Ramadan: More Worshippers, Don't Discourage Them

Ramadan: More Worshippers… Don’t Discourage Them!
Alhamdulillaah wasalaatu wasalaam
Among the distinct features of the month of Ramadan is that our souls will be easily inclined to worship, hence, more believers attend congregational prayers compared to the number before Ramadan – Alhamdulillah! This is an opportunity to encourage people to continue such practices after Ramadan especially those that don’t observe Salat before. The saying “We see you today, waiting happen?” or such a statement is not the Sunnah of my Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasalam.
‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud radiyallahu ‘anih narrated that the Messenger of Allah salallahu ‘alayhi wasalam said: “Those who go to extremes are doomed.” He said it three times. Muslim 2670. The meaning of this hadith include exaggerated and affected speech trying to attract people’s attention, with no meaning or benefit. Hence, overburdening and being too strict in matters where strictness is inappropriate is not Islamic. And those who go to extremes in speech are those who speak in an affected manner – An Nihaayah 5/164. Don’t affect worshipers or repentant with your manner.
