As Rabi’ul Awwal closes its curtains on us, we contemplate on its lessons and the fruits of our efforts from that month. The word “Rabi'” in arabic means Spring; the season in which flowers bloom, the season of growth and renewal. As we move forward now, we ask ourselves: Have the recent Rabi’ impacted me in any way? Did I see any growth in my love for Rasulullah sallAllahu ‘alaihi wasallam? The Salawat I did, the Seerah I read, the gatherings I attended in remembrance of his birth.. Have my heart felt the change? Is this love mirroring in my actions now? Am I a better follower of Rasulullah sallAllahu ‘alaihi wasallam today..?

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet ﷺ said: Allah Almighty ﷻ says: I am as My servant expects of Me and I am with him as he remembers Me. If he remembers Me in himself, I will remember him in Myself. If he mentions Me in a gathering, I will mention him in a greater gathering. When he draws near Me by the span of his hand, I draw near him by the length of a cubit. When he draws near Me by the length of a cubit, I draw near him by the length of a fathom. When he comes to Me walking, I come to him running. (Bukhari, Muslim)
