Ramadhan has arrived, bringing with it a month filled with blessings, mercy, and forgiveness. This sacred month is an opportunity for us to purify our hearts, seek forgiveness, and strengthen our connection with Allah. Fasting has been made obligatory, and during this time, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell are firmly closed, and the devils are chained. Within this month lies the extraordinary night of Lailatul Qadr, a night that is greaterin virtue than a thousand months. It is a time for reflection, prayer, and deepening our faith.
As mentioned in the Qur’an:
َيا ُّي َها َأ ِذي َن َأ ي ُكُم ال آ َمُنوا ُكِت َب َّ ال ِّصَيا َكَما ُكِت َب ى ُم َعلَ َعل ِذي َن َ ْبلِ ُكْم ال ِمن َّ َعلَّ ُكْم قَ ل و َن َ َتَّتقُ
(Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:183)
The importance of Ramadhan is not just in abstaining from food and drink, but in achieving taqwa (God-consciousness), improving our character, and helping those in need. Fasting
teaches patience, humility, and empathy for the less fortunate, reminding us of our duty to care for others and to give generously in charity.
May we all embrace the blessings of Ramadhan, striving for spiritual growth, and drawing closer to the path of righteousness. Let us not miss out on the immense rewards this month has to offer.
— HR Ahmad, Sahih
