And hasten to forgiveness ..

[al-fajr]

Assalamu'alaykum,

وَسَارِعُوا إِلَىٰ مَغْفِرَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَجَنَّةٍ عَرْضُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ أُعِدَّتْ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

"And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous" {'Al'Imraan 133}


“Indeed Allaah - the Most High - has made the month of Ramadaan as a competition for His creatures, in which they may race with one another to His pleasure, by obeying Him. Thus, one group comes first and so they prosper and another group comes last and so they fail.”

[‘Lata’if ul-Ma’arif’ of Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali]​

I think it strikes a chord with competitive people in particular.

Wa-salaam

Salaamalaykum waa rahmatullahi sister,

Nice thread MashaAllah..

Sometimes we run out of steam due to exhaustion in Ramadan. Then we re-read the numerous unique blessings of Ramadan, we are re-invigorated to work really hard to our best ability.
