It is reported that The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “There are no days on which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days.” They said: “Not even jihad for the sake of Allah?” He said: “Not even jihad for the sake of Allah, unless a man goes out himself for jihad taking his wealth with him and does not come back with anything.” [Bukhari, 2/457]
Now you see how great

There’s an important fact that we — you and I — need to remember.We make mistakes and that isnt new amongst humans.
So give yourself permission to ‘Be Human!’ as soon as you do that you will accept the shortcomings that you come up against.

Because I come up against them too!And I pick myself up and try harder.We all want that Ramadan feeling forever — however we always seem to forget that Allah (swt) has blessed us with Ramadan as a training month and our test begins as soon as we break our last fast and Eid is announced.We spend a whole month intensely working on our soul and perfecting our ibaadah that as soon as Eid is announced we retreat back to our negative mindset.

Here’s the key word — ‘Mindset’.

But in Ramadan we were able to switch into intense ibaadah mode — so what happened?
We don’t believe — like we did in Ramadan — mindset.
We don’t pace ourselves, we blame ourselves and then we stay stuck in a rut.
But Allah (swt) is most Merciful — He (swt) gives us 5 opportunities each day to turn to Him and ask for His forgiveness, mercy and help.
Then He (swt) gives us special times and days to get us into intense ibaadah mode and get us back on track.
