BEST RAMADAN

What if it were to be your 'last Ramadan, how would you like to spend it? What would you do differently from previous Ramadans?

Death is the destroyer of all pleasures but do we give thought that we may not even reach Ramadan? Or be blessed with the opportunity to fast? Or spend it with our loved ones? Therefore, if we are fortunate enough to witness another Ramadan, what is the best way to spend it?

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When it is the first night of the month of Ramadān, the devils and the rebellious jinn are tied up; the doors of Hell-fire are closed, and none of its doors are opened. The doors of Paradise are opened, and none of its doors are closed. A caller calls out: ‘O seeker of good, come forward! O seeker of evil, stop!’ And every night, Allah frees slaves from the Hell-fire.” (Tirmidhī 682)

‘Abdullāh b. Mas‘ūd (RA) would say in the last night of Ramadān: “Who among us has been accepted, so that we might congratulate them? And who among us has been deprived of acceptance, so that we might console them? ”O accepted one! Congratulations to you! And O rejected one! May Allah remedy that which has befallen you!
