Welcoming Ramadan
It is stated in Fatāwā ꜤĀlamgīrī:
The virtues of IꜤtikāf are manifest, for in it, a person completely devotes himself to the worship of Allah to attain His pleasure, and withdraws from all worldly distractions that hinder the path of gaining nearness to Allah. All the time spent by a muꜤtakif is, in reality or by legal consideration, spent in a state of prayer (since waiting for prayer carries the reward of prayer). The primary objective of IꜤtikāf is to wait for congregational prayer, and the muꜤtakif resembles the angels who do not disobey Allah in what He commands them and who carry out whatever they are ordered to do. He also resembles those who glorify Allah day and night without weariness.[1]
Sayyidunā ꜤAṭāˈ al-Khurāsānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه said:
The example of a MuꜤtakif is like a person who has fallen at the door of Allah, saying: “O Merciful Lord! I will not move from here until You forgive me.”[2]
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic brothers! Protect the sacred moments of Ramadan from being wasted in useless activities. Life is extremely short, so view these moments as a precious opportunity. Instead of wasting time on the internet and mobile phones—which often leads to various sins—spend your time in the recitation of the holy Quran, the remembrance of Allah (dhikr), and sending ṣalāt upon the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
In keeping with the spirit of this blessed month, studying the renowned work Blessings of Ramadan by Amir Ahl al-Sunnah دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ is
