Insisting on performing a certain number of Rakaas during the Tarawih
(night) prayer tothe point of not praying behind the Imam and
thusforfeiting the benefit of congregational prayer. This might also
bring hatred and disagreement between the Muslims of one community.
Reading Qur'an too fast: Some insist on finishing the whole Qur'an
once or more, even if they have to read very fast. Although reading
the Qur'an many times is desirable, this should not be done
hastily,especially during the Tarawih prayer without pondering upon
its meaning. Allah ta'ala said:"This is a Book which We have sent down
to you, full of blessings that they may ponder over its verses," (Saad
38:29), and the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said:"Those who
read the Qur'an in less than three days do not grasp [its meaning]"
Socializing in l'tikaf: Manypeople are eager to do I'tikaf but some
confine themselves in the masjid not to pray and worship Allah but to
talk and socialize.
The ways of doing good are numerous in Ramadhan Many people try to
perform more than they are able to. By going beyond their
capabilities, they end up not performing any deed in the desired way.
Scholars and Dai'ahs should assume a more prominent role in educating
the people - both by talking to them and by giving the best example in
their behavior which should comply to the Shariah and following the
Sunnah.
The Muslim should realize that his priorities dictate that he does
what benefitshim in the Hereafter and should not put worldly interests
first.
The Muslim should apply himself to deepen his sense of following the
Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam, in every aspect of
his life, at all times and especially during the month of Ramadhan.
This necessitates seeking more knowledge about the Fiqh of fasting and
its etiquette,assimilating the wisdom and goals of fasting, and
facilitating the means that allow all the Muslims to benefit from
their fasting.
We ask Allah to accept our fast and our good deeds.
