In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Al-Allamah Rabee Bin Hadi Al-Mad’khali, may Allah preserve him, stated:

Read about the pious predecessors, their striving, patience, sincerity to Allah, and their diligence in this month (i.e. Ramadan) and other than it. We should not (only) remember (Allah) during this sacred month, then forget and abandon obedience throughout the year. We should continue worshipping Allah, engage in night prayers, turn to Allah, and perform all the acts of obedience through which we seek to draw us closer to Allah in Ramadan. While some individuals may exhibit obedience during Ramadan, they falter, become lazy, and forget many acts of obedience. Undoubtedly we give more importance to this month than others, but it is obligatory to remember Allah consistently throughout the year and our lives.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا ذْكُرُوا لللَّهَ ذِكْرًا كَثِيرًا وَسَبِّحُوهُ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا

O you who believe! Remember Allah with much remembrance. And glorify His Praises morning and afternoon [the early morning (Fajr) and ‘Asr prayers]. [Surah Al-Ahzaab. 41-42]

The believer always remembers Allah – The Blessed and Most High – and obeys Him, fears Him, and pays closer attention to the fact that Allah sees, hears, and knows everything about Him in all hours of his life.

[Al-Majmoo 15/338-339]
