How to Benefit from Ramadan (25) - Optimism and a Good Word

How to Benefit from Ramadan (25) - Optimism and a Good Word:

سَلَامٌ هِيَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ (5) 

5. Peace! (All that night, there is Peace and Goodness from Allah to His believing slaves) until the appearance of dawn.

Al-Islaam began with peace and a goodly word, however, a sign of a persons ignorance and misguidance is that they do not wish for goodness in words or deeds. When they are faced with the truth, they remain stubborn upon their falsehood and supplicate for punishment, as opposed to supplicating for Forgiveness and Mercy.

"And (remember) when they said: 'O Allah! If this (the Qur'an) is indeed the truth (revealed) from You, then rain down stones on us from the sky or bring on us a painful torment.'" (8:32)

-Shaykh 'Abdur-Rahmaan al-'Ajlaan, Teacher at al-Masjid al-Haram in Makkah
