Day 1: The Beginning of Our Spiritual Journey

Algazelus's Letter To Self
12.March.2024 Ramadan Day 1

Assalamu alaykum Dear self,

As the crescent moon appears in the sky, it marks the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan. A month that holds a special place in the hearts of Muslims all around the world. It is a time of spiritual rejuvenation, self-reflection, and self-improvement. As we embark on this month-long journey, I want to take some time to reflect on 30 aspects of life that we can improve during this blessed time.

Ramadan is not just about abstaining from food and water; it is much more than that. It is a month of transformation, a month to better ourselves and become closer to Allah. It is an opportunity to reach out to our inner selves and reflect on our purpose in life. So, dear self, let us make the most of this month and focus on these aspects to emerge as better individuals.

Day 1 of Ramadan is the beginning of our spiritual journey. It is the day to strengthen our faith and reconnect with our beliefs. This month reminds us to pause and reflect on our connection with Allah. Let us take this opportunity to increase our knowledge of Islam. Let us dive deeper into the teachings of the Quran and understand its meaning. It is the month of the Quran, and we must read and reflect on its verses.

In addition to reading the Quran, let us also engage in acts of worship such as prayer, dua, and charity. Praying Taraweeh prayers at night is a beautiful way to connect with Allah and seek forgiveness for our sins. Let us not forget the power of dua, a direct connection with Allah, where we can ask for our desires and seek guidance. Moreover, Ramadan is also a time to be charitable and give back to those in need. Let us remember to be kind and generous towards our fellow brothers and sisters.

Dear self, as we focus on strengthening our relationship with Allah in the first few days of Ramadan, let us also work on strengthening our relationship with our family and friends. Ramadan is a month of togetherness and community, and what better way to reflect this than by strengthening the bonds with our loved ones? Let us reach out to our family and friends, forgive any misunderstandings, and strengthen our relationships.




Furthermore, let us also focus on self-improvement during this month. Ramadan is an opportunity to break old habits, form new ones and become better versions of ourselves. Prioritize self-care this month, both physically and mentally. Let us make healthy food choices, stay hydrated, and get enough rest. Additionally, let us also work on our character. Let us strive to be more patient, kind, and compassionate towards others, just as our Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was.

Dear self, let us make the most of these 30 days and emerge as better individuals. Let us remember to strengthen our faith, reconnect with loved ones, and focus on self-improvement. May Allah accept our prayers and bless us with the countless rewards of Ramadan.

Ramadan Mubarak dear self!

Love,

Your soul

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 ...
