I began to ask my self, what is the use of my computer games. What is the use of fun in this life, when there is already fun made in the afterlife for us. I began to ask my self, what is the purpose of life. I started to listen to anwar -awlaki ’s hereafter, and life after death lectures. I started realizing that death can come anytime. When anwar awlaki started describing what would happen to the mu’minin, whom would be in the grave, seeing 2 windows, heaven and hell, and his “good deeds” would be saying, this is where you would be (pointing at hell) if you hadnt stop all those music, movies, and disbelief. And when i heard of that, I was asking my self, what if I was like that. What if I worshiped god and nothing else, and get jannah, when i die. Then i listen to the part when he was saying, that to the nonbeliever, there will be a smelling horror guy in the grave showing a window of jennah saying that he would be in there if he submitted to god. I ask my self, would i rather go out with my desires of fun in this life receiving torments here, torments in grave, in day of judgment, and in hell!!!? Or should i return to my lord and serve, and die, and live in peace, and receive jannah. 2 days before Ramadan, I started planning my rest of the life, WITHOUT realizing the existence of Ramadan! I was planning to dump all my video games, leave all my bad habits, plan to wear my kufi to school every day, planning to listen to all the lectures i recently downloaded, and then i started reading the quran by translation. Then i came up to a part talking about shaytan. And then i remembered What anwar al-awlaki was saying about the fact how shayton can come and shuv you to the wrong path easily, steps by steps. I was beginning to fear that shayton will ruin my life. Then i read some more quran, and then in surat al-sajda, I came across a verse , saying that If I fear that shayton will come and hurt me and make me do wrong, etc, Then fear allah, and seek refure from your lord. I was so astonished. So i did exactly as I was said to do. I ask allah, to help me, keep me away from shayton. And then i Started begging allah, to alteast give me a day without shayton. And then it suddenly came to me in enlightment, that after tomorrow would be ramadahn. I told my self, all praise be to allah, He has given me a whole month rather then a day without Shaythan! I was so happy! I was so exited for Ramadan. I couldnt wait till the month arrived. During the next 2 days i occupied my self, in an al-magrib class. and then ramadan had finaly arrived. I prayed taraweeh. And then it came to me that all my life I wasted time. It came to me, that I dont have much time to play games, etc. How can we waste so much pressies time when the day of judgment is arriving! It came to me, This ramadan might be my last! Who knows ever know if this ramadan is there last. This ramadan is a month of repentence. And then I realised that all my life was not a waste, I did something that really payed off now. I made dua’. Every single day of my life, I would in english ask allah, to forive me, help, and giude me. I always felt like Allah was never listening to me. But now i realised, that Allah was. All my life allah planned for me. And my dua’s builded up. I began to feel happy. I felt my heart feeling like it had recived something. It was ramadan. Allah has provided me a blessed month. I won’t waste this month i said to my self. Ramadan. The best day of my life just happened yesterday, when i realised what month it was. I hope all of the rest of my brothers and sisters will take the best opportunity. This is a special month. This month is not for some old objectives or some new years to do list, but this month is for change. Im not talking about Obama’s logo, imtalking about your life. Im talking about ramadan! This blessed month only comes once a month. This month is are golden oppurtunity to repent t oallah. It is are oppurtunity to do as many good deeds. HERE ARE MY GOALS during Ramadan: 1. Change 2. Read, memorise, and understand the Quran. 3. Drop, all the video games, all movies, all the things SHAYTHON left behind for me. 4. Make it a habit ( number 2 and 3) 5. Create love for Moahmmed (S) 6. Attend all 20 rak’at Tharaweeh. Goals after ramadhaan: 1. NO DIFFERENCE! except fight Shaytan 2. Replace taraweeh, with a 1-2 hour nonstop full thahajud. (and by god, nobodys gunna stop me saying my sleep is better then submiting to my lord) Mohammed (S) did it for five hour at night with an army to lead the next day! MOST OF ALL: Submit to my lord, and fullfill my duty of his command. I Bear witness, that there is absolutly NO GOD, BUT GOD and that Muhammed (S) is his last and final messanger Assalaamu’alaikum A few days before Ramadan, I began to ask my self, what is the ultimate solution to all my problems?
