There is no other time to purify your soul than now. Almighty Allah has offered us another opportunity to be alive to witness another glorious month, Ramadan. Alhamdullilah. Not all those who prayed for it got it. Within the last twelve months, innumerable souls have gone to the great beyound, so many who had wished and prepared for the month even some hours ago could not have the grace to witness it.

Greetings and welcome O month of Ramadan, welcome O month of the Qur’an, month of light, month of repentance and return. Welcome O month of invocation and standing in supplication, month of the poor and the weak, month of victory, success and glorification. O month of forgiveness, O month of breaking of fast and You are welcome.
