 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته إذا كنت تحضر أيضاً رمضاناً بأسئلة الأسئلة يمكنك أن تخبرنا بأسئلة at www.amu.org السؤال الذي سنقوم بأسئلة today is as follows إذا كنت توقف من تحضر أيضاً رمضاناً هل ستكون لن تنسى؟ الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على المبعوث يرحمة للعالمين نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين هذه السؤال كانت تساعدة كونتكس من حديث الذي كنت أخبره حيث جبريل صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى الله عليه وسلم من أدركه شهر رمضان فلم يغفر له فدخل النار فأبعده الله قل آمين فقلتوا آمين أن جبريل صلى الله عليه وسلم وقلت هل يأخذ رمضاناً وليس تنسى؟ ويأخذ النار ويأخذ النار ويأخذ النار ويقول آمين وقلت آمين وقلت وقلت هل هذا يعني that if a person stops doing the regular actions that they were doing in Ramadan does that mean that they will not be forgiven or if we could expand upon this hadith the hadith of جبريل coming and saying that whoever catches Ramadan or whoever meets Ramadan or reaches Ramadan and is not forgiven and enters the fire may Allah cast him far away say آمين then first of all with regard to this hadith this hadith indicates the huge opportunities for forgiveness in Ramadan and that somebody who doesn't manage to get one of those opportunities really is has been cast away by Allah سبحانه وتعالى and that is not the case that it doesn't mean or necessarily that it's to do with the continuity of the actions as such we're going to come to that in a moment but it does mean that there are huge numbers of opportunities for forgiveness in Ramadan so it's a wretched person who doesn't get even one of them you know of all the opportunity every night Allah has from the fire Allah has people who freeze from the fire every single day there are opportunity there is accepted to out of the fasting person there are so many opportunities for forgiveness all of these things that if someone doesn't manage to get through Ramadan without being forgiven that is a real sign of great concern and it's a sign of wretchedness may Allah protect you and I from that so as for the continuity of actions after Ramadan then in reality there are two situations the first is that a person doesn't you know just doesn't get near to Allah except in Ramadan the time that they worship Allah they are Ramadan Muslim and the second situation is that the person leaves some of the actions that they did in Ramadan like they did extra prayers they don't do them but maybe قيام الليل they did in Ramadan and they don't do قيام الليل after Ramadan but we're talking first of all about the one who is a Ramadan Muslim they only come near to Allah and they only worship him during the month of Ramadan and that isn't the purpose of Ramadan Allah عز وجل told us كتب عليكم الصيام كما كتب علي الذين من قبلكم لعلكم تتقون or you who believe fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those who came before you so that you may achieve تقوى so it's not تقوى that a person obeys Allah in Ramadan and then doesn't do anything to obey Allah or is incredibly disobedient to Allah outside of Ramadan and that's why it was said to بشر ابن الحارث رحم الله تعالى إن قوما يتعبدون ويجتهدون في رمضان فقط قال بئس القوم لا يعرفون الله حقا إلا في رمضان إن الصالح الذي يتعبد ويجتهد السنة كلها it was said to him that there are people who they worship and they work hard only in Ramadan he said what a terrible people they are they only know Allah really in the month of Ramadan the righteous person is the one who works the whole year and that is really that's regarding the one who is really even though we say that this is relative because this is said in the age of of righteousness I mean an age where the people generally were in a state of righteousness that we wouldn't even recognize in the time that we're in but in terms of now what we would call a Ramadan Muslim it's terrible that you only come to know Allah in Ramadan you only worship Allah in Ramadan you only get near to Allah in Ramadan it's the purpose of the other 11 months of the year and ultimately the righteous person and the person of Taqwa is the one that tries the whole year the whole year around having said that when it comes to individual actions or some of the excellent standard that you were at in Ramadan dipping a little bit then for this we have the hadith of Abdullah ibn al-Asr رضي الله عنهما the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said كانت فترته إلى غير ذلك فقلت هلك he said every action has a time of enthusiasm and energy and every time of enthusiasm has a lull or a time where you dip so whoever's enthusiasm is in accordance to my sunnah has been successful and whoever's dip or lull is to something else they have been destroyed and we can add to that the hadith of أبي حوريره which has a similar wording the hadith of أبي حورير رضي الله عنه in which the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said that everything has a time of enthusiasm and energy and every time of enthusiasm has a lull or a dip where you slow down so if the person who does this tries their best to do the right thing and come as near to it as they can do as much as they can then I have hope for them and if it is pointed to them by the finger and this is perhaps a sign of react any that the people point at them and the people say look at their عبادة look at how good they are فلا تعودوا don't consider this to be anything what the people think doesn't count for anything but here what we want is the beginning of the hadith if the person who experiences that they dip a little bit you sometimes dip a bit after Ramadan not praying as much not reading as much Quran you're still doing the minimum because you haven't dropped below the sunnah of the prophet you haven't dropped out of the the requirements of a Muslim you're praying your 5 daily prayers you're trying to do you know your wittar your sunnah prayers what you can but maybe you're not praying at the same level you were praying in Ramadan so if the person doesn't go below the minimum standard and they try to do the right thing and they try to get as near to it as they can and do as much of it as they can and fear Allah as much as they can that you can have hope for this person and this is not a person who should feel despair of the mercy of Allah عز وجل الله سبحانه وتعالى قل يا عبادي الذين أسرفوا على أنفسهم لا تقنطوا من رحمة الله إن الله يقفر الظنوبة جميعا إنه هو الغافور ورحين say all my servants who have transgressed against themselves don't despair of the mercy of Allah الله forgives all of the sins and Allah is الغافور الرحيم الله سبحانه وتعالى is الغافور الرحيم من النحليث أبي ذر أبي لما مسلم يا عبادي إنكم تخطئون بالليلي والنهار وأنا أغفر الظنوبة جميعا فاستغفروه فاستغفروني أغفر لكم all my servants indeed you the prophet says and narrates this from Allah عز وجل indeed you commit sins in the night and in the day and I forgive all the sins so ask me my forgiveness and I will forgive you so to answer the question in a long way a long way around that ultimately nobody should be despairing the forgiveness of Allah even the one who is the Ramadan مسلم who only worships Allah in Ramadan that person if they turn to Allah عز وجل and they ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى for his forgiveness then insha Allah الله سبحانه وتعالى will forgive them if they are sincere الله سبحانه وتعالى will forgive them he is الغافور الرحيم nobody should despair of that nobody should despair and there is no doubt that we should be trying to continue our actions from Ramadan as much as we can سددو وقاربو do the right thing do the best you can and come as close to it as you're able to do do as much of it as you can and there's no doubt that that should be that's how what Allah عز وجل commander us فأذا فرغت فنصب when you finish one عبادة start the next عبادة ويزيدوا الله الذي نهتد أوهده and Allah gives an increasing guidance to those who are guided and you start an عبادة and Allah guides you to another عبادة you finish an عبادة and Allah guides you to another one you become free from what you are doing and you start straight away with another act of worship فأذا فرغت فنصب so ultimately that's how we should be and if we have some dips and some lull and some times where we slow down but we don't go below the minimum standard set by a Muslim then inshallah this is not from this is from the things that happen to people and it's not from the means to be cut off from Allah's forgiveness and the hadith itself refers towards the massive opportunities for forgiveness in the month of Ramadan and the wretchedness of the person who isn't able to even get one of those many opportunities and Allah عز وجل knows best والصلاة والسلام عنابينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعي
