Take Advantage of the Middle Ten Days of RamadΔn! Shaykh SΔlih Al-FawzΔn ΨَΩِΨΈَΩُ Ψ§ΩΩΩ
O people! Fear AllΔh, the Most-High! The first ten days have passed from your month (i.e. the month of RamadΔn) and are upon the verge of the middle ten days. Then don't slow down (when) the last ten days come upon you (and) then (suddenly) the month comes to an end. So look at what you have deposited by way of good deeds. Think about what has passed from it, and how you will spend what remains (of it). Contemplate within yourselves. Whoever is a good-doer then let him continue and complete it (i.e. the month) with benevolence and good. And whoever fell short and was heedless, then let him repent to AllΔh for that which has passed and catch up with what remains (of it), for indeed actions are (in accordance with) their endings. So Fear AllΔh O servants of AllΔh. Preserve and persist in your month in which AllΔh has made as an opportunity for you in your life. Do not waste it! (It's a) tremendous month, the month of fasting and standing (in prayer). The gates of hell are closed and the gates of paradise are open. And the devil is chained and a caller calls out 'O seeker of good, commence! O seeker of evil, refrain!' And this (happens) every night. So respond to the caller of AllΔh, O servants of AllΔh. And do not persist upon your heedlessness and your carelessness! For lifetimes are short and time is limited. And action(s) are preserved. And you are called to account and recompensed. So envision your return and rectify your actions! We ask Allah to grant us and you success in our actions, in this month and in other than it, to righteous good speech and deeds.
