02/08/2013_ Today is the last Friday of the Month of Ramadan. And Friday is the day the Allah wished that Muslims should meet in and perform their prayers. They would remember God and repent from their sins. Every Muslim would stand before God and renew his faith… He should be aware of what God pleases in every idea he adopts, every emotion he feels and every action (Personal, social, or otherwise) he does. But this Friday in particular drives its significance from the fact that it is last Friday in the month of Ramadan, and thus it embodies the spirit of this month. Each of us should on this day dedicate some time to sit with himself to assess what he has done since the beginning of the month and what he should to do to accomplish what he has not accomplished yet. This is what one of the supplications of the Members of the House says: “O God the days of the Month of Ramadan are about to pass… And I have reached (a stage) that you know about more than I do… I ask you what Your close angels, Your sent Prophet, and Your pious worshippers have asked: If you are pleased with (my actions) in this month I ask You to be more pleased. And if you aren’t then please grant me Your satisfaction starting from this moment. There is also another advantage of this particular Friday, The 27th of the month of Ramadan, in that it might be one of the blessed nights of Al-Qadr, since some traditions say that it should be sought in the odd nights of the last ten days of the Month of Ramadan… Thus one ought to prepare himself to receive this night and dedicate some time to think about God and feel the love of God in his soul, heart and mind and not just perform the traditional rituals, associated with the celebration.
