Ramadan Mubarak in advance!

Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e. is present at his home), he must observe Sawm (fasts) that month, and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Sawm (fasts) must be made up] from other days. Allah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you. (He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allah [i.e. to say Takbeer (Allahu Akbar: Allah is the Most Great)] for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him.”

[al-Baqarah 2:185]

This blessed month is a great opportunity for goodness, barakah (blessing), worship and obedience towards Allah.

It is a great month, a noble season, a month in which hasanaat (rewards for good deeds) are multiplied and in which committing sayi’aat (bad deeds) is more serious than at other times. The gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are shut, and the sinners’ repentance to Allah is accepted.

In essence, in Ramadan, we uphold the five pillars of Islam with renewed dedication: we fast, pray, recite the Quran, give charity, and reflect.

Fasting during Ramadan offers a multitude of benefits, enriching us spiritually, physically, and mentally. As we abstain from food and drink, we nourish our souls, cleanse our bodies, and strengthen our minds.

Ramadan holds profound historical significance, marking the revelation of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

The virtues of Ramadan are manifold, as emphasized in the hadiths and teachings of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). As we anticipate the arrival of Ramadan, let us set intentions and goals to make the most of this sacred time.

May our preparations be filled with sincerity, reflection, and anticipation for the blessings ahead.

May Almighty Allah make it easy for every Muslim's
