Pumpkin or Umpa-Lumpa

So I was sick for the middle week of Ramadan, and thought “hey, why don’t I learn from this and share that”

Narrated Jabir: “The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, visited Umm as-Sa’ib while she was sighing. He asked, ‘What is wrong with you?’ ‘The fever,’ she replied, “May Allah debase it!’ The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘Gently! Do not curse it. It removes the sins of the believer as the fire removes the impurities of iron.’” Muslim

Narrated ‘Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) Allah’s Apostle said, “No calamity befalls a Muslim but that Allah expiates some of his/her sins because of it, even though it were the prick of a thorn.” Bukhari

Narrated Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri and Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, “No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for that.” Bukhari

Where do you go after Ramadan?

It is said that “it takes 21 days to build a habit” but so many people keep saying they weren’t able to maintain much after Ramadan.

With Ramadan being 30 days that should guarantee fantastic new habits in our lives such as more Quran, longer prayers, less distractions. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.

.

The problem obviously is not with Ramadan , but our approach to Ramadan…

=======

In this two-part article, we’ll first focus on understanding the problem and then explore solutions. Full version is exclusively on MuslimMatters.org

=======

There are 2 areas of Ramadan that are misunderstood or even unknown to many Muslims.

1. Habits (as mentioned earlier)
2. Momentum

Continue on MuslimMatters

——–

In summary, in this article we looked into:

.

• Habits – they need to be built. The building process is hard before it gets easy
• Few perspectives and experiences of people after Ramadan
• Momentum – how momentum works like the on-ramp & off-ramp to a highway and that Ramadan is cushioned by two momentum makers with the months of Sha’ban and Shawwal

============

Part 2 will cover:

1. How to start building those Ramadan habits, even now…
2. My Habit Building Formula
3. A hadith about habits?

============

I’m looking forward to all your successes,
