Assalamualikum warahmatullah wabaraktuh: I received an interesting handout today at the Friday prayers and wanted to share it with the net. It's written by our Imam, Yahya Hendi, I think. The question which comes at the end of Ramadhan is 'Did Ramadhan affect our iman and improve our piety?' If the answer to the question is yes, then we have indeed achieved the true goal of fasting. This piety, which means to fear Allah in everything we do and say, should be practised throughout the year and not just in Ramadhan. Taqwa in Ramadhan teaches the Muslims not to forget what Prophet Muhammad saw said: "None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself." Ramadhan teaches the Muslims to lead himself and not let his desires lead him. At the end of this month, we still have time to renew our covenant with Allah swt. Prophet Muhammad saw said: "If my ummah knew the benefits they derived from the month of Ramadhan, they would wish that the whole year would be Ramadhan." May Allah accept our prayers and ibadah. Wassalam. Shahed Ameer shahed@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu University of Texas at Austin.
