Ramadan is the blessed month which is here now and I pray for you and your families that all of you find this Ramadan very pleasing with good deeds, tilawat of Quran, likeness, the accomplishment of taqwa, ALLAH\u2019s Mercy and Forgiveness. As Muslims, we are so blessed that ALLAH has given us this lovely month of fasting which He reserved totally for the followers of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).<\/p>\n
Are you suffering from any disease(sick) and you are feeling sad because you think you will miss the blessings of Ramadan as you can\u2019t fast and offer Tarawih<\/a> <\/strong>in the mosque or read Quran as much as you would like to read? Or you will like to help someone you love in this regard. Don\u2019t worry, Insha\u2019Allah in this article, we will see how can we strive for Allah’s blessings and maximize the blessings of Ramadan<\/a><\/strong> even though we are unable to fast due to sickness. It\u2019s that time of year again! Ramadan is here Alhamdulillah, that we are alive to witness it again this year. Well, I am happy to be alive this year.<\/p>\n Allah is so merciful. He just wants to try us. That\u2019s it. The mercy of this month is open for us, to ask, request, and beg Him for health and wellness and also to ask for mercy and guidance for all our loved ones. And so, I want to tell you: Don\u2019t feel sad if you are sick and about missing your fasting. This is Allah\u2019s will. Accept it with good patience<\/a><\/strong>. And the good, in fact, the great news is that you can share the excitement, the planning just as everyone else and\u00a0earn the benefits\u00a0of this month Insha\u2019Allah.<\/p>\n The month of Ramadan is for everyone<\/a><\/strong>, for the one who is fasting and for the one who is not. This is why Allah exempted Ramadan for the Sick or traveling from fasting. So that they can do what they can with ease as Allah does not burden a soul more than they can bear. And Insha\u2019Allah, once you are up to it you can get the blessings of this holy month. So let\u2019s see ways in which we can fully reap the benefits and enjoy our ibadah (worship) this Ramadan!<\/p>\n Say to yourself, \u201cRamadan is here and Allah\u00a0is so merciful that He\u00a0has given me another chance to seek His forgiveness and mercy.\u201d Alhamdulillah. And ask Allah to enable you to spend Ramadan in a manner most pleasing to Him.<\/p>\n Start writing down all the Dua\u2019s that you want<\/a><\/strong> to make for yourself, your health, your akhirah, your family, your<\/a> <\/strong>friends, and the ummah. Get your Quranic Dua\u2019s in one place and the masnoon Duas in another place. Make a basket or box in which you can keep these duas and a tasbih near your bed or where you rest so that you can take it out yourself and wouldn\u2019t need to call someone to give it to you every single time. Too weak to read? No problem! Get your dua audios ready on your mobile.<\/p>\n Read the Quran from now,<\/a><\/strong> if you aren\u2019t already doing it for one page, half a page, whatever you can manage, just do it. If you can\u2019t read, then listen to it for 10 minutes, 15 minutes, or how much every time you can afford to spend and pay attention to without feeling sick. Sadly, I couldn\u2019t listen to a lot of Quran with attention. I wish I had been able to. May Allah make it easy for you. Continue this habit even after Ramadan at a pace<\/a><\/strong> that you can easily manage.<\/p>\n Start Planning your activities\u00a0like iftar during any \u201cgood days\u201d that you get.<\/p>\n Try to shift your daily activities if you can, so that you are able to wake up more easily in the night for tahajjud and fajr. Start with small goals\u201410-15 minutes daily. Remember Allah sees the effort that you make. Maybe the reward which you will get for doing ibadah for 15 minutes will be equal to the reward for a person who does ibadah for 3 hrs, simply because the amount of effort you put in is equal to his effort. Allah knows your struggles.<\/p>\n The fidiyah is the amount of money you need to feed a poor person for each day. You can check the ruling regarding this matter\u00a0here\u00a0Insha\u2019Allah.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Just keep repeating\u00a0la illaha ilallah, SubhanAllah, Alhamdullilah, Astgahfirullah\u00a0or any other azkar that you like all the time.<\/p>\n \u00a0Prayer is most important<\/a><\/strong> so don’t let anything stop you from praying. Just DON\u2019T GIVE UP ON SALAH.<\/p>\n Allah loves us and He will love you more when He sees you strive to please Him more. As in a hadith Qudsi, Allah says,<\/p>\n \u201cI am as my slave thinks of me, and I am with him when He calls upon me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Yes, you heard me right, smile. It\u2019s a form of charity. Smile at everyone you see this Ramadan.<\/a><\/strong> Not only will it be counted as a charity for you, but it will also ease your heart and that of those who love you. As the Messenger of Allah said,<\/p>\n \u201cYour smiling in the face of your brother is charity\u2026\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Do what you can do. In the part of a beautiful\u00a0hadith,\u00a0Allah\u00a0says,<\/p>\n \u201cMy slave comes nearer to Me, is what I have enjoined upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawaafil till I love him\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cYour giving directions to a man lost in the land is\u00a0charity\u00a0for you. You\u2019re seeing for a man with bad sight is a charity for you, your removal of a rock, a thorn or a bone from the road is charity for you. Your pouring what remains from your bucket into the bucket of your brother is charity for you.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Sickness brings with itself a lot of emotions that are as bad as the disease itself. Medicines can cure the disease with Allah\u2019s\u00a0permission, but the negative emotions can only be cured by the remembrance of Allah\u00a0and the love of those taking care of the sick.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026No doubt, in the remembrance of Allah find satisfaction the hearts<\/strong>.\u201d (Ar-Ra\u2019d, 13:28)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This Ramadan, don\u2019t let the days<\/a><\/strong> slip away in sadness and despair. So what if you are sick and unable to fast? Allah\u2019s\u00a0mercy incorporates all. Alhamdulillah Ramadan is here, with all its glory.<\/p>\n Celebrate, as the month of blessings<\/a> <\/strong>is here. Say Alhamdulillah that Allah\u00a0has given yet another chance for you to live through this month once again. Alhamdulillah that Allah\u00a0has given you the chance to worship Him in a manner pleasing to Him again this year. Who knows, you might catch Laila-tul-Qadr this Ramadan Insha\u2019Allah!<\/p>\n I ask Allah to grant all of you complete health and Imaan. May He enable you to do acts that are pleasing to Him and may He accept your efforts to please Him. Ameen<\/p>\n Ramadan is for everyone, for the one who is fasting and who is not. This is why Allah exempted those who are sick or traveling from fasting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":3470,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4,542,368,369],"tags":[263,244,980,977,250,245,922,246,259,979,260,247,248,266,978,981,261,265],"yoast_head":"\n\n
