Holy Month of Ramadan 1444 AH (2023) "Remembrance of Almighty Allah between us"

Ramadan is a blessed time in which we can draw closer to Allah and to our faith through our understanding of the Quranic teachings, our commitment to doing what is right, and our deep appreciation of Allah’s mercy.


The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has encouraged his followers to be mindful of Allah’s blessing on this month. In the Holy Quran, it is written: “O you who believe, fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, so that you may learn self-restraint.” (2:183). Ramadan is not only a period for contemplation and reflection, but it is also a great time to deepen our love and understanding for Allah and for His mercy. As Muslims, we must strive to understand how Allah’s mercy and blessing can be manifested through fasting and obeying God’s commands.



More significantly, Ramadan is a month of guidance for humanity and it is a period when Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and his followers preached about the Qur'an and practiced their devotion to Allah. The understanding of this great book should help us to become more aware of the importance of doing what is right and of avoiding what is wrong. When we keep our minds and our heart engaged in the practices of God and His commandments, we will be able to benefit from the blessings that Allah is offering to us. We will be able to draw strength and courage from the example of the Prophet (SAW) and will be better able to spread the message of Islam to those around us in a positive and sincere manner.

Through our increased understanding of the Quran, generous hospitality, and strong relationships with those around us, we can manifest the love of Allah in our lives. We can also benefit from all the spiritual blessings this month has to offer.

Moreover, Ramadan is a time when our prayers are more greatly answered. This is because Allah is more merciful during Ramadan and his response to our supplication is more sincere. Therefore, we should not take for granted this time of Allah’s mercy; instead, we should fully and actively participate in this month by dedicating our time to prayers, reciting the Quran, and doing acts of worship.

We should also use this month to become more hospitable and accommodating to others. As Ramadan reminds us of the importance of performing good deeds, we must be sure to show kindness to those who may be struggling during this month, such as orphans or the sick and the needy. Similarly, Ramadan is a good time to strengthen our bond with family and friends, treating each other with love and respect.

In conclusion, Ramadan is a month of immense blessings for humanity and a great reason for us to strengthen and deepen our devotion to Allah. Therefore, we should use this month to our utmost benefit, by praying more regularly, reading the Quran, performing good deeds, and being kind to others. In doing so, we can avail ourselves of Allah’s immense blessings and reap the rewards of entering this sacred month with an open mind and a sincere heart.

ON A JOURNEY WITH IMAM AL-ALGHAZALI: "The greatest lessons that I have learned is the importance of self-respect"

As a Muslim on a journey,  as taught by the renowned scholar and philosopher, Imam Al-Ghazali. T he greatest lesson is the importance of self-respect. Algazelus In today's fast-paced and competitive world, it is quite common for people to compromise their self-respect in order to fit in or please others. We often hold on to relationships and situations that are toxic, simply because we fear being alone or rejected by society. However, as Muslims, we are taught to have complete trust and reliance in Allah, and this includes having self-respect. Imam Al-Ghazali, also known as Hujjat al-Islam, was a renowned Islamic theologian and philosopher who emphasized the importance of self-respect in one's journey towards self-discovery and enlightenment. He believed that true self-respect comes from recognizing one's own worth and value, not from seeking validation from others. This is beautifully stated in his famous quote, 'Let go of your attachment to the world, for the love of ...
