Assalam o Alaikum۔ Shab-e-Juma Mubarak۔ We are so lucky to have seen another Ramadan۔ Being first Shab e Juma of Ramadan، blessings of the day have already increased manifold۔ Let's make the best of it۔ How do we do that؟ The answer lies in today's Ayah No 107. Like an enticing real estate advert, the last part of Ayah invites us to reside in Seven Star Jannah of Allwh swt. Naturally, question comes to mind, what is the cost? The answer lies in first part of this Ayah. You just have to have power of Emaan (Allah swt is our Lord) and perform righteous deeds in this life. How simplex is the payment plan? So why is it so difficult today follow this plan? Why most of us default? Probably, when we an entrapped by temptations, we start thinking that we’ve gone too far, now there is no hope of redemption. Allah may not forgive us. Whereas, there is always hope. Just need to resist remptations. Can't always follow our instincts and then hide behind inability to handle temptations.
The bottom line is that obstacle between us residing in Seven Star Adobe or else, is overcoming temptations. We all are well versed with the knowledge of religion but we are very poor in acting upon that knowledge. Swimming across the gulf between knowledge and action on religious understanding is our only chance.
May Allah give us strength to act on what we know and help us overcome temptations. Ameen
