“On the Day their tongues, hands, and feet will testify against them for what they used to do.” (Qur’an 24:24)
﷽
Ramadan Day 19: Control this beast (the tongue).
Replace the filth we say by the remembrance of Allah (swt). The remembrance of Allah (swt) sweetens the tongue from the filth of backbiting, lying, idle talk.
19th of Ramadan

*Heart Illness: The Eyes*
˹O Prophet!˺ Tell the believing men to lower their gaze and guard their chastity.” (Qur’an 24:30)
Allah has created the eye for the sake of contemplation in the creation of Allah, and looking at what Allah has allowed. However, it can be an entrance for the devil, and a path for corrupting the heart. The misuse of the blessings of vision should not be underestimated.
Looking at women lustfully is an arrow from the arrows of Iblis. Whoever leaves it for the sake of Allah, Allah will give him the sweetness of Iman.
When The Blessed Prophet (saw) was asked about unexpected look, he commanded us to lower the gaze. So the first glimpse is for you and the second is against you.
It was narrated that ‘Ali said:
The Messenger of Allah (saw) said to me: “Do not follow one glance with another; you may be allowed the first but not the second.

From the benefits of lowering the gaze:
Strengthening the heart
Repels the Muslim from following desires
and many other benefits,. May Allah guide us and all Muslims to follow his commands and avoid the seduction of Satan.
As the poet said. First a look, then a glance then a nod of the head, then a kiss, then an embrace then the warmth of the bed and soon the fire.
*Faith and what it Entails*
“The ˹true˺ believers are only those whose hearts tremble at the remembrance of Allah, whose faith increases when His revelations are recited to them, and who put their trust in their Lord.” (Qur’an 8:2)
Iman is to believe, and in the Islamic Shari’a Iman is believing in the unknowns that came with the messages of Allah, and the origins of Iman are collected in the Hadith of Gabriel (as) “It’s to believe in Allah, his angles, his books, his messengers, the day of judgment and destiny.”

Our faith is saying and acting. So after saying the Shahadah, you have to confirm it with deeds. Starting with obligations and to Nafilas when you can.
The sentence of monotheism has a doctrinal and practical interpretation. We have looked at the doctrinal interpretation from the beginning of Ramadan which includes: Allah and his attributes, prophets, angles, hell, paradise, Qur’an…etc
but know we will get into the practical interpretation of faith with topics such as: the fundamentals of the religion, the pillars of the religion, the stages of the religion, sorting the religion, the protection of the religion and guardianship and dissociation…etc
May Allah grant us success to do what he pleases.
*What the Imam carries for the followers*
There are things that the Imam carries for the Ma’moom (follower):
1. Reading the verses after Al Fatiha, so when the Imam recites the verses after Fatiha the followers should just listen and they don’t have to recite by their own nor repeat after the Imam.
2. Saying “Sami’al lahu liman hamidah” while standing from Ruku’, the followers should only say “Rabbana walakal hamd” after standing from Ruku’.
3. Sahu (inattention in prayer) because the heart may get busy with other than the prayer sometimes. May Allah protect us.
