In the Name of Allah, The Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Dear noble brothers, let me address those who were not be able to observe Siyaam in Ramadan in a way that pleases Al-Wahid (The One), Ad-Daiyyan (the Judge), and let me say the following frankly: All months of the year are Ramadan(in the sense of receiving Allah's Mercy upon worshiping Him); Allah does exist, time is available to you, worship is easy, Munajat (talking to Allah secretly) can be made, the Quran is in your hands, and good deeds can be offered. So, if someone misses the opportunity to do good things in this sacred month due to a mistake, a misunderstanding, or difficult circumstances, he can do them after Ramadan. In other words, the one who falls short in this month can compensate later, and the one who does perfect things in it can keep doing them in all other months.
After all, your good relationship with Allah the Almighty should not be temporary; it should not be for a certain period of time, during a certain month only or at a certain day. Offering the acts of worship durning a particular period of time, and returning back to what you are used to be after it is over, should not be the case. On the contrary, all your moral gains should be sought continually by you, and this is the difference between Ramadan and after Ramadan. These worshiping gains are religious activities including performing good deeds, giving Sadaqah, reciting the Noble Quran, calling to Allah in a certain way and attending religious sessions.
Pay attention to the following Hadith, please:
(( (Abud Darda' reported Allah's Messenger as saying, "Would you like me to tell you the best and purest of your deeds in the estimation of your King, those which raise your degrees highest, those which are better for you than spending gold and silver, and are better for you than that you should meet your enemy and cut off one another's head?" They said, "What is it, O Allah's Messenger?" He said, "It is remembering Allah, Exalted and Sublime be He.") ))
Remembering Allah the Almighty embraces a variety of things, such as calling people to Allah, enjoining Ma'ruf (good deeds), refraining from Munkar (evil deeds and wrongdoings), listening to a religious lesson and so on. Allah the Almighty says:
﴾ (Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest.) ﴿
