LIFE IS A UNIVERSITY. RAMADHAN, ITS SHORT-COURSE DEGREE

...by Poetic Tee "Here, take a sip"

Assalam alaikum to you all.

The holy month of Ramadhan has commenced. Alhamdulillaah
We are all expected to live a month worth a life time.
At the end of which, each of us is suppose to earn his salvation.
And gain entry into the ultimate bliss, paradise in sha Allaah.
This life is like a degree course in a university.
You gain admission through being born of a mother, the blessed.
You run a course for 1, 2, 4 years or more to earn a qualification.
It might be a distinction, first class, second class upper or lower.
A third class or a pass is also available for "Da kyar na gudus..."
And some will definitely end up as failures. What a shame.
Then we will all pass out through a door. The inevitable death.

Ramadhan is like a short-course program to earn a college degrees.
It comes each year as a special offer to those who desire grace.
So, instead of spending 1-6 or 7 years to earn your certificate.
You spend only One Month within which to crash the course and pass.
Every single subject, core and elective as requirements are included.
Credit units necessary to make you a sound graduate are inclusive.
In fact, a very special class offers 83 years of schoolwork in a night.
To enable any serious minded student do it, all within that same month.
Sadly, many are not able to scale through and so are made to repeat it.
Year in, year out, the same anticipation of the opportunity is witnessed.
But when it comes, some even leave for vacation off the program venues.

Well, here we are, once again in the holy month of bliss, Sharu Ramadhan.
It's here with all its special offers, bonanzas, bonuses and unique benefits.
And we are physically, mentally and spiritually prepared to try out our lucks.
Perhaps, may be, just may be, this might be our last chance to ever make it.
Since nobody can guarantee tomorrow, thus another sitting to a Ramadhan.
"This is it" as the late Michael Jackson said. It's now or never, not forever.
If you can win this, you've won the race against time, running out on you fast.
One chance to earn it easy. Take advantage of it before it slips off.
Through hunger and thirst, denied ecstacies and wanton play and displays
With our minds over matter, we freely exercise full restrains.
Cleasing our withins and withouts, of physical as well as heart diseases.

Ramadhan is here, let me share with you some secrets of success.
Good intentions in every act is vital, crucial, consistency is the key.
Remember Allaah much, for Him devote yourself, the whole lot.
Recite the holy Quran much, to attain a high status in your class.
Stand in salat, the 5 obligatories daily and forget not your nawafils.
Abstain from unwanted speech. On games of vanity waste your time not.
Eat, drink, engage in mutual halal, in moderation from dusk to dawn.
Be not proud or arrogant walking the earth. To it you shall be reduced, remember?
Supplicate much for yourself, your own and the world at large, no loss.
Forget not to give in charity as much as you can spare, spare much please.
Forgive and forget, that Allah, our Lord, Infinite in Grace may do us same.

May we all be among the successful graduates by 1st of Shawwal, 1435 AH
