"There are three categories of people whose du`aa' (supplications) will not be
rejected: the person who observes the fast until he breaks, a just ruler, and
the person who has been wronged." (At-Tirmidhi)
Now, let us ask ourselves again, my dearest brothers and sisters: when is the perfect timing for us to ask Him all that our hearts desire?
Yes, you are right!
Just about the very moment we are about to break our fasts.
Absolutely!
And let us ask ourselves another question- are we going to use this golden opportunity given by our Lord, Allah the Almighty, during the last precious 5-10 minutes before we break our fast to pray to Him;
to supplicate to Him and to ask from Him to fulfill our needs; to solve the problems that we face; to protect ourselves and our loved ones from harm; to forgive us for our mistakes; to bless us with a good marriage and spouse; to have faithful and successful children; to make our affairs easy; to pass us in our exams; to have good friends and companions; to give us peace and contentment; to allow us entrance to His Paradise; to make us His faithful servants; to protect us from Hellfire; to save us from punishments in the grave; to bless us with good knowledge; to shower us with wealth and abundance; to provide us with good health and to make us successful in this life and Hereafter?
OR are we going to be busy asking everyone to sit around the table, pass the food and drinks, still be cooking in the kitchen, talk about the traffic we faced on the way back from work and maybe discuss world politics?
Which ones are we really going to do my brothers and sisters, in the last 10 minutes of breaking our fasts?
Ya Allah, it is now 15 minutes before the time to break my fast. Please excuse me everyone. I have to make a bus load full of requests to my Lord who will only say YES to me.
See you after iftar!
Oh, wait a minute… you say something?
What? You say you want to join me?
Definitely, the more the merrier!
Come on now…let’s do this together…
How lovely....
