Fasting 50%

Are you suure when you are fasting? that your fast is compleete?

What if you hire someone to do something for you, but they only do part of the job and leave the rest incomplete? Will you recompense them fully for a job completed?

And what do you think a teacher would say if a student turns in only some of his homework and fails to do the rest of it? Will he get full marks for it?

And what about a child who is supposed to clean his whole room, but he only cleans half of it? Do you think he did what was required of him? Would you reward him for a job well done?

The answer to all of the above is an obvious NO !!!

Thats because they did not complete what they were supposed to do and only did part of it. And thus they do not deserve to be fully rewarded.

Do you realize, that you are missing out on something?

Dont you want to obey the One who created you, gave you life, food, health, family, friends and everything that you know and don't know of ??!!

The Propeht Muhammad(Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “It may be that the fasting person gets nothing from his fast apart from hunger, and it may be that the one who prays qiyaam at night may get nothing from his qiyaam but a sleepless night.” (Ibn Majah)

And he (Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam) said: “Whoever does not give up false speech and acting upon it, Allaah has no need of his giving up his food and drink.” (Bukhaari)

Imagine! All that hard work.....all that effort you put into fasting, and some or even all of it may be lost!

Do remember, that the purpose of fasting is not just to give up food and drink, but to attain piety. The real aim is to stay away from sins and those deeds that displease Allaah. And to train oneself to obey Allaah and submit to Him.

“O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may attain piety” [al-Baqarah 2:183]

So submit to Allaah fully. Obey Him, just like you obey Him in fasting and praying. Dont let the Shaytaan keep you away from getting full reward for all your hard work in Ramadhaan. Let your fasting motivate you to obey Allaah and keep away from that which He has forbidden.

Use this perfect chance for you to start ...
no, not from tomorrow…...but from today...

“And whosoever obeys Allaah and His Messenger, he has indeed achieved a great achievement (i.e. saved from Hell‑fire and admitted to Jannah)” (al-Ahzaab 33:71)
