Aisya al-Humaira
الحمدلله على كل حال
Race toward forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden whose width is like the width of the heavens and earth, prepared for those who believed in Allah and His messengers. That is the bounty of Allah which He gives to whom He wills, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty.[57:21]
We are all in a race in this dunya. A race towards forgiveness from Allaah subhaanahu wa Ta`ala. A race to increase our good deeds so that on The Day of Judgment, we will receive our book of deeds from our right hand.
In sha Allaah, Ramadhan is just around the corner. It would be very helpful for us to write down our goals and aims that we want to achieve in Ramadhan even if its the same every year, not only to keep ourselves check to be disciplined in our deeds but it will help those who are trying to strive better in their deen.
Don't forget to put after your every goals as that is how we are taught in Surah Al-Kahfi to say for matters that are unknown to us.
Also later when Ramadhan has end, when we look back at this list, we will feel the need to maintain the goodness that we perform in Ramadhan throughout the whole year, in shaa Allaahu Ta`ala.
This thread is certainly not to boast our deeds as it is something that we *look forward* to do (not yet done) so in shaa Allaah that is not an issue.
BarakaAllaahu feekum.
