As we say goodbye to Ramadan, the blessed month of mercy and forgiveness, we ask Allah, the Almighty (swt) to grant us His undiminished forgiveness and to help us maintain a strong faith in Him and not to let us get astray from the right path. We ask Allah, the Almighty (swt) to accept our fasting and prayers during the blessed month of Ramadan, and to grant us Paradise as the ultimate reward…Ameen.
We ask Allah, the Almighty (swt) to have mercy on all Muslim brothers and sisters who passed away during the month of Ramadan. We ask Allah, the Almighty (swt) to let us enter Paradise through the "Al-Rayyan" Gate where, afterwards, we will never feel the thirst ever….""Ameen Ya- Rabba Al-Aalameen""
The month of Ramadan can be illustrated as a marketplace, Muslims offer their fasting and prayer to the Almighty (swt), and in return, Allah (swt) would offer forgiveness and Paradise. Lucky are the ones who fasted (traded) in the month of Ramadan, and misfortunate are the ones who missed out on it.
The prophet (pbuh) said: " The Fasten person has two delights (happiness); happiness when he breaks the fast, and happiness on Judgment Day." (when he stands before Allah)
Also the prophet (pbuh) said: " Allah (swt) says that every labor (worship & deeds) earned by the son of Adam is his (son of Adam); Good deed is then multiply by 10 to 700 hundred times, but Fasting, it's for Me and I reward for it."
Sometimes we ask, what would such a reward be that the Almighty (swt) is reserving for us? Would it be a complete forgiveness and free pass to Paradise! Or would it be a beautiful Palace or Mansion in Paradise! Or would it be a huge ranch with running rivers in Paradise! There are so many things to predict and dream of, but Only Allah (swt) knows!!!!!
