The Last Ten Days of Ramadan: The Barakah (Blessings) are There for the Taking

Mai te peu e e mana'o tatou ia Ramadan i roto i te hoê aua i te pae varua, e i muri iho, na pô hoê ahuru i ma'iri a'e nei, o te mau pô ïa tei roto outou paatoa i te. Tei roto outou i te mau apoo o te haamoriraa – te fatata mai nei te hopea, e mea teitei roa râ te mau tĭtĭ. I roto i te haapaoraa Mahometa, these are the holiest nights of the matahiti taatoa. I like to imagine it’s like being on a game show in one of those clear tubes where cash is just raining down on you, e ua roaa ia oe te 60 Te mau mana'o tauturu no te rave i te rahiraa o te taime e ti'a ia outou ia rave.

The Barakah (te mau haamaitairaa) tei reira no te.

Mea au roa na ' u ia feruri ia Ramadan – e na po hoê ahuru i mairi a'enei iho â râ. E faarahihia te mau haamaitairaa i Ramadan na roto i te 70, but the reward for worshipping on Laylatul Qadr (te pô no te mana, i te taime a heheuhia mai ai te Quran i te peropheta (Te mau mana'o tauturu no te) is equal to doing that same action for about 83 te mau matahiti, e aore râ, 1,000 te mau ava'e.

Te fâ a Ramadan o te haapiiraa ïa i te haavî ia'na iho, to build our 2qwa and get as many rewards and blessings as we can (a imi atoa ai i te faaoreraa hara no ta tatou mau hara e ta tatou mau hara) – e i roto i te raveraa, patu i te hoê tu'atiraa puai a'e e te mana'o papû (S). A spiritual recharge. But in these last ten nights, te fâ, o te haamoriraa ïa i te Atua mai ta tatou i ore â i haamori na mua'tu, ia ti'aturi i te iteraa o Laylatul Qadr e ia faaorehia ta tatou mau hara atoa.

Allah (S) i roto i te Quran,

E mea maitai a'e te aru'i i te hoê tauasini ava'e. E pou mai te mau melahi e te Varua i reira na roto i te parau faati'a a to ratou Fatu no te mau mea atoa. E vai noa te hau e tae noa'tu i te taime e hiti mai ai te po'ipo'i. [Qur's an: 97:3-5]

A feruri na – mai te mea e pure oe i taua pô ra, mai te huru ra e, ua haamau'a oe i to oe taime 1,000 Mau ava'e i roto i te pure. Mai te mea e tai'o outou i te Quran i taua pô ra, mai te huru ra e, ua haamau'a oe i to oe taime 1,000 Te mau ava'e i muri mai i te tai'oraa i te Quran. Mai te mea e ani outou i te faaoreraa hara i taua pô ra, mai te huru ra e, ua haamau'a oe i to oe taime 1,000 Te aniraa i te Atua ia faaore mai i ta tatou mau hara! I teie nei, a feruri na e, e rave anei outou i te mau mea atoa e hau atu i taua pô ra? Abu Hurayrah narrates that the Prophet (S) te na ô ra:

" O vai te ti'a (i roto i te pure i te pô na roto i te pure o) Ramadan ma te faaroo e ma te ti'aturi i te utu'a maitai, e faaorehia ta'na mau hara matamua. E te taata e faaea i te pô o Laylat Al-Qadr na roto i te pure ma te faaroo e ma te ti'aturi i te haamauruururaa, e faaorehia ta'na mau hara na mua'tu ".

Teie te pô o te mana. Te pô e ti'a ai ia outou ia imi i te faaoreraa o ta outou mau hara atoa, te mea rahi e aore râ te mea na'ina'i. Te pô i reira e ti'a ai ia outou ia horo'a i to outou aau no te faaora (S) e ia ani, Te mau mana'o tauturu no te, no te mau mea atoa e te mau mea atoa ta outou e hinaaro. Noa'tu e aita tatou i ite eaha te mahana taa ê e tae mai ai te reira, ua ite tatou e, e topa te reira i roto i na pô hopea hoê ahuru o te Ramadan, Te mau mana'o tauturu no te (e ere râ i te) e pô huru ê.

Na roto i te papa'iraa i teie pou o vau ana'e, ua faaitoito te reira ia'u ia rave i te mea maitai roa a'e i roto i teie na pô hoê ahuru hopea o Ramadan. Ei metua vahine rave ohipa no te hoê tamarii rii e te hoê tamarii e hitu ava'e te paari, I haven’t been able to double up on my Te mau nota this month, e aita e fifi. I’ve come to terms with the fact that nurturing my little family uato'u hoa here. Ua ite au e, te ite nei te Atua i te mau aroraa atoa, and not everyone has the capacity to worship at the level of a young person in college with not many responsibilities or someone further advanced in their years, perhaps retired and free of the responsibilities of work and children.

There’s life, ohipa, utuafare, oto, health issues – all these things do not miraculously stop in Ramadan.

Knowing all that, I can’t help thinking, what about me? What about my spiritual health, my connection with God? That’s what Ramadan’s all about right? To reboot, disconnect and reconnect, ti'a? While I can’t make my daily obligations go away, and I end my days bone-tired, I feel the need and desire to make an extra effort to try and worship as much as I can (whatever that looks like) in these last ten nights. What are a few nights of the year, if it means building my connection with Allah (S), rebooting my spirituality and potentially gaining me forgiveness of my sins? How am I to go the rest of my year chugging along without anything to help me refresh?

I need this. We ALL need to be forgiven. E hinaaro tatou paatoa i te parau-ti'a (S)'Te aroha – maori râ e melahi mau outou e aore râ, e taata hara ore. Aita vau e hinaaro e parau i te parau teimaha, but in the midst of our online conversations about being understanding of everyone and everything, ua mo'e to tatou aravihi no te parau, “Aita, e ti'a ia outou ia pi'o i raro e ia rave noa i te reira. Tusia. Te huru â te huru. A rave itoito i te ohipa.”

Te hinaaro nei au i te reira. E hinaaro oe i te reira. As an Te mau mana'o tauturu no te, e hinaarohia te reira e tatou. E hi'o ana'e tatou i te mau (S) i roto i to tatou oraraa. Hoê ahuru pô i rapae i te matahiti taatoa, Te mau mana'o tauturu no te. E nehenehe ta tatou e rave i te reira.

Faahou â – eita te oraraa e faaea! Aita vau e parau nei e, a faaru'e i ta outou mau hopoi'a no na mahana hoê ahuru i muri nei. Te parau nei râ vau, a faaea i te rave i te ohipa. A rave hau atu â i ta outou e rave ra i teie nei. Mai te mea e, aitâ outou i pure a'e nei i te roaraa o te pô, get a few Te mau nota'i roto i te. Mai te mea e, aita â outou i tai'o i te hoê noa a'e Quran, tai'o i te tahi tau api i te pô. Mai te mea e, e nehenehe ta outou e haere i rapae, Te mau mana'o tauturu no te. Mai te mea e, aita e ti'a ia outou ia, i muri iho a haapapû i te rave i te tahi mea, anything.

Me 2011 (S) allow us all to witness Laylatul Qadr, and may He write us amongst those who are forgiven of all their sins. May he grant us all Jannah. Ameen.
