PRE-RAMADAN 2024: A LETTER TO SELF

Algazelus's Letter To Self
4.March.2024 - Ramadan Day 0


Dearest Self,

Bismillah Al-Rahman Al-Rahim,

As the blessed month of Ramadan is fast approaching, I wanted to take this opportunity to share some reflections with my dear brothers and sisters. We are facing unprecedented times with many challenges and hardships, both on a personal and global scale. As we prepare for the holy month of Ramadan, I would like to remind ourselves of the true purpose and importance of this month.

First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge the struggles and difficulties that we are facing as a community. The inflation, job cuts and rising mental health issues are all real and valid concerns that have significantly impacted our lives. We have also lost loved ones and witnessed the suffering of our fellow Muslim brothers and sisters in places like Gaza. Understandably, we may feel overwhelmed and hopeless in the face of these struggles. But as believers, we must remember that Allah (SWT) is the All-Wise and He has a plan for each and every one of us. We must trust in His divine wisdom and have faith that these challenges are a test of our faith and perseverance.

During these tough times, we must also remember the blessings that we have been bestowed with. Alhamdulillah, we are born Muslim, and our faith and belief in Allah (SWT) gives us the strength and courage to face these struggles. We have a source of hope and guidance in the Quran and Sunnah, and during this month of Ramadan, we are given the opportunity to reconnect with our faith and strengthen our relationship with Allah (SWT). Let us not lose sight of His mercy and blessings, no matter how difficult the circumstances may be.


Moreover, let us not forget that life in this world is a test, and as believers, we have been promised that we will face trials and tribulations. The month of Ramadan serves as a reminder that our ultimate goal is Jannah, and this life is temporary. As we fast and abstain from worldly desires, may we also reflect on the true purpose of our existence – to worship and please Allah (SWT). Let us use this month to purify our souls and return to Allah (SWT) with sincerity and devotion.

One of the challenges we are facing is the deterioration of our faith and lack of connection with our Creator. Our negligence towards our religious obligations has led to many of the issues we are currently facing. This month of Ramadan is an opportunity for us to repent and seek forgiveness from Allah (SWT). Let us use this time to re-establish our relationship with Him through prayer, recitation of the Quran, and acts of charity. May this month serve as a rejuvenation of our faith and a reminder of our duties towards our Creator and the creation.

Finally, I would like to remind us all to have hope and not fear. Let us remember that Allah (SWT) is the Most Merciful and He loves those who turn to Him in repentance. This month of Ramadan is a time for us to seek His mercy and forgiveness, and it is never too late to turn back to Him. Let us enter this month with a positive mindset and strive to make the most of it. May we use this opportunity to become better versions of ourselves and strengthen our relationship with Allah (SWT).


With love and faith,

Your Soul

Forging meaningful relationships by building trust is essential for optimal communication with fellow Muslims in Allah's will.

Algazelus 06.10.23 Muslims around the world adhere to the same core values of faith in Allah, performing the pillars of Islam, and the belief in the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) teachings.

A Response to the recent acts of burning the Qur’an across parts of the world, most recently in Sweden

  A Response to the recent acts of burning the Qur’an across parts of the world, most recently in Sweden Over the many centuries since the dawn of Islam, the noble Qur’an, the sacred book and final revelation from Allah, has been held in the highest regard for Muslims the world over. Its significance, importance, and reverence can hardly be understated, the Qur’an is a source of guidance, strength, and hope, and one of the primary pillars of Islam. Therefore, the recent acts of burning the Qur’an across parts of the world, most recently in Sweden, are an affront to myself, my faith, and all believers of Islam. In my opinion, it is a curse on the entire world as it disregards and disrespects the divine revelation sent by Allah. To be clear, it is not only those who have taken part in such horrible blasphemy who are responsible for this sin. It is also the fault of those who stood by and watched the desecration without standing up or lifting a finger to protect the Qur’an. This lack of a
