Ibrahim<\/a> 14:22)<\/p>\nAnd so there are some who will allow Satan to reign over them. But there are others over which Satan has no power. Addressing Satan, Allah says:<\/p>\n
Indeed, My servants \u2013 no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators. <\/strong>(Al-Hijr 15:42)<\/p>\nBut how do we become among Allah’s servants, over which Satan has no authority? How do we continue the spirit of Ramadan for the entire year, and throughout our lives?<\/p>\n
The following are some ways:<\/p>\n
1. Guard your prayers.<\/strong>\u00a0During Ramadan, many of us make sure to pray every prayer on time \u2014 often at the\u00a0mosque. Continue to guard your prayers, because surely they will guard you. Allah says in the Qur’an:<\/p>\nIndeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah knows that which you do. <\/strong>(Al-`Ankabut 29:45)<\/p>\n2. Remember Allah by staying close to the Qur’an.<\/strong>\u00a0During Ramadan, many of us spend our nights and days reading Qur’an. Remembering Allah by staying close to the Qur’an everyday will protect you from Satan and keep your heart polished. Allah’s Messenger\u00a0 (peace be upon him) said: “There is a polish for everything that takes away rust; and the polish for the heart is the remembrance of Allah” (Al-Bukhari). The Prophet has also said: “Read the Qur’an, for verily it will come on the Day of Judgment as an intercessor for its companions.” (Muslim)<\/p>\n3. Think more and talk less.<\/strong>\u00a0The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Sometimes a person says a thing which pleases Allah, and in return Allah raises his status; and sometimes a person says something which displeases Allah, and it takes him to hell.” (Al-Bukhari)<\/p>\nIbrahim an-Nakh`i, a pious predecessor, once said: “Whoever reflects will find that the noblest and most dignified person of every gathering is the one who is most silent, because silence beautifies the scholar and conceals the faults of the ignorant.”<\/p>\n
4. Repent often.<\/strong>\u00a0Many of us seek forgiveness from Allah during Ramadan, but abandon this practice once Ramadan is over. Keep in mind that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to repent to Allah a hundred times every single day. Repenting often keeps our hearts clean and always connected to Allah.<\/p>\nA dear colleague of mine said that with the passing of Ramadan one feels as though they have lost a relative. Indeed. But in our grief, let its passing not be in vain.<\/p>\n
