Ramadan is the month of fasting, standing, generosity, self-evaluation, patience and the Qur’aan. Indeed there are many groups and paths regarding the month of Ramadan. Let’s see which group we belong to.
The first group: is a group that sees Ramadan as a time of restrictions and preventions; a time of prohibitions from desires and lust. They do not comprehend the benefits of Ramadan. You will find them lazy and tired. They fast with great difficulties while continuing in backbiting, lying and other sins. They see the fast as nothing more than an obstacle in front of their desires.
As for the second group: it is a group that sees the month of Ramadan as a month of food and drink. Most of their time is consumed going and coming from the grocery store purchasing food for themselves, families and guests. Ramadan doesn’t increase them except in appetite. We know that consuming lots of foods will cause fatigue and laziness. The worst thing that the sons of Adam can fill is their stomachs. In addition, some from amongst them actually gain weight in Ramadan.
As for the third group: they know nothing of Ramadan except that it is obligatory. Neither the days nor the nights are spent in worship rather they might not even perform the five daily prayers. They awaken with Allah’s displeasure and sleep with Allah’s displeasure.
As for the fourth group: it is a group who does not know Allah except and until the month of Ramadan. They attend the Jumu’ah prayer, frequent the Masjid and the women wear the hijaab for the duration of Ramadan. And when the month is over all of those good deeds come to end, that is until the next Ramadan.
As for the fifth group: this group is a group who can not wait for the arrival of Ramadan. And when it comes they roll up their sleeves even more and they work as hard as they can. This month rejuvenates and strengthens them.

Insha Allah ta'aala we should all belong to this group. May Allah strenghen our iman!

Inshaallah I'm part of the 5th group, i love ramadan its a wonderful time to remember Allah and pray, be with muslims and soak up the barakah inshaallah.
also i find it easier to learn new surahs and dua in ramadan probably because the shaitan are in chains,
inshaallah Allah will keep us alive to benefit from ramadan and accept our deeds and increase our imman.
Insha Allah ta'aala we should all belong to this group. May Allah strenghen our iman!
Jazakallahu Khayr for the post.
Ameen
“If you punish, then punish with the like of that wherewith you were afflicted. But if you endure patiently, indeed it is better for the patient. Endure you patiently. Your patience is not except through the help of Allah." (al-Nahl 16:126-127)

O Allah Wash away my sins with the water of snow and hail, and cleanse my heart from sin as a white garment is cleansed from filth, and put a great distance between me and my sins, as great as the distance You have made between the East and the West.”

Inshaa Allah ... One day I will be part of the 5th group but for now I can't say that I belong to any of them as this is the first Ramadan for me. All I know is that I was excited for it to come because I remember all my friends celebrating it last year. I am enjoying it so much and will be looking for it to arrive for many years to come.
