Abdul Azeez bin Baz (may Allah rest him in paradise)1420 H

ııı: ıı ıııı ııı ıı ıııııı ıııı ııı ıı ııııı



Question:  There is a saying which goesı The people who only know Allah in Ramadan will not be successful.ı Is this a hadeeth?

Answer:  This is a saying from some of the pious predecessors about people who worship Allah attentively in Ramadan. And when Ramadan finishes they stop. Therefore he said,ı How miserable is the person who only knows Allah during Ramadan.ı This statement is correct for the person that abandons obligations (outside of Ramadan). This saying doesnıt refer to the person who doesnıt continue to practice the sunnan acts outside of Ramadan.

This is a correct statement. The intended meaning here refers to people who practice Allahıs rights temporarily. They pray in Ramadan and in the other eleven months of the year they donıt. This  kind of person is pitiful; as he disbelieves in Allah with these kinds of actions. To willfully abandon the prayer is disbelief. We ask Allah for pardon.

Now on the other hand to stop practicing some of the recommended deeds outside of Ramadan is harmless. This is because during Ramadan people strive with their upmost ability to perform various sunnan acts of worship along with voluntary contributions and so forth. Hence if he falls short in doing these acts after Ramadan we donıt consider him a wretched person.
