Pearls of Ar-Ruhayli - دُرَرُ الرُّحَيْلِي

قَالَ الشَّيْخُ سُلَيْمَانُ الرُّحَيْلِي حَفِظَهُ اللَّهُ Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli — may Allah preserve him — said: كَمْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ قَدْ ضَيَّعْنَاهُ How many Ramaḍāns we have wasted وَوَدَّعْنَاهُ and bid farewell to, وَمَا أَوْدَعْنَاهُ and did not deposit anything in it. فَهَلْ آنَ لَنَا So has the time not come for us أَنْ نَغْتَنِمَ الْخَيْرَاتِ to seize the acts of goodness فِي شَهْرِ الْخَيْرَاتِ in the month of goodness, وَأَنْ نُحْسِنَ لِأَنْفُسِنَا and to do good for ourselves بِمَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْبَرَكَاتِ by what is in it of blessings وَالْأُجُورِ الْمُضَاعَفَاتِ and multiplied rewards. فَلْنَعْقِدْ قُلُوبَنَا عَلَى حُسْنِ النِّيَّةِ So let us bind our hearts upon good intention, وَلْنُعَلِّ فِي نُفُوسِنَا الْهِمَّةَ and let us raise within ourselves determination, وَلْنَتَذَكَّرْ نَدَمَنَا and let us remember our regret عِنْدَ وَدَاعِ شَهْرِنَا الْمَاضِي when bidding farewell to our past month, وَلْنَحْرِصْ عَلَى شَهْرِنَا الْآتِي and let us be keen regarding our coming month. https://t.me/PearlsofRuhayli

Steps to Prepare for Ramadan: • Sincere Repentance: - Repent from all sins sincerely before Ramadan. - "And whoever repents with sincere repentance, Allah washes away his sins." - "The one who repents from sin is like one who has no sin." - "Sins are restrictive chains, they restrain the servant from being active in obedience, and they burden his shoulders." - If one repents and removes these burdens, they will find themselves active in worship during Ramadan. • Sincere Intention and Firm Determination: - "Rectification before Ramadan is achieved through sincere intention and firm determination to perform good deeds in Ramadan." - "Whoever is granted success in two matters, let him rejoice in goodness: 1. If he is granted sincerity for Allah, exalted is He, which includes firm and truthful resolve. 2. If he is granted truthfulness with Allah, being sincere and truthful." - "Allah will affirm his sincerity and will aid him, exalted and glorified is He." • Increase in Worship Before Ramadan: - Fasting: "He should strive to fast frequently in the month of Sha'ban, following the example of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him." - Qur’an Recitation: "He should increase his recitation of the Qur'an in Sha'ban more than his usual times." - Charity: "And increase in giving charity in Sha'ban more than his usual times, following the example of the righteous predecessors, may Allah be pleased with them." • Reduce Distractions: - "Among the preparations for Ramadan, which is part of rectifying oneself before Ramadan, is reducing permissible activities that consume much of one's time and distract one from striving in obedience." - "The most important matter I advise in this regard is for a Muslim to train himself from now on to reduce his use of the phone for purposes other than necessary communication." - "He should greatly limit his time looking at the phone, following websites, and other modern means available on our phones today." • Develop Self-Control Over the Phone: - "I see that what consumes most of our time today is this phone." - "Many Muslims become preoccupied from goodness in Ramadan due to these phones." - "One of them does not complete a single recitation of the Qur'an in Ramadan because the phone consumes their time entirely." - "I advise myself and my brothers to train ourselves from today to reduce our phone usage." - "Dedicate only a limited time to the phone, perhaps an hour or so, then refrain from it." - "Train yourself not to turn to the phone except in the allocated time, so that when Ramadan arrives, you are already accustomed to this practice." • Recognise the Value of Ramadan: - "Indeed, the month of Ramadan is a season of goodness, a season for acquiring rewards, a great opportunity." - "Whoever reaches Ramadan and is not forgiven, then he has truly lost." - "Thus, the believer should be keen to prepare himself for beneficial striving in Ramadan, by the permission of our Lord, exalted is He." • Dua for Reaching and Benefiting from Ramadan: - "I ask Allah, exalted is He, to bless the remaining days of Sha'ban for us, and to allow us to reach Ramadan in health and well-being, with security and iman." - "And to aid us in remembering Him, thanking Him, and worshipping Him excellently, as He loves and is pleased with." - "And to make us in Ramadan among those who race towards Paradise, hasten towards good deeds, and to protect us from negligence and shortcomings in this blessed month." - "May Allah bless and assist everyone."

قال الشيخ سليمان الرحيلي حفظه الله: Shaykh Sulayman ar-Ruhayli, may Allah preserve him, said: لم يستعد مؤمن لشهر رمضان بأعظم من كثرة الصيام في شعبان، وكثرة قراءة القرآن فيه، وتقوى الله، والتوبة الصادقة من الذنوب، وتقليل فضول الكلام، وتعويد النفس على ترك المشغلات والملهيات كوسائل التواصل الاجتماعي، والعزم الصادق على الاستفادة من شهر الخيرات، وتذكير النفس بسرعة رحيله. No believer has prepared for the month of Ramadan with anything greater than abundant fasting in Sha’ban, frequent recitation of the Qur’an in it, the fear of Allah, sincere repentance from sins, reducing excessive speech, accustoming the soul to abandoning distractions and diversions such as social media, sincere determination to benefit from the month of goodness, and reminding the soul of its swift departure. https://t.me/PearlsofRuhayli
