Ramadan

We tend to ignore so many lessons from the deaths around us.

Someone we knew was alive yesterday.

Today, they are beneath the earth.

We attend the janāzah.

We watch the burial.

We hear the duʿāʾ.

We say, “May Allah forgive him.”

We return home…

…and somehow continue living as though death is something that happens to other people.

But every funeral is a reminder.

Every grave is a reminder.

Every person who leaves this dunya is silently telling those who remain:

“Your turn is coming too.”

The question is not whether we will die.

The question is:

What will we have prepared for that day?

The sins we keep postponing repentance from.

The ṣalāh we keep delaying.

The Qur’an we keep neglecting.

The ظلم we refuse to correct.

The apologies we keep postponing.

The debts we ignore.

The rights of people we violate.

The good deeds we keep saying, “One day I will start.”

What if that “one day” never comes?

Allah says:

«“Every soul will taste death.”
— Qur’an 3:185»

Death doesn't ask whether you're ready.

It doesn't wait until your plans are finished.

It doesn't wait until you've become old.

It doesn't wait until you've made tawbah.

So when you hear that someone has died, don't only say:

“May Allah grant them Jannah.”

Also ask yourself:

“If I were in that grave tonight, what would I wish I had changed?”

Then change it while you still can.

Pray while you still have the ability to pray.

Repent while the door of tawbah is still open.

Give charity while you still possess wealth.

Seek forgiveness while your tongue can still speak.

Return people's rights while you still have the opportunity.

Prepare for Allah before you are carried to Him.

Because one day, people will gather around our janāzah.

And after they bury us, they will walk away.

We will remain behind—not with our clothes, wealth, followers, status, or possessions…

but with our deeds.

May Allah grant us a righteous ending, forgive our sins, make our graves spacious and filled with light, and resurrect us among those whom He is pleased with.

Āmīn.

Allah knows best.

DEAR MUSLIMS,

Don't wait until the next Ramadan before you repent.

Don't wait until the next Ramadan before you start praying properly.

Don't wait until the next Ramadan before you return to Allah.

Don't wait until the next Ramadan before you leave that sin.

Don't wait until the next Ramadan before you open the Qur'an, fix your character, reconcile with someone, or start taking your īmān seriously.

You are not guaranteed to witness the next Ramadan.

You may be making plans for Ramadan while Allah has already written that you will not reach it.

The person who celebrated the last Ramadan with us may not be here for the next one.

And one day, people may be preparing for Ramadan while others are preparing our janāzah.

☝️ Allah says:

“And no soul knows in what land it will die.”

📖📚 Qur’an 31:34📖📚

So don't keep telling yourself:

“I'll change later.”
“I'll repent later.”
“I'll start praying later.”
“I'll become serious about Islam later.”

Later is not promised to you.

Today is an opportunity.

If you've sinned, repent.

If you've become distant from Allah, return.

If you've abandoned the ṣalāh, come back.

If you've wronged someone, make it right.

If you've neglected the Qur'an, open it again.

If your heart has become hard, ask Allah to soften it.

Don't wait for a special month to become the servant of Allah you already know you should be.

Ramadan is a blessing—but your Lord is the Lord of Ramadan and every other day.

May Allah allow us to reach the next Ramadan in good health and stronger īmān, but more importantly, may He make us return to Him before our appointed time arrives.

Repent today. Pray today. Change today.

Tomorrow belongs to Allah.

Allah knows best.

⚠️ WARNING — BEFORE MARRIAGE

If someone is not your husband or wife, do not treat them like one.

Holding hands.
Touching unnecessarily.
Leaning on each other.
Hugging.
Kissing.
Cuddling.
Sitting intimately together.
Putting your arm around them.
Caressing them.
Sleeping together.
Going on romantic dates.
Flirting and speaking sexually.
Private physical affection.
Calling each other “my husband” or “my wife” when there is no nikāḥ.

None of this becomes halal simply because you call the person your “boo,” “bae,” boyfriend, girlfriend, fiancé, or “future spouse.”

A proposal is not a nikāḥ.

Engagement is not marriage.

Having feelings for someone does not make physical intimacy permissible.

And please don't say:

“Everyone is doing it.”

Everyone doing something does not make it halal.

Islam is not measured by what is popular.

If something is prohibited, it remains prohibited even when it becomes normal in society.

☝️☝️ Allah says:

“Do not go near zinā. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and an evil way.”

Qur’an 17:32

Notice the wording: do not even go near it.

Islam teaches us to protect the heart, the eyes, the body, and the boundaries that lead to greater sin.

So if you genuinely love someone, don't prove your love by disobeying Allah with them.

Protect the relationship.

Keep your boundaries.

Involve the family and walī where appropriate.

Make the intention for nikāḥ.

And when Allah makes the marriage halal, you won't need to hide your affection.

Until then:

Fear Allah.

Your friends may laugh.

People may call you old-fashioned.

Someone may tell you, “It's normal.”

Let them say what they want.

You are not living to impress them.
You are living for Allah.

⚠️ Don't normalize haram simply because society has normalized it.

No nikāḥ = no husband/wife privileges.

May Allah protect our eyes, hearts, bodies, and relationships from what displeases Him, and grant us halal love and righteous marriages.

Āmīn.

Allah knows best.

Sometimes, in order to have peace, you just have to remember:

Qiyāmah will come.

Every injustice will be brought to light.
Every hidden ظلم will be known.
Every tear will be known.
Every betrayal will be known.
Every word you swallowed will be known.
Every ظلم that nobody saw will be seen by Allah.

You don't have to fight every battle.

You don't have to answer every accusation.

You don't have to prove your innocence to everyone.

Sometimes, you simply leave the matter with Allah and say:

“Allah is enough for me, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs.”

Because this dunya is not the final court.

The Day of Qiyāmah is coming, and justice will be done.

So forgive when you can.
Walk away when you must.
Keep your heart clean.
Don't repay ظلم with ظلم.

And trust that nothing is hidden from Al-ʿAdl — The Perfectly Just.

May Allah give us patience when we are wronged, wisdom when we are angry, and justice on the Day when every soul will receive exactly what it earned.

Hasbunallāhu wa niʿmal-wakīl. 🤲🏽
