What is the naseehat of Ramadhaan?

Question

What is the naseehat of Ramadhaan?

Answer

The naseehat of Ramadhaan is that the attitude of piety should be extended throughout the year. You have to reflect on the fact that when during fasting, the lawful things (food, drink, etc.) become haraam, then to a greater degree will haraam things be prohibited in Ramadhaan. We have made halaal things (food, etc.) haraam on the command of Allah Ta'ala during Ramadhaan, hence throughout the year we should abstain from the things which Allah Ta'ala has made haraam. Ramadhaan is an adequate training for gaining piety if one fasts correctly. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "For numerous people their fasting is nothing but hunger." That is, the benefits and goodness of the fast are denied to them on account of their indulgence in sin and futility whilst fasting.
