Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barokatuhu.
How are you all? I hope you are all well. I am also well, Alhamdulillah. I am back with my new post after 10 days. Today I will share with you the reasons for not posting for 10 days. Let's get started
You all may be aware that until yesterday, the month of Ramadan was a month full of joyful virtues for Muslims. Muslim believers have various plans around this month. Through which they try to get closer to Allah Almighty. In this month, the mercy and kindness of Allah Almighty is showered on the believers in the greatest amount. This month is spent through fasting, sahri, iftar and various forms of worship. Compared to other months, the virtues of this month are the most with Allah Almighty. In this month, the reward of worship is more than any other month. It is 70 times more than any other month. This month of Ramadan is divided into three parts:-
- Ten days of mercy. (First ten days)
- Ten days of forgiveness. (Second ten days)
- Ten days of salvation. (Last ten days).
In the first ten days, Allah Almighty bestows more mercy on His beloved servants. The servants obtain mercy from Allah Almighty through their worship.
The last ten days of this month are the most virtuous and blessed time. This is called the moment of receiving Laylatul Qadr. Worshipping the Night of Qadr is better than a thousand months. Worshipping in the mosque during these last ten days brings one closer to Allah. The most virtuous worship of the last ten days is the worship of Itikaf. Meaning of Itikaf:-
In the hope of getting close to Allah Ta'ala and in the hope of getting Laylatul Qadr, in the last ten days of Ramadan, one should stay in the mosque, refraining from all worldly work, worldly thoughts, all technology, devices, and talking and only being immersed in worshipping Allah Ta'ala. If one goes outside the mosque except for urgent needs (urination, defecation, and obligatory bath), it will be void. It is forbidden to talk to outsiders unnecessarily while in Itikaf. Food or other essential items should be brought by someone from home only on time.
Last time, I sat in Itikaf in the mosque for the last ten days during Ramadan. I tried to refrain from doing any studies or work during this time. On the 20th of this Ramadan, I went to the mosque with the intention of sitting in Itikaf again. I left my phone at home. Because, as I said before, the month of Ramadan is a month of worship for Muslims. One should worship more and more during this month. So I try to get closer to Allah Ta'ala. After taking the necessary things from home, I went to the mosque after Asr of the 20th Ramadan. Since then I have stayed in the mosque. As per the rules, one has to stay in the mosque. Because it is a holy place, a place of worship. This purity should be maintained. In every mosque, some people sit in Itikaf. Because, not everyone can sit, for work.
My father used to bring my food. In the evening, some of the younger ones would bring it, and during Sahur, my father would go and give me the phone and I would leave it at home. That is why I did not communicate with anyone, did not do any work. I could not post either. In fact, how many more days will I stay in this world? Our main purpose is to get closer to the Creator in this short time. So that we can find happiness in the afterlife.
After the Eid moon rose, we left the mosque in the evening. Then today we celebrated Eid (Alhamdulillah). Insha Allah, I will be able to share my posts with you regularly again. I am sincerely sorry for not being able to share posts for 10 days. May everyone be well and healthy. I will see you again with a new post.
