Huzoor began the sermon by reciting verses from the Holy #Quran which relate to the month of #Ramadan and the act of fasting, and he then....

Huzoor said that merely being alive during this holy month, or merely going through it, or merely doing only Suhoor and Iftaar, are not enough, and neither are these the purposes of #Ramadan. Its significance, in terms of spirituality,...

... runs much deeper than that. Good and righteous deeds, especially prayers, are most accepted by Allah in this month, and Huzoor also cited a verse of the Holy #Quran which mentions of Allah being near His servants and Him hearing our prayers.

Huzoor then presented passages...
... from the writings of the Promised Messiah, Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (peace be upon him) of Qadian, in which he wrote that people complain of Allah having not heard their prayers as if He´s under a some sort of obligation to do so. He stated that prayer is not merely the....
... act of the utterance of mindless and thoughtless words, but, instead, it´s a spiritual state which one experiences when he stands fully aware of his Creator. The acceptance of prayer has a direct correlation with one performing good deeds as well and being a firm believer....
... whose faith stands unshaken even during bad phases and calamitous events and happenings. He stated that a sign of repentance being true, and of it being accepted by Allah, is that such a person is blessed by Allah that he now performs virtuous deeds after being reformed....
... and shuns evil. Allah then grants His Nearness to such a person that the latter then becomes totally devoted to Allah and the world around him begins to kind of disappear from his view, so to speak. Allah accepts the prayers of such a person in miraculous ways as a result....
... of his dedication and devotion to his Creator. Such people, sometimes, even see true dreams and visions from Allah.

... a person who has blind faith in Islam merely because of being born to a Muslim family, and he doesn´t act on it in the true sense, his faith is of no use at all. ***Huzoor stated that this little passage is most relevant, given what the extremists are doing in #Pakistan....
... nowadays in the name of #Islam.***
Such people who entertain disappointment about the effect of prayers are ultimately, as a result of their disappointment, driven away from faith altogether as they then become deniers of Prophets in a sense and end up becoming Atheists.

#Islam in facts affords relief and hope for those who´re deeply lost in sin and evil, and the holy month of #Ramadan is the perfect opportunity to reform one´s self.

... person´s prayer if what he´s praying for is harmful for him, even if he doesn´t realise it at that time. Even a mother doesn´t fulfill absurd wishes of her beloved children. Yet, some people stubbornly pray that Allah should accept his prayer even if what he´s asking for...
... isn´t good for him. Also, there´re conditions relating to the acceptance of prayer, such as one´s own conduct and spiritual condition. Also, a person who prays for another person, it´s a must that the person who he´s praying for is deserving of the acceptance of the prayer.
A person who prays without having a good conduct to show isn´t praying but is, instead, testing Allah in a way. The Promised Messiah stated that Islam, in essence, is all about Taqwa (righteousness), and a person´s faith is nothing without it.
He stated that Allah´s Mercy is....
He stated that Allah´s Mercy is....
... of two kinds: one are the blessings of the physical needs, the other are the blessings which one receives through prayers through the spiritual connection developed by man with Allah.
Even performing good deeds isn´t possible without praying for them to Allah. One must pray.

Such people who say that there´s no use of crying and praying before Allah are wrong and don´t understand the depth of the concept of the relation between man and his Creator.
