It is out of Allah's generosity that He has given us such an environment and the ability to implement a great act of worship. We are spiritually and physically weak. Today the final fast is about to be completed. This is all from Allah's mercy, otherwise we are not worthy and in reality we will all find out that even a bit of hunger we are not able to perverse after Ramadan. If food takes even 30 more minutes to be prepared, a person's mood goes off. If there is no water available, one starts to feel down. If he is used to drinking tea and he doesn't get the tea on time, he begins to get a headache. Allah gives us the desire and fulfills the desire too, SubhaanAllah!
Allah has kept our nature delicate. We are so weak with regards to worldly desires, but Allah had ordered us from dawn to dusk not to eat or drink whilst also continuing with our daily duties.
We will realise tomorrow that if we don't recieve food for a few hours,we won't be satisfied and we will also require the evening meal. This is a man's nature.
So how can fasting for 30 days be possible for a man ?
Allah has displayed the possibilities and He proved it to be possible.
Alhamdulillah after all this effort, we wish Ramadan doesn't depart from us. We will seek those nights and worships. What is this? This is Allah's mercy.
When Allah gives an order for something, most definetly we will experience it to be severe, but the final message of Ramadan is that, Allah's orders may seem to be severe and difficult, but they are not. The nafs do not accept them and make the worship look difficult.
Allah doesn't burden a soul more than it can bear. This was 30 days of effort. This country has a cooler climate but those in middle eastern countries for example, suffer in the heat whilst enduring labour.
Their situation is more severe than ours and they bear it as it's the order of Allah.
There is nothing severe and strict behind Allah's orders. We must try to obey them as shaytan was called wretched despite worshipping Allah as he challenged Allah.
Allah gives us the orders and also allows us to implement them. He makes those orders easy to implement. This is the message of Ramadan.
For example, tomorrow we will find abstaining from food difficult, although it was made so easy for us is Ramadan!
Ontop of fasting, we were worshipping and staying awake!
So anyone who leaves Ramadan and implements Allah's orders has become a Muttaqi!
If one gives another some keys, it means he is now enabled to drive. Similarly, Allah gave us fasting and we took hold of it in order to become a Muttaqi.
Allah didnt ask us for standard or a high level fast as we can't come to Allah's standard. Allah is happy with us merely obeying him ..(completing 30 days of Ramadan and gloryfying and praising Allah enables us to be rewarded)
Tonight is the night of Reward. It is the essence of the month of Ramadan. The night of eid ul fitr is so valuable. The night of laylatul qadr seems to be inferior infront of the night of eid ul fitr!
Payday is the best day for someone who is working. When the boss gives him the cash, he forgets the hardship he has endured. So tonight is the night of reward. Tonight Allah wants to reward the Muttaqi in such a way that all creation will hear the rewards.
When a labourer works, he is given his rewards and his rights.
So Allah says to his Angels, " bear witness to those who struggled for me. I want to give them their pay and their right." What is that?
Allah wishes to forgive those who fasted and free them from Hell fire.
Every night and day Allah frees many people from the fire of hell.
The amount of people that Allah freed during Ramadan, in this one night (fitr), Allah will free the equivalent number of people from hell also.
Allah is so happy with us although HE gave us the power to worship him.
Allah tells us that if we can live our lives according to Allah's orders for 30 days, then we should live our entire lives in the same way. Did Allah not assist us to fulfil His orders in Ramadan?

Allah says, "I swear by my glory, ask from me today I will give you." He says, " I swear by my magnificence that as long as you continue to persevere and fulfil my orders I will continue to place the veil between your sins and yourself and others and I will continue to forgive you and grant you refuge."
When the Muttaqi depart from this world, Allah will give them the approval of His pleasure.
3 things Ramadan has given us and we shouldn't abandon them.
As long as they remain in our lives, the stamp of taqwa will remain in place.
1) Dhikr Allah
2) When you make a mistake, immediately submit to Allah and ask for forgiveness.
As a result, shaytans strength is broken. If you don't do this, he will strengthen your sin.
3) Always worry about doing good deeds and be afraid of hell by running away from sins.
We must run after good deeds and those which will take us to paradise.
Many paths may take us to Paradise. For example, removing an obstacle from a path. No good deed is minor as it is takes one to paradise. To smile, to gift someone, to serve someone, or to assist someone. To pray for someone and heal a broken heart. These are all good deeds!
The best way to do Dhikr is to go to a teacher of Dhikr. Allah has created people to guide. We must go to those who teach the name of Allah. Then only we may be protected from sin and remain as a Muttaqi.
What is the sign of a Wali Allah ?
When you see him, you remember Allah, you don't remember anything worldly. The objective of going to them is for Dhikr and you shouldn't ask them anything else.
The second sign is that they adhere to the sunnah. Their whole lifestyle is the mannerism of the sunnah and they don't take shortcuts. When you sit with them, you will learn how to act upon the sunnah. This will go through thier generation.
3) when you sit in their Gathering, you will not depart without knowledge. You will have the determination to leave sins. The passion to implement increases.
Learn Dhikr from the master of Dhikr, for then forgiveness will come and fear will enter your heart. Such a person, will begin to do the actions of paradise and shun the actions which may lead him to hellfire.
With regards to tonight,
We are the workers and the workers do not run away before they are paid.
_Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (رضي الله عنه) reports that Rasulullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said,_
The heart of the person who remains awake (in ‘ibadah), desirous of attaining the promised rewards from Allah Ta’ala, during the night of ‘Eidul Fitr and ‘Eidul Adha will not die on the day when (spiritual) hearts will be dead (His heart will not die during the time of evil and corruption).
Whoever does Dhikr today and learns Dhikr, even after his death, he will be a dhaakir.
On the plains of resurrection, their faces will be shining. They will sit on glowing seats/ thrones of jewels and Pearls The fragrance of musk will be emitting from their seats. Everyone will be looking at them with envy and awe. Allah will announce that these are those people who would sit in the masjid and do the Dhikr of Allah.
So don't waste this night and sit and do Dhikr of Allah. When you break the fast pray isha in congregation. After awakening, wake up for tahajjud pray 2 or 4 rakat and then join in with the morning Dhikr !
We have recited many durood shareef but
We cannot repay Allah for the favour of reciting one durood. It's not some small thing Allah has allowed us to do.
May Allah swt grant us the taufeeq to implement and help us depart from Ramadan as a Muttaqi. Ameen!
