There is a dangerous tendency noticed especially in Ramadan, i.e. wasting one’s time instead of spending it in Allah’s worship, remembrance and obedience. In fact, it is the renunciation of Allah’s worship and obedience which results in the deprivation of Allah’s Mercy and Divine awards.
Thus, Allah said: “But whosoever turns away from My message verily for him is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgement. He will say: ‘O my Rubb, why have you raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)? Allah will say: ‘ Thus did you, when Our signs came unto you, you disregarded them, so wilt thou, this day, be disregarded.’ And thus do We recompense him who transgresses beyond bounds and believes not the signs of his Rubb: and the punishment of the Hereafter is far more grievous and more lasting.”[1]
Don’t you feel sorry for the young Muslims who ramble in the streets or playgrounds during the auspicious nights of Ramadan? How many sins are committed openly on these blessed nights?
Yes, indeed, a true Muslim should pity young Muslims who loiter the hours away in vain. No doubt, a way to gain happiness is to give advice to Muslims who go astray and show them the right way. On the other hand, we should pray to Allah to help them follow His way so as to avoid spreading evil…
