Devotion For Ramadan
وَ اِنِّیۡ لَغَفَّارٌ لِّمَنۡ تَابَ
Translation from Kanz al-Īmān: And I am indeed Most-Forgiving for him who repented.[1]
The saint then instructed a qāri to recite the following verse:
وَ ہُوَ الَّذِیۡ یَقۡبَلُ التَّوۡبَۃَ عَنۡ عِبَادِہٖ وَ یَعۡفُوۡا عَنِ السَّیِّاٰتِ
Translation from Kanz al-Īmān: And it is He Who accepts the repentance of His bondsmen, and pardons the sins (of His bondsmen).[2]
The young man let out a forceful scream after hearing this verse and exclaimed, “It is my good fortune that the favour of Allah continually reached me. However, despite this, I increased in disobedience, failing to turn back from the path of deviation. Will the past be replaced by another time in which Allah will excuse me for my shortcomings?” He then screamed yet again, and his soul left his body.
After citing this moving account, Shaykh Ḥarīfaysh رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه said:
“My brothers! Why should one not cry due to the departure of Ramaḍān? This month of pardon and forgiveness is leaving us; why should one not be sad? Why should one not feel grief at the passing of this month, as sinners are freed from Hell during it!”[3]
