The last days of Ramadan.

The are afew days left in the holy month of Ramadan 1434H. These last 10 days are special for the Night of Power resides in the odd days.... And many muslims seek this night. Yet, the aura of Lailatul Qadr , is one which we all have within , when we allow ourselves to feel and be awakened... This Islamic charisma exudes from our pores, when we as mukminin, who love Allah Subhana wa Ta'ala and Rasulallah salallahu alaih wa alih wa shobihi wassalam, adhere to an Islamic way of life and refine our characters to what is expected. This Night of Power, auspicious for all muslims, is a great Night, when we feel the angels descend, sending salaam to all mukminin, engrossed in devotions. But not only this one night do they traverse the earth, but all through the Holy month, and on the nights of all other months, when they seek, the mukminin in their night devotions. 
But more so in the Holy month of Ramadan and most definitely more on the Night of Qadr. The night of power and destiny. And the great angel , Jibril alaihi salam, descends as well. 
Through mankind's history, from the first man created, Adam alaihisalam, Allah SwT, has never left us without guidance. Allah SwT, sent us guidance in parts, from the first holy book to the last. Unfortunately, the previous holy books were changed, and innovations created within the system of monotheistic worship that finally Islam was sent , to reconfirm all the guidance sent previously. Why did we need so much reminding? It is because we forgot along the way.... Allah SwT Most Merciful, has always given us the benefit of the doubt, and trust that with constant reminders, we would fulfill our obligations towards the Creator. This holy month of Ramadan, reminds us every year, and reminds others who still disbelieve , about the last reminder Allah SwT has sent to mankind. The last book, the last and seal of Prophets and the last chance to accept that Allah Is one and Muhammad is His Messenger. 
If we could hear the angels' conversation, their salaams , and if we could see when Ramadan is approaching, how Ramadan is as a mother figure, fine and delicate, filled with light, waiting at the gates of Heaven, to descend, following her is a massive book, carried by multitudes of glorious angels, with a beam of luminous light shining from it to above infinite... If we could place our imagination to see this sight, we would never want to let Ramadan leave, never let a day go by without reciting the blessed book and we would never allow a single day go by, without illuminating what each Ramadan leaves as gifts for the ummah, which is all the goodness we accumulated during every day fasting and guarding ourselves against anything Allah SwT displeases. 
May we all have the blessings of hikmah, hidayah and taufiq; gain forgiveness and mercy of Allah SwT and be gathered with those Allah SwT loves. Amiin.
