Be Honest in Your Life

Honesty is the best policy, it is a famous saying, and it really works. This characteristic is very valuable for our whole lives, individual, collective, and national. To make our lives go from good to best, honesty is a crucial factor, the key to success.

Honesty is a way or path, that is based on reality, truth, and facts. It is safe, respectable, and straight, and it guarantees success. Honest people are always confident, and brave, and feel free and happy.

It is a very vast term and covers our whole lives and matters. First of all, we must be honest with ourselves. We must be aware of our grey and bright areas, our circumstances, our boundaries and limits, and our required behavior. Our self-perception must be right and based on reality. In this way, we can lead a successful life by choosing positive directions for us and making practical and good decisions.

On the second level, we must be sincere with our related people, including our family members, our friends, co-workers, nneighbors,and other community fellows. We must do what is in the interest of our own and in the favour of all others. With a collective mindset, we can do better as compare to only an individual approach.

On a higher level, we can do something that can be only in the favor of our country and nation. At this stage, we forget our- selves, and the benefit of our relatives and loved ones and think only for others and our people and nation. At this stage, we serve on a very superior level, and forget all other relatively minor ones.

We can find these types of examples all around us, in the case of heavenly people, religious leaders, and national leaders. We see in the history of the world, so many people like that. All profits are the perfect examples of these people, like Hazrat Mohammad PBUH, Hazrat Abraham, the Jesses, and many more. They lead their whole lives for the sake of the guidance of their people. They have to face a lot of unbearable hardships in this way.

Then we see some examples in other people as well, like Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., Yasir Arafat. They devoted their lives for the sake of their people in a very positive way. They changed the history and the luck of their people, by sacrificing their own personal lives. These are all the saviors of mankind.

Eid is a celebration of happiness after passing a full month of fasting and other related sacred acts of worship. This celebration under divine guidance can give us true happiness and can lead towards a life that can make it from good to best. It is the secret of a successful life. 

Then it is legitimate and desirable to celebrate this day with happiness, by dressing up in good clothes, eating good food and by meeting other loved ones wholeheartedly. With all these happy activities, we must share our delight with those who don’t have enough resources. This may give us a deep sense of satisfaction and happiness.

In all these celebrations, one thing that is of key importance is balance. Extravagance in making dresses, and making so many dishes is not commendable. In this way, we will waste a lot of valuable money, in a couple of days which can suffice a lot of needy people. 

Eid is in fact an inevitable part of Ramadan and is a continuation of it. At the end of the month of self-control, sacrifice and care for people in need, we celebrate our Eid with these. 

It is a day of happiness in a global sense. We can share our dresses and food on this special occasion with those who cannot afford it. In this way, we can really make it a day of happiness in its true sense. If we take care of some people in our circle, by doing in the same way, we can spread these feelings in a global way, which is required. 

One very important point regarding Ramadan and Eid is that we must try our best to continue all these spiritual activities, for the whole year. It is human nature that usually we may forget them gradually but our total effort is desirable in this way.

We must train our children to practice this routine along with us to continue this in future. When we do practice it, our children will definitely learn and will automatically continue in their lives in future. In this way, we may create a society with good habits, which is required from us.

Passing Ramadan in a Good Way

Ramadan is like a refresher course for teachings of Islamic teachings. We have to continue these good practices after this Holly month. If we enjoy these practices and offer them wholeheartedly, we will become habitual of these practices. These will lead towards a life full of blessings for us and goodness around us.

In Ramadan we must offer our prayers and namaz-e-Taraweeh especially, reciting Quran and doing other virtues. This can give not only a deep sense of spiritual feelings but also satisfaction. In this month, we decrease our physical diet and increase our spiritual diet. This may lead towards a positive direction.

The other aspect of Ramadan is to feel for those who don’t have enough necessities. We can help them through zakat or we can share our Aftaari with them in a respectable way and help them out.  In this way we can have the true essence of Ramadan.  

If we have a Ramadan, without these main requirements, we are not offering fasts in their true sense. So, we must take care of its spiritual aspect as well along with physical ones. 

Ramadan is not only good for our spiritual health but for our physical health too. When there is a long gap between our two meals, it helps in the process of digestion in a better way. The fats stored in our body can be melted and used during this long gap. In this way, we can control some heart issues and digestion problems.      Ramadan can improve our body function and fitness in a very good way. 

During Ramadan, we are in a better position to feel the condition of needy people. This condition may prepare us to help those people, who have less sources of income. We can give our zakat, we can give fitrana. In this way, we can improve our society as well.

If we lead Ramadan in a good way, we can change our lives in a positive way. This good change in our daily life can improve our whole life. This continuous betterment is the aim of Islamic teachings.
