Seasons of Goodness After Ramadan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and I send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment.

To proceed: This is the one hundred and seventeenth session of the Open Door, which takes place every Thursday of every week, and this is the first session after the month of Ramadan in the year 1416 AH.
It is well known that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has established seasons of goodness in which those who compete race toward acts of obedience, in order to invigorate their resolve, increase righteous deeds, and perfect them, for the more these seasons recur, the stronger the determination becomes.But I wonder: If these seasons pass, do the times in which deeds are established also pass, or do deeds remain as long as the person remains in this world?
The second point is that righteous deeds are required of the servant as long as he is in this worldly life.Allah, Blessed and Exalted, said:
And Abraham instructed his sons [to do the same] and [so did] Jacob, [saying], "O my sons, indeed Allah has chosen for you this religion, so do not die except while you are Muslims."وَوَصَّى بِهَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بَنِيهِ وَيَعْقُوبُ يَا بَنِيَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَى لَكُمُ الدِّينَ فَلا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَ
[al-Baqarah: 132] meaning: Continue in your Islam until death.And Allah the Exalted said:
And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certaintyوَاعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكَ الْيَقِينُ
[al-Hijr: 99] meaning: death, as al-Hasan al-Basri and other scholars interpreted it. Thus, Allah has not set a limit for the cessation of deeds except death, so the person is commanded to perform the obedience of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) as long as he is in this life.
