But this Jihaad is not aimed at throwing ourselves
blindly into battle or acting with inflamed passion in a reckless manner. The
elevated purpose of striving in the Cause of Allaah (T) must reflect the lessons
taught in Ramadhaan. We need patience and temperance; we need to know the
Guidance and the Commands of Allaah (T) as preached and practiced by the
Messenger of Allaah (S); and we need to obey Allaah (T) and His Messenger (S)
truly and faithfully regardless of the excesses to which our own desires may be
prompting us. Therefore, when Ramadhaan has come to an end, let us not lose this
great blessing by thinking that it is over, and falling back in our more
lackadaisical ways. Let us, inshaa'allaah, take hold of this Divine Mercy and
Guidance, shape our lives around it, and become the type of human beings worthy
of being called Muslims!
Peace and blessings upon the Messenger,
his family, his companions
and
whoever follows in their footsteps
until the Day of
Judgement.
