person sees his sins as if (they are) flies that hitting his nose" he said: « like this » - motioning with his hand - «to get them to fly away.»

وَلَا تَنسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ
وَأَحْسِن كَمَآ أَحْسَنَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ ۖ
أي: لا تضيع حظك من دنياك، وتمتع بها
مع عملك للآخرة، وقيل: معناه لا تضيع عمرك بترك الأعمال الصالحات؛ فإن حظ الإنسان من الدنيا إنما هو بما يعمل فيها من الخير؛ فالكلام على هذا وعظ، وعلى الأول إباحة للتمتع بالدنيا لئلا ينفر عن قبول الموعظة. (وأحسن كما أحسن الله إليك) أي: أحسن إلى عباد الله كما أحسن الله إليك بالغنى.
ابن جزي: ٢ / ١٥١.

Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen (rahimahullah) said:
Strive to distance yourself from anything that brings worry, sorrow, or distress so that you may always remain at ease, with a content and open heart, focused on Allah, His worship, and your worldly and spiritual affairs. If you practice this, you will find relief. However, if you burden yourself with regret over the past or excessive concern for the future in a way not sanctioned by Islamic teachings, know that you will exhaust yourself and miss out on much goodness.

« Indeed, the number of months ordained by Allah is twelve—in Allah’s Record since the day He created the heavens and the earth—of which four are sacred. That is the right religion (way). So do not wrong yourselves during them »
while the rest of the world celebrates the beginning of their new year through acts of disobedience and innovation, we as muslims begin to prepare for the month of rajab which we have now entered. this is a sacred month in which Allah has mentioned in the qurān the importance of. rajab is also a golden opportunity of preparation for Ramadan (اللهم بلغنا) in which we plant the seeds of good deeds we want to carry over to ramadan and beyond it. fasting, praying, dhikr, seeking knowledge, giving charity; much more.
do not be distracted by the shiny wordly temptations of a ‘new year’. we don’t copy the disbelievers in their innovations and traditions because the muslim is constantly seeking improvement of themselves, every night and day through following the sunnah of our beloved prophet ﷺ and the perfect religion Allah has blessed us with.

If you have been not sure where to start in your preparation for Ramadan, then after rectifying our intention, we should be focusing on the quran already even more.
also, if you cannot understand Arabic and have been looking for an app that has points of reflection from the quran, then I highly recommend this app. Alongside the usual features such as reciters, translation etc., it also uses the mukhtasar (simplified) translation which is amazing, and also key lessons from every page!! May Allah bless those who brought this to my attention and also those who created the app!! 🤎

on fasting sha’ban
it was asked from aishah رضي الله عنها about the fasting of the prophet ﷺ and she said: he would fast until we said he will never break his fast, and he would not fast until we said he would never fast. I did not see the prophet ﷺ complete an entire month of fasting except for ramadan, and I did not see him complete more voluntary fasts than in the month of sha’ban

to prepare for ramadan, I have compiled a set of books (in english and Arabic) that I have (mostly) read in the past few years that I believe would be beneficial for all. I have kept the lists short as I believe that’s the best way to not feel overwhelmed and get the most out of this month of shaban before ramadan.
in english:
— important lessons for ramadan by sh abdul razzaq al abbad
— disciplining the soul by ibn al jawzi
— inner dimensions of the prayer, by ibn al qayyim
— virtues of siyam and qiyam during the month of ramadan, by sh ibn al baz
بالعربي
— هذه رسالات القرآن فمن يتلقّاها, فريد الأنصاري
— هكذا عاشوا مع القرآن، أسماء الرويشد
- كيف نحب الله ونشتاقه، مجدي الهلائي
- الخير في شهر خيرات الرمضان، الشيخ

I hope you all benefit from it and may Allah allow us all to reach ramadan in good health 💌
