Before the month slips through your fingers… Before the nights fade… Before your name is written among those who witnessed it but did not change…
Turn back to Him.
Allah is not waiting to punish you. He is waiting for you to return.
He says:
“O My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins.” (Qur’an 39:53)
Ramadan is not just about fasting from food. It is about fasting from sin. It is about softening a heart that has hardened. It is about tears in the quiet of the night when no one sees you but Allah.
Repent sincerely. Not just with your tongue — but with your heart. Feel regret. Stop the sin. Make a firm intention never to return. And if it involved someone else, make it right.
Do not delay tawbah. We plan for Eid. But none of us are guaranteed tomorrow.
Perhaps this Ramadan is your return. Perhaps this Ramadan is your rescue. Perhaps this Ramadan is your last.
So say: Ya Allah, I am weak. Forgive me. Clean my heart. Bring me back to You.
And know — He loves when His servant comes back.
May Allah accept our repentance, purify our hearts, and make this Ramadan the beginning of a new life for us. Ameen.
