What is prescribed before the entry of Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
There is approximately three minutes left in the program. Perhaps His Eminence the Shaykh has a closing word for this meeting?
Answer: The closing word for this meeting is the repeated advice to ask Allah that He grant every Muslim to reach this noble month. One should ask his Lord to let him reach it and to help him with its fasting and standing in prayer, out of faith and seeking reward. How many people are there for whom Allah does not grant reaching it, even if only a little time remains? So my advice to every believer, male and female, is to supplicate to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) with sincerity and devotion that He let them reach this noble month and help them with its fasting and standing in prayer, out of faith and seeking reward. Also, pay attention to repentance; renew your repentance before the entry of this noble month so that Ramadan comes upon you and you are safe from your sins, having been erased from you by sincere repentance. Then, make a sincere resolve to be upright in Ramadan and to stay away from everything that Allah has forbidden.
Thus, the believer should make a sincere resolve to strive in Ramadan, to protect his limbs from the prohibitions of Allah, and to increase in good deeds during the night and the day. Then, make another sincere resolve not to return to sins after Ramadan, but rather be determined to continue in good deeds in Ramadan and in times other than it. For he does not know when the term of death will overtake him. So let him be determined in good deeds and righteous work, perhaps he will be granted success and remain upright until the term of death descends upon him. May Allah grant all of you success and guidance, and may He grant all Muslims everywhere the fasting of this great month and the standing in prayer in it, and may He grant them therein faith, seeking reward, truthfulness, sincerity, and hastening to every good. And may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
