“Praise be to Allah Who has created time and has made some
times better than others, some months and days and nights better
than others. This is in a sense that rewards are multiplied many
times than the case in other periods of time.
This reflects Allah’s overflowing mercy towards His servants, and
it encourages them to do more righteous deeds. It makes them
more eager to worship Him, so that the Muslim renews his efforts
to gain a greater share of reward, prepare himself for death and
supply himself in readiness for the Day of Judgment.
This season of worship brings many benefits, such as the
opportunity to correct one’s faults and make up for any
shortcomings or anything that one might have missed. Every one
of these special occasions involves some kind of worship, through
which the servants may draw closer to Allah. They also involve
some kind of blessing, through which Allah bestows His favor
and mercy upon whomsoever He wills.
Happiness and success are for the one who makes the most of
these special months, days and hours, and draws nearer to his/
her God during these times, through acts of worship and
righteousness. The Muslim need to understand the value of his/
her life, increase his/her worship of Allah and persist in doing
good deeds until the moment of death.
Almighty Allah says in Surah 15, verse 99:
And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty.
