Ramadan is one of the major blessings of Allah to mankind. In it there is lailatul-Qadr, a night better than 1000 months of worship. During this night, Quran was sent to Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.). A powerful night that can alter destinies in a jiffy. A night that Allah can wipe off all sins of the […]

As we strive to advance our spiritual heights, get closer to Allah than ever before, more especially as we step up our ibadah during the last ten days of the month, there could be some lethargy, fatigue, and general lack of wellness as a result of the activities over the last twenty one days. 

Having gone this far in this month of Ramadan, one will understand what it takes to go without food, and empathise with those who couldn’t afford three square meal a day. Understanding the plight of the poor is one part of what Ramadan is ordained to achieve. 

The best form of remembrance is the Quran and the best way to read the Quran is in your nawafil, Qiyamu-layl or supererogatory prayers.  

Don’t miss a moment doing the remembrance and dhikr.  You might get caught up doing subhanallah at a time and you found yourself immersed in it, please, don’t stop, continue at that moment because your heart is there already.

The aged are considered to have lost their strength and as a result of age, they are weaker by the day. So, Allah has permitted that they should not fast if they cannot afford to fast but feed the poor. See Quran Q2 :184.

We must have heard the popular poem coined from the saying of Prophet Muhammaad (s.a.) that the beginning of Ramadan is Mercy, the middle is Forgiveness and end is freedom from the Hellfire. We are in the middle fast approaching the second leg of ten. No time to waste again, seeking forgiveness of sins and […]
