The worst kind of ‘ujub is the ‘ujub people have in dīn - we are meant to be asking Allāh swt forgiveness in this month, not feel happy just because we fast and pray tarāwīh.

People get very sensitive. You should be highly sensitised by your own sins. If your one knee feels one second of pain whilst climbing steps, you would think oh ho, something has happened to me. When are we going to be sensitive for our spiritual health? How many times are we going to slip and lapse? People won’t be able to cry when they have ‘ujub. A few people cannot shed the physical tears, but they cry from the heart. This is what Allāh swt likes. Some people can cry, but not from the heart. It is not easy to be deceptive to one's Lord.

Inna akramakum ‘indallāhi atqākum - the most honoured to Allāh swt are the ones with the MOST and BEST taqwa. We want the best and most of everything - in Ramadān, we should apply these two words. We should want the best and most adab, the best and most akhlāq, the best and most hayā. The professionals know what I’m talking about - they have spent years upon years to get the best and most they can get from the dunyā - not just ten days. Ramadān was a reminder, a wake up call - He swt gives us a taste and a feeling to show us what it is like. He gives us better and more - we remember Allāh swt more and better! We are making dhikr whilst we are fasting - He swt makes us experience what it is likely to be dhākirīn - so we can worship longer, we wake up for suhūr, we pray tahajjud - it is a trial run. Almost everyone of you who fasts, you will definitely feel this that I am better in Ramadān. This is the karam of Allāh. This is the feeling we should have; this is the drive we should have; this is the passion we should have. This happens due to His mercy. Now in the last ten days, we are meant to try to get the BEST and MOST.


We are lucky to be alive in this month. Hadrat zulfiqar db says that there is so much nūr and faydh in Ramadān that even the non-muslims are touched - they will have some inkling that there is a Supreme Being. If they cannot go untouched, then we should never be untouched by this barakah in Ramadān. Allāh swt grants special hidāyah to those who are thirsty - wallathīna jāhadū fīnā lanahdiyannahum subulanā - whoever strives to come towards us, we will guide them to our many ways. You have to try one way, Allāh swt will guide you in many ways.

In atāni yamshī, ataytuhu harwala - if they come walking, my Mercy will come to them running. There is not better days to strive than these last ten days and last ten nights.

May Allāh swt make this a heart changing Ramadān for us. Aameen ya rabbal aa'lameen
