Ramadan : Opportunity for Self Purification
#ProductiveRamadanTip :
▪ As Humans we tend to make mistakes and commit sins which corrupts our Heart & Soul.
▪ Ramadan is month of purification of souls. It provides an environment to help us purify ourselves and develop ourselves for the purpose to please Allah and attain paradise.
Allah Swt Linked One's Success with Purification of His/Her Soul :
قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
"He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself"
(Surah Al-A'la, Ayah 14)
قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا
وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا
"Truly he succeeds that purifies it,
And he fails that corrupts it!"
(Surah Ash-Shams, Ayah 9,10)
1》 ▪ To achieve Tazkiya and development of Oneself, i found an Amazing book "In the Early hours : Reflections on spiritual and self development" by Khurram murad(R.A) which guides us in the light of Quran and Sunnah to attain this purpose.
▪ Khurram murad(R.A) says in this book :
"You must begin to appreciate every moment of your life and always strive to make the best use of it. With all the demands of worldly life on your time, you will yet need to find time for self-development and maximise its potential. The better route towards self-development is, of course,to integrate all your efforts into a structured daily life."

▪Imam-al-Ghazali's Advice:
"You should structure your time, arrange your regular devotions and assign to each function a set period of time during which it is given first priority but which it does not overstep.
For if you abandon yourself to neglect and purposelessness, as cattle do, and just do anything that may occur to you at any time it happens to occur to you, most of your time will be wasted. Your time is your life, and your life is your capital; it is the basis of your transactions [with God], and the means to attain to everlasting felicity, in the proximity of God the Exalted. Each of your breaths is a priceless jewel, and when it passes away it never returns."
