Assalamualaikum.....

How's your iman this Ramadhan? Insya-Allah, I pray that everyone's iman is hard rock. How's my Ramadhan so far? It's going ok, alhamdulilah...

I want to share with you something...

There's a hadith that states:

There are 3 types of people who only get HUNGER and THIRST during the month of Ramadhan:

1. Those who lie, even in the month of Ramadhan

2. Those who backbite, even in the month of Ramadhan

3. Those who still follow their nafsu, even in the month of Ramadhan

As we all know, during Ramadhan all doors of hell are closed and syaitan is tied up. So it should be easy for us to do good because there is no one to whisper bad things to us..but in reality?

During the normal months, we always blame syaitan..oh i did that because syaitan told me to. We always say syaitan is everywhere..

But in Ramadhan, who are we to blame if we lie..or if we backbite? Who are we to blame when laziness takes over? Who are we to blame when we waste time??

Here's a thought, is it really syaitan that makes us do the things we do? Or maybe its just us all along...maybe we're just too used to doing the small bad deeds that it becomes a habit..

Old habits die hard, so lets take this opportunity during this blessed month to cleanse ourselves because there's no one to stop us...let's say before this we were a messy person, why not change during ramadhan?

The only person that is stopping us, is ourselves..think about it...are we that different in Ramadhan than in other months??
