Quran - Surah No. 2 البقرة
Ayah No. 183
أَعُوذُ بِاللّٰهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
يٰٓـاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا كُتِبَ عَلَيۡکُمُ الصِّيَامُ کَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِکُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَتَّقُوۡنَۙ (183)
Translation:
those who believe, the fasts have been enjoined upon you as were enjoined upon those before you so that you be God-fearing.
_Allah Ta'ala has mentioned the previous nation to make fasting easier for us, especially in the warm season.. plus, the benefit has been mentioned which is to become God conscious_
_previously, Hadhrat Maulana Saleem Dhorat Saheb Hafizahullah narrated the story of his shaikh, Ml Farooq Saheb RA, while sitting in the haram Sharif, that O beloved son, make dua that Allah Ta'ala grant us the taqwa which is the objective of fasting_
_the father of Qari Rashid Ajmeri Saheb, Ml Raza Ajmeri Saheb RA, who was a like an angel on earth, people from far and wide would come to see him and benefit, especially when he and Hadhrat Mufti Abdur raheem lajpuri RA are together.. he would say in his bayan, when talking about ramadhan and fasting, that when a servant thanks Allah Ta'ala for the taufeeq he is given to keep the fast and do other good actions, Allah Ta'ala appreciates it so much that He addresses this servant saying you have kept the fast, and done these good actions.. (whereas the ability came from Allah)_
_what we understand from this is, Allah Ta'ala appreciates every amal if done with ikhlas, even if it is small as picking up a small litter from the masjid.._
_allamah teebi RA explains the reason for this, that is this servant has respect for the house of Allah Ta'ala, due to this, he picks up the rubbish, now has become great act in the eyes of Allah Ta'ala_
_anyway, fasting is ordained to become God conscious.. that is our struggle and dua is for_
_let us make niyyat to achieve this, and we have to struggle.. Mufti Inayatullah saheb explains struggle is to against our whim and ego.. against the nafs_
_nafs is our internal enemy we have to seek protection from, and learn to train it to move away from evil, from lust and sinful desires, and move towards good pious nafs.. that inclines towards earning the happiness of Allah Ta'ala, by implementing the commands of Allah Ta'ala and the sunnats_
_if one has this quality, he will become God conscious, and able to stay away from evil and have good actions in life_
_we ask Allah Ta'ala to grant us all the ability to practice upon what we have heard. Ameen_
سبحَانَكَ اللّٰهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا انْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتْوبُ إِلَيْكَ
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
