The hadeeth
is proof that the servant is obligated, after having
eemaan (belief) in Allaah, to persevere and be steadfast
upon obeying Him by performing the obligatory acts and
avoiding the prohibited ones. This is achieved by
following the Straight Path, which is the firm Religion
without drifting away from it, to the right or to the
left.
If the
Muslim lives through Ramadhaan and spent his days in
fasting and his nights in prayer and he accustomed
himself to doing acts of good, then he must continue to
remain upon this obedience to Allaah at all times. This
is the true state of the slave, for indeed, the Lord of
the months is One and He is ever watchful and witnessing
over his servants at all times.
Indeed,
steadfastness after Ramadhaan and the rectification of
one's statements and actions are the greatest signs that
one has gained benefit from the month of Ramadhaan and
striven in obedience. They are tokens of reception and
signs of success.
Furthermore, the deeds of a servant do not come to an
end with the end of a month and the beginning of
another, rather they continue and extend until he
reaches death. Allaah says (what means):
"And worship your Lord
until the certainty (death) comes to you." [Quran
15: 99] |
