#RamadanDailyDigest: After Ramadan Day 10, How Would You Assess Yourself?

As everyone who is fasting clocks Ramadan Day 10 tonight, how would you assess yourself in all acts of worship that should be done during Ramadan fasting? Would you give yourself below, average or a passmark? When you assess yourself, you would be able to know how to buckle up going into the remaining 19 or 20 days of Ramadan.

The question of how would you assess yourself is important as it keeps you in check if you have been neglecting all what will increase your spirituality and keep you closer to Allaah or not. This is because in verse 186 of Suuratul Baqara (chapter 2) of the Glorious Qur'an, Allaah stated that: "when my servants (Muslims who are fasting) ask you (Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him) about Me (Allaah), surely I (Allaah) am close to them (Muslims who are fasting); I (Allaah) answer the prayers/supplications of the person praying when he calls Me (Allaah); therefore they (people) should answer Me (by worshipping Me, Allaah) and believing in Me (Allaah) so that they (people) would be guided."

The message in the above quoted verse of chapter 2 is that when a Muslim does what Allaah wants from him in terms of worship, keeping to lawful things and doing away with forbidden acts, Allaah is ever ready to answer such a Muslim's prayers. Therefore, the question of how would you assess yourself after Ramadan Day 10 is telling you that all the things you want from Allaah would be given to you when you obey Allaah.

In this wise, how have you fared so far with the five daily compulsory prayers of Subh, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Ishaa? How have you gone in the recitation of the Glorious Qur'an, or you even haven't opened The Book of Allaah since the commencement of Ramadan up to now? Do you leave the Mosque immediately after Salaatul Ishaa, without performing Taraweeh? These and others are loads of questions you need to answer regarding how would you assess yourself so far as Ramadan for this year continues its journey.

Going to the Mosque and other acts of worship in Ramadan, how would you assess yourself?

It is never too late for you to allow the spirit of Ramadan to enter you in terms of engaging in acts of worship which will make you maximise the benefits of the holy month of Ramadan.

Conclusively, suffice to state here that you must strike a balance between seeking your daily bread and acts of worship in Ramadan.
