In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate

"May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You"

Praise
be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with
Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds.
Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever
Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no
god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and
Messenger.

Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah
As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu

Ramadhan : Save and Continue 

Nearly
everyone in this age of modern technology has at some stage worked with
a P.C. We have used it to draft documents, amend these documents,
copied and pasted onto documents, used the "undo" icon, edited documents, just to mention a few of the time saving operations that we find on this device.

After
opening a document that we have worked upon previously and made the
necessary changes and improvements a little box appears on the screen
asking the question: 

Do you want to save the changes you have made to this document? 
You are then given the option of selecting the YES tab or the NO tab. 

Selecting the YES tab will give you the desired results.
Selecting the NO tab literally takes you back to square one. 
All the effort made in editing, improving and shaping the document becomes an exercise in futility.

Dont
we all find ourselves in a similar predicament when the blessed month
of Ramadaan passes us? Just think of your book of deeds like a document
on your P.C. 

During the month of Ramadaan we have done amongst other things the following-
� Increased our Ibaadah and acts of charity;
� Took control of our feelings and emotion;
� Responded with compassion and sensitivity to the needs of other;
� Multiplied our good deeds;

At
the same time we have spent many hours on the Musallah begging for
Allahs forgiveness for our sins, errors and transgressions.

The vital question that needs to be asked is :
Do we want to save the changes that we have made in the month of Ramadaan? 
Are we going to press the YES tab or the No tab?

Pressing
the YES tab will leave us with a new, improved version. A version of
heightened spirituality, a version of righteousness, a version that is
pleasing to our Creator. 

Pressing
the NO tab will take us back to square one; back to our old habits
before Ramadaan, back to the life of sin and immorality, back to a life
of heedlessness and back to a life subjecting ourselves to the wrath of
the Almighty.

How
do we improve on this document; the document of our lives, the document
of our deeds, the document that we are going to present to Allah the
Almighty on the Day of Reckoning? Here are some hints: Copy and Paste
from the life of our illustrious master Muhammad Sallallahu alayhi
Wasallam.

Use the "undo" icon by making Taubah immediately after any transgression as the Hadith states "The one who repents from sin is like one who has committed no sin at all"

There
may not be a need to do a "spell check" but there is certainly a need
to do a "sincerity check" and a "Shariah check"? Are we complying?

There
may be files and folders that we want to keep while there could be some
others we would not even want others to know exist. 

Many of us begged Allah to "delete" our sins and dark deeds .We cried before Allah, shed tears of remorse and vowed not to commit those sins in future. 

Going back to the sins that we have asked Allahs forgiveness for would be like making a visit to the "recycle bin".

What
about viruses? P.C. users are also very wary about e-mails they receive
and the sites that they visit, fearing the admission of a virus that
may pollute their system and cause it to malfunction.

Why
do we then subject our minds and thoughts to immoral sites and dens of
vice which would pollute our moral system and cause us to malfunction? 

What anti-virus software have we installed to ward off the variety of Fitnahs that confront us everyday?

Fortunate
is the person who has saved the changes. Extremely unfortunate is the
person who has made no changes as he /she has nothing to save.
