Today is the 15th of Ramadhaan. Half of this beautiful month has already gone ... And the next half will fly. Maybe you didn't get to read as much of the Qur'aan as you had planned..... Maybe you didn't get that khushoo' in prayer you wanted to achieve.... Perhaps you didn’t make that duaa as sincerely... Or maybe you didn't control your tongue or you lost your temper while fasting.... When we look back at the last two weeks, we ALL wish we could've DONE MORE ... ACHIEVED more.... Well, don't get disheartened and don't give up. There are still another two weeks of opportunities left. Alhamdulillaah. Hasan al-Basri said: “Improve your performance in what is left (of time) and you will be forgiven for that which has already passed. So take special care of the time you have left because you do not know when your soul will be turned over to Allaah’s Mercy.” Remember it's not how you begin--rather it's how you END that matters. The only thing that stands between you and Jannah is the firm determination to try your best and the faith to believe it's possible. So DREAM. And PLAN. And BELIEVE. Then put those plans into ACTIONS. Finish STRONG! It's up to YOU!
