Welcome the Month of Ramadan With Piety and True Repentance

[1]

by
Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdillah bin Baz



Month so we missed her arrival soon to come. Yes, the month of Ramadan, a month full of blessings, the month that has many virtues. As a Muslim, we would have started preparing themselves to welcome the distinguished visitor. We should have started to prepare ourselves in order to maximize this special moment to improve themselves and prepare himself afterlife. We certainly do not want these precious moments slip by. How to lose and how to lose, if it happens. Because we can not necessarily see the next Ramadan alive. How many people who live around us in the month of Ramadan last year, but now they no longer exist, there is no more chance to improve themselves and they reproduce provisions hereafter. Instead of waiting for one year, Ramadan is only a few days this was not necessarily our reach. Yes, God, only we beg Thee, panjangkanlah our age so they can worship thee in Ramadan.

With regard to the month of Ramadan, we present the advice presented to the reader Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Baz bin Abdillah bin Abdirrahman vol. He conveyed this advice when he asked for it rahimahullah the arrival of the month of Ramadan. Finally, we hope that this advice could be useful for us in particular and the Muslims in general. Here is the advice he vol.
_______________________________________________________________________

My advice to all Muslims, let them always devoted to Allah Almighty. Let them welcome the arrival of the month (of Ramadan) is great with truly repent of all sin. Let them greet him by trying to understand their religion and learn the laws relating to fasting and qiyamul Lail (night prayer) them. Based on the words of the Prophet Shallallahu'alaihi wa sallam:

من يرد الله به خيرا يفقهه في الدين

Whoever desired both by Allah Almighty, He Almighty gives him understanding of the Deen [2]

Also the words of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam:

إذا دخل رمضان فتحت أبواب الجنة وغلقت أبواب جهنم وسلسلت الشياطين

When the month of Ramadan has arrived, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed and the devils chained [3]

Also, based on the words of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam:

إذا كان أول ليلة من شهر رمضان صفدت الشياطين ومردة الجن وغلقت أبواب النار فلم يفتح منها باب وفتحت أبواب الجنة فلم يغلق منها باب وينادي مناد يا باغي الخير أقبل ويا باغي الشر أقصر ولله عتقاء من النار وذلك كل ليلة

If the first night of the month of Ramadan has arrived, then the demons and mischievous genie chained, the gates of Hell are closed none are open, the gates of Paradise are opened, none of which is covered. Then there are angels who cry, "O seeker of goodness, menghadaplah (to Allah Almighty with emphasis on obedience)! O perpetrators of evil, desist! Verily Almighty Allah has many slaves were freed from the torment of the Fire. Was happening every night (month of Ramadan) [4]

The Messenger Shallallahu'alaihi wa sallam said:

من صام رمضان إيمانا واحتسابا غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه ومن قام رمضان إيمانا واحتسابا غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه ومن قام ليلة القدر إيمانا واحتسابا غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه

Whoever did fasting because of faith and expecting reward from Allah Almighty, who has passed the unpardonable sin. Whoever performs evening prayers because of faith and expecting reward from Allah Almighty, then his sins are forgiven past. Whoever performs prayers on the night of al-Qadr because of a sense of faith and expecting reward from Allah Almighty, then his sins are forgiven past. [5]

Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam also said:

قال الله كل عمل ابن آدم له إلا الصيام فإنه لي وأنا أجزي به والصيام جنة وإذا كان يوم صوم أحدكم فلا يرفث ولا يصخب فإن سابه أحد أو قاتله فليقل إني امرؤ صائم والذي نفس محمد بيده لخلوف فم الصائم أطيب عند الله من ريح المسك للصائم فرحتان يفرحهما إذا أفطر فرح وإذا لقي ربه فرح بصومه

Allah Almighty says, "All the good deeds of Bani Adam is his, except for fasting. Due to the fast mine and I were giving a reply. Fasting is a shield. If any of you were running fast, then let him say nasty and screaming. If he was heckled by someone or fight, then let him say, "I'm running fast." by the soul of Muhammad, who is in his hands, really bad breath people who are running fast is more fragrant than musk oil on the side of Allah Almighty. Persons who are fasting have two happiness (that) if he is to break, he's happy and when met with his Lord, he is happy with his fast worship. [6]

Also the words of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam:

من لم يدع قول الزور والعمل به فليس لله حاجة في أن يدع طعامه وشرابه

People who do not leave the words of falsehood and lies deeds, then Allah Almighty did not need him against fasting. [7]

So my testament to all Muslims, let them always devoted Church in Almighty Allah and striving to maintain their fasting from all immoral acts. Let them be serious in doing good as well as perform a variety of racing goodness like bershadaqah, multiply the intensity readings of the Koran, prayer beads, tahlil, tahmid, Takbir and istigfâr. Since the month (Ramadan) is the month of the Qur'an:

شهر رمضان الذي أنزل فيه القرآن هدى للناس وبينات من الهدى والفرقان

(some days it is specified) the month of Ramadan, the month in which the derived (beginning) of the Qur'an as a guidance for mankind and the explanations of the clues and the difference (between the right and the falsehood). [al-Baqarah / 2:185]

Therefore, disyari'atkan for Muslims, men and women earnestly reading the Qur'an, at a time when the day and night. Each of the letters is worth the kindness and the goodness rewarded with ten-fold, as reported by the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. (The spirit of doing good is) must be accompanied by the spirit to stay away from all forms of vices and sins which, (also to be accompanied by a passion to) encourage one another to the truth, commanding the good and forbidding unjust.

The month of Ramadan is the month multiplied (value) good deeds in it, so is ugliness reply. Therefore, a Muslim is obliged to earnestly fulfill the obligation that Allah Almighty and charge him away from all that Allah Almighty forbade. And let his attention (to the obligations and prohibitions that-pent) in the month of Ramadan further enhanced. As well disyari'atkan for a Muslim to earnestly implement various good deeds like bershadaqah, visiting the sick, deliver the bodies (to the grave), connect the rope silaturrahmi, read the Koran, read the prayer beads, tahlil, tahmid, istigfâr , prayer and a variety of other goodness. He (did that, because-pent) hopes to bring reward from Allah Almighty and because of fear of punishment. We ask Almighty Allah, may Allah Almighty give his taufiq to all Muslims toward His good pleasure. We also ask Him so that we can lengthen the life of fasting and qiyamul Lail (night prayers or terawih-pent) with based on faith and his desire for reward. As we also appeal to the Almighty Allah, may Allah Almighty give us and all the Muslims understanding of this religion, keistiqâmahan and avoid all that could incur the wrath and punishment of Allah Almighty. We ask Almighty Allah, may Allah Almighty give his taufiq to the ruler of the Muslmin; May the Almighty Allah continue to give guidance to them, to improve their situation and give them to taufiq to implement Shari'ah-shari'ah of Allah Almighty in all aspects of life, as the embodiment of the word of Allah Almighty:

وأن احكم بينهم بما أنزل الله

You ought to decide cases between them according to what Allah revealed [al-Maidah / 5:49]

His words also:

أفحكم الجاهلية يبغون ومن أحسن من الله حكما لقوم يوقنون

Is Ignorance of law they want, and (legal) who is better than the (law) of Allah for those who believe? [al-Maidah / 5:50]

His words also:

فلا وربك لا يؤمنون حتى يحكموك فيما شجر بينهم ثم لا يجدوا في أنفسهم حرجا مما قضيت ويسلموا تسليما

Then, by your Lord, they are (in fact) do not believe until they make you judge in that case they can not agree, then they do not feel in their hearts something challenge to a decision that you gave, and they receive the fullest. [an-Nisa / 4:65]

His words also:

يا أيها الذين آمنوا أطيعوا الله وأطيعوا الرسول وأولي الأمر منكم فإن تنازعتم في شيء فردوه إلى الله والرسول إن كنتم تؤمنون بالله واليوم الآخر ذلك خير وأحسن تأويلا

O ye who believe, obey Allah and obey the Messenger (her), and ulil amri among you. Then if you differ on something, then return it to Allah he (al-Qur'ân) and His Prophet (Sunnah), if you truly believe in Allah and the Last Day. Such a (advantageous) and better in the end. [An-Nisa / 4:59]

His words also:

قل أطيعوا الله وأطيعوا الرسول

Say: "Obey Allah and obey the apostle [an-Nûr/24: 54]

His words also:

وما آتاكم الرسول فخذوه وما نهاكم عنه فانتهوا واتقوا الله إن الله شديد العقاب

What is given to you Messengers, then accept, and what he forbids you, then leave. And fear Allah. Verily Allah is severe in law. [Hasyr/59: 7]

Here are some obligations of the Muslims as well as their leaders. The rulers and the scholars (also) shall be devoted to Allah Almighty and Exalted waa, submit to His Shari'ah and apply it in their lives. Due to the Shari'ah of Allah (we will achieve) kindness, guidance, the end result is commendable, the pleasure of Almighty Allah, the truth and with the Shari'ah (we can) avoid kezhaliman action.

We ask Almighty Allah, may provide clues, intentions and good deeds.

وصلى الله وسلم على نبينا محمد وعلى أله وأصحابه أجمعين
