Be A Servant of Allah All Year Long

We have spent a month of intensive worship of Allah. But this blessed month of Ramadan has ended with the sunrise of the first day of 'Eid Al-Fitr, and some people began to display signs of slackness in worship.

Upon the occurrence of such slackness, Satan feel so pleased and makes strenuous effort to incite us to sin, with the aim of making us frustrated and desperate. He want to make all the acts of worship we have performed during this month of no avail.

clipped from www.islamonline.net True Muslims should be constant in worship. [And indeed Iblis (Satan) proved true his thought about them, and they followed him, all except a group of true believers.] (Saba' 34:20) [And be not like her who unravels her yarn, disintegrating it into pieces after she has spun it strongly.] (An-Nahl 16:92) The Ummah is in need of young people who are steadfast in worship. Make sure to be keen on keeping the spirit of Ramadan on a constant basis. - Fast the six days of Shawwal. In this regard, Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was reported to have said,"Whosoever fasted during Ramadan and followed this with fasting six days from Shawwal, it is like fasting forever." (Muslim) [And those who give what they give [of good deeds] with hearts afraid because they are about to return unto their Lord.] (Al-Mu'minun 23:60) Some may assume that `Eid is the point when the faithful effort exerted during Ramadan should come to an end. However, the opposite is true.
