The way of guidance after Ramadan
الكاتب/ Shiekh Hany Helmy

After we had known who are the winners in Ramadan this year,we have to become closer to Allah either through good deeds like contentment,mercy,piety,truth or any other thing.


You must do the following to be amongst the winners:

First: A stance of Admonishment :

we must make a plan of faith to continue doing the good deeds after Ramadan.you must identify all acts of worship to be done from Shawal to next Ramadan in Shaa Allah. Then you appoint for a disease or two that you suffer from. Our first concern is to get rid of them this year and pray to God to save you from these sins and diseases.


The diseases you should strive to cleanse yourself of them:




1-laziness in obedience:
If you know that you are lazy in obedience and realised that laziness is a sign of hypocrisy as Allah said (And when they stand up for prayer ,they stand with laziness)



{An.Nisa 142}




Activate yourself, and recharge your determination so as not to be on



this great danger.




2-Slackness in worship acts:
He who found himself lazy in good deeds and bold in temptation ,knowing that causes torment of the grave,as immoral deed comes to the tomb owner saying


'I am your evil acts, as you were slow in Allah's obiedance , and quick in his disobedience so Allah rewards you with evil"



{Saheeh (TRAGHEIB AND TRAHEEB) Narrated by Al nisa'e and classified As Sahih by Al Albany}

didn't accept that for himself and decided to be amongst the foremost



3-Miserliness:
Another found himself miser , the messenger of Allah said " Miserliness and faith never collect in slave's heart"
{narroted by alnesaey and corrected by al albany}
A man was afraid of falling into disbelief and decided to work successfully with Allah.



4-Hypocrisy:
This found himself likes to always be under the spot light
Our prophet said" The thing that I fear about you is minor shirk(Hypocrisy)"
Allah says on the day of judgement.When he rewards people for their work,go to people who you are showing off in life and look if you find a reward there. He decides to teach himself sincerity by getting rid of paying attention to people and that they do not have a weight in his heart so he starts to incraeses the hidden acts of worship which no one knows but Allah
and pray to God to give him honesty.



5-Admiration:
This who admires his work and celebrate it.
The prophet said " Three destructive things :miserliness obeyed,inclination followed and admiration of one's own"
(Al-albany,the correct chain{1802})
Admiration frustrates work.








Second: Self Purification:{Tazkya}




One should start reading about it and know it. We can read abook such as(Self Endorsement) to Sheikh Ahmed Farid or {The story of the obligation} to Sheikh Muhamed Hussein Yacoub.




Guidance after Ramadan is summed up in the verse ( and I shall forgive those who repent ,believe and work righteousness and then guided).



{Taha:82}





God almighty is Ghaffar who forgives many sins to every one who act according to this tripartite recipt:





1-repent and come closer to Allah through repentance.



2-believe and know Allah and realise him.



3-work rightously and become successfully for good deeds.




-So you must renew your repentance and faith and renew your good works constantly so Allah almighty help you for guidance.




-Vow Allah now and be wary of those who break the covenants with Allah almighty because those people are losers.
