Things to do in the last 3 days of Ramadan
In these 3 days practice how you will be when you go back. Try to taste this before you leave this place. One bayan for ladies was about protecting tongue, so try to stop yourself from using your tongue in a wrong way. Speak less, so you can feel more. Ask ya rabb I want to feel chup ka maza, chup ki candy, suck on the candy of silence. The child keeps sucking on the candy and keeps getting sweet taste.
Another bayan for women was about being good mothers. Woman should try to be good mothers, men should make intention to help wife in being a better mother. Role of father in parenting is that he is a support group. Make this dua that I want to be better father or husband.
In this path of dhikr everything has to increase, not only your ibadah. You should say just like my anger controlling got better, my salah got better, my being a father got better. make dua I don't want any aspect to be untouched by this atekaf. I want so much noor that every aspect of my life goes up. You want that noor to enter every aspect of your being.
First general bayan was valuing itekaf, value of being in solitude, make dua you gave me moments of being along with you. When you go home free up some place in your home, your retreat sanctuary. Nabi sws used to say me and my Allah swt we have a time together. I have deep desire for Allah swt. Don't think it's just night of 27th, the seeking for ALlah swt continues. If you continue here then you will be able to continue even after ramadan. We give special bayan on 27th but that's not climax, your climax is eid and that is also just the beginning. view these 3 days as you have to preserve and persever in all that you have learnt after you go home.
It's not just about crying in dua that what will happen when i leave. Be confident and hopeful that I made these ibadah and I have full hope and confidence that You will let me maintain all of that. Sometimes you also have to make dua to Allah swt like that. Not doing so is against our sense that Allah swt is all giving all merciful.
2nd bayan was about yaum al qayamah - we seem to forget that there will be reckoning. Remind yourself in the next few days. Feel that ya Allah swt remind me of qayamah.Make practice of being aware of the day of Judgement.
3rd bayan was about amal us saleh - what type of deeds can you maintain. If you feel I can recite Qur'an after fajr or pray salatul chasht practice it in the next 3 days, make a firmer grip, grip them strongly so you won't let go once you go back. Some things you can only do when you go out in there in world like smiling, giving charity, make dua for taufeek and make intention for such deeds.
4th bayan consequences of sins in this world. Beg Allah swt for forgiveness. Realize that if you do true tawbah now, you will not have to face the consequences of those sins once you go back. That torment will be lifted. Target some particular sins you do, target your tawbah and make dua to your individual self make more individual personalized tawbah.
5th on love for Allah swt. Whenever you want to remember Allah swt this ayah is enough that allahu waliyulazeena amano. This is enought to make you hop, jump, skip. Do dhikr now, if you cant keep remember Allah swt few feet out of masjid what will happen to you once you go home? Make meals your dhikr time instead of making it a chatting hour. Beg Allah swt for more love.
6th was about nafs. Ya ayyahatul nafsul mutma'inah. Make dua that Allah swt gets you out of nafs e ammara, but also start getting the itmenan of nafs e mutma'inah. Don't be so anxious. There should be no friction between you people, try to be frictionless in the rest of the days.
7th bayan was about fear of Allah swt and fire of jahannam. That should be fresh in your mind. We have yaqeen that Allah swt accepted the duas and repentance and forgave us, this is the adab. But we should also feel we have so many sins we need 3 or 10 laylatul qadar for forgiveness. Start making duas and make dua for istaqamah.
Those of you who have become salik, must do muraqaba more in the next 3 days. Like the person does as much training as possible before final launch.
Go beyond explanation and understandings; that was only to facilitate you to practice. You have to experience them. The practice will lead to experience, never the explanations. Keep practicing more and more and more. Search for the feeling of Allah swt's love in your heart which is there. Practice it while here. Then inshaAllah you will be able to keep practicing it when you go back.
If you are too tried to sit, still try to be aware of Allah swt, do wuquf e qalbi. If you can do that it would be a good 7 + 3 it would be complete 10 days. If you have a good intention you will have good days.
Saying of nabi sws or awliya: actions are based on their conclusion. Khwateem means conclusion. In the next 3 days you want to write a good conclusion. We can in bayans write the initial part but now you have the pen you have to write the conclusion, try to end on a good and positive note.
This is a gathering of dhikr, ibadah, tawbah, taqwah not tabsara etc. May Allah swt grant us much more than we can ever imagine, His ability is far more than we can ever ask. This is another way to make dua that I came here for dhikr ibadah etc, but You brought me here for your Mercy that is infinite, I submit myself to your Mercy, I want more. Enter more and more and more. Then inshaAllah maybe we can change.
May Allah swt accept the 7 days that have passed and grant us more feelings in the remaining days Aameen ya rabbal aa'lameen
