if ramadan was successful for a person.

Some questions to start first

To give preference to the Holy and honouring His way of life and teaching, Overall leaders and role models and give preference to His way of life over all false and opposing way of life and life styles.

Prophet

Compassion upon Creation: To fulfil the rights of Allah’s creation and have compassion upon the according to teaching of Quran and Sunnah by pro-tecting life, honour, wealth and also save them from Hellfire.

To have Presence of Allah: To always be in the presence of Allah, with the inner self and the heart and remember that Allah is with me, Watching me, hearing everything I say…

Before the advent of a war, usually the general of an army will give specific instructions to his soldiers of where, what, how and when they are to fight the enemy. The strategic tactics they will use and how to make the best use of a person's skills when it comes to hand to hand fight.

Allah locks up the Devil. You  see  more  people  doing  good  things.

This is exactly what Allah Azzawajal did and does every Ramadhan. Ramadhan was a training ground for every believer on how to gain the upper hand against the devil and his army, how to defeat or hold ransom the devilish people. To keep them in check and maintain the grounds gained. The holy month is not merely a month of worship and charity as this cancan be done outside Ramadan as well. It is a month of training in the art of warfare against the nemesis of humanity, the devil!

By having the big devils locked up all Ramadhan, Allah gave the chance for believers to train hard in Ramadhan in order defeat the devil once he is re-leased back into the wrestling ring of life.

Month of Ramadhan has come and gone, what have I achieved?

It would be unfortunate that someone who has been training all month simply gives up as soon as the opponent enters the wrestling ring. This is the case with many believers, all through the month they had been working hard and building on their iman but on the very day of Eid. They simply refuse to fight and win or to intimidate the opponent into leaving them alone. them alone.

Fundamentally Allah has instilled 3 outcomes of Ra-madan. Anyone who has these qualities will be able to continue to keep the spirit of Ramadan alive throughout the year:

To stop oneself from sin, or to minimise the level of sins.InIn Ramadan Allah forbids believ-ers to do many of the legal things which are usually allowed. This is done as a precautionary measure to stop Muslims from indulging in the haram acts.

Be in the constant remembrance that Allah is with me, watching me and hearing me. MuslimsMuslims grow this conceptualisa-tion into reality in Ramadhan by the constant prayers of taraweeh, recitation of the glorious Quran,

To give Dawah. ManyMany non - Muslims in the place of work, social gatherings or even lunch breaks ask Muslims why they dont eat or drink. This gave the believers a chance to explain Ramadhan and in turn a window for dawah.

To Give preference to Allah and His commands, By controlling ones de-sires in compliance with the divine commands through practical struggle every day.

Tareeqah MuhammadiyahThe point to note is, the qualities of loyalty and re-belliousness can both be good or bad depending on how the person uses them. For instance, a person who is loyal to Allah and his prophet (sal-lallahu alihiwasallam) and rebellious against the temptations and whisperings of the devil is a good thing. Where as a person who is rebellious to the commands of Allah and is loyal to the devilish ways and lifestyle is a bad thing. Ultimately, it points to the notion anyone who wants to change or be a friend of Allah can and will be able to. It is just a matter of changing how the qualities of loy-alty and rebelliousness are used.

Loyalty and becoming Friends of Allah

What is the solution?

Opposing Allah and his commands. Dealing with people unjustly.

Haram earnings.

NODisrespect Not honouring people.

Dresscode is against the Sunnah; Sisters are revealing their body’s for people to see.

Social time / TV:Watching wrong pro-grammes. Morals and attitudes are erod-ing Islamic etiquettes.

Truth and lying:Cannot tell the difference.

Part-time:Have me and you become part time Muslims?

In the end, these tools of survival in the war against the devil should be used after ramadhan in the everyday life. Ramadhan is a miniature version of a person's normal life. If these qualities can be done in Ramadhan, then in the larger version of the everyday life it can also be implemented.

Tools of Survival

The common muttering of the devil is once a be-liever slips into sin, he makes the believer think he has lost all abilities to redeem himself and start fresh in the attempt to lead a pious life.

Allah offered us all His Rahmat /Mercy Magh-firat feedom from Hellfire [Nijat] and last 10 days Itkaaf and Lailatu Qadar.
