In the context of Islam, it means to turn or to retreat from past sinful and evil activities, and to firmly resolve to abstain from them in future. In Quran 66:8, the word tawba has been associated with the word نصوح (nasūh) which means "to make pure or sincere".

Being steadfast in Islam means to be firm and constant in one's faith, fulfilling religious obligations, and avoiding prohibitions until death. This requires adhering to the "straight path" of Islam through consistent good deeds, patience during trials, and a deep commitment to Allah's commands. A person can build steadfastness by turning to the Quran, making supplications, remembering Allah, and staying connected with supportive communities.

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah.

The Shi’ah have many sects. Some of them are kaafirs who worship ‘Ali and call upon him, and they worship Faatimah, al-Husayn and others. Some of them say that Jibreel (peace be upon him) betrayed the trust and the Prophethood belonged to ‘Ali, not to Muhammad. There are also others among them, such as the Imamiyyah – the Raafidi Ithna ‘Ashari – who worship ‘Ali and say that their imams are better than the angels and Prophets.

There are many groups among them; some are kaafirs and some are not kaafirs. The mildest among them are those who say that ‘Ali was better than the three (Abu Bakr, ‘Umar and ‘Uthmaan). The one who says this is not a kaafir but he is mistaken, because ‘Ali was the fourth, and Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq, ‘Umar and ‘Uthmaan were better than him. If a person prefers him over them then he is erring and is going against the consensus of the Sahaabah, but he is not a kaafir. The Shi’ah are of different levels and types. The one who wants to know more about that may refer to the books of the scholars, such as al-Khutoot al-‘Areedah by Muhibb al-Deen al-Khateeb [available in English under the same title, translated by Abu Ameenah Bilaal Philips], Manhaaj al-Sunnah by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah, and other books that have been written on this topic, such as al-Shi’ah wa’l-Sunnah by Ihsaan Ilaahi Zaheer [also available in English translation] and many other books which explain their errors and evils – we ask Allah to keep us safe and sound.

Among the most evil of them are the Imamis, Ithna ‘Asharis and Nusayris, who are called al-Raafidah because they rejected (rafadu) Zayd ibn ‘Ali when he refused to disavow the two Shaykhs Abu Bakr and ‘Umar, so they went against him and rejected him. Not everyone who claims to be a Muslim can be accepted as such. If a person claims to be a Muslim, his claim should be examined. The one who worships Allah alone and believes in His Messenger, and follows that which he brought, is a real Muslim. If a person claims to be a Muslim but he worships Faatimah or al-Badawi or al-‘Aydaroos or anyone else, then he is not a Muslim. We ask Allah to keep us safe and sound. Similarly, anyone who reviles the faith, or does not pray, even if he says that he is a Muslim, is not a Muslim. The same applies to anyone who mocks the faith or mocks the prayer or zakaah or fasting or Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), or who disbelieves in him, or says that he was ignorant or that he did not convey the message in full or convey the message clearly. All such people are kaafirs. We ask Allah to keep us safe and sound.

Reward:

A hadith (saying of the Prophet Muhammad) states: "Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days of Shawwal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime".
Gratitude and Charity:
Fasting in Shawwal is also seen as a way of expressing gratitude to Allah (God) for the blessings of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, encouraging believers to continue the spirit of gratitude and giving even after Ramadan ends.

A timely reminder!

Tabarruj refers to the act of a woman beautifying or displaying herself to attract attention, often in a way that is considered immodest or tempting. In Islam, women are encouraged to maintain modesty and humility, especially during religious celebrations like Eid.

The reminder is cautioning sisters to avoid being a source of fitnah (temptation or trial) during the Eid celebration, which marks the end of Ramadan. It's essential to prioritize modesty, humility, and adherence to Islamic values, even during joyful occasions.

May Allah guide us all to maintain our dignity and faith during Ramadan and beyond!
