RAMADHAN FOR MUSLIMS

Bismillahi rahmani rahim

Assalam alaikum warahmatullah wabarakatu 

Ramadhan 1438 Alhamdhulillah, May Allah bless us with more of this beautiful month. Ya Rahman accept our fasts and forgive us, Ya Ghaffar for what we knew and whatever knew not. Ameen

Ramadhan is a month of empowerment, not just a month of rituals, not just a month of exercises, it is not just a month of sacrifice. It is not simply a month to listen to the Quran or to stand in prayer or to fast. All these things are the virtues and the characteristics of Ramadhan.

But it is the Month of these actions, it is the desire outcome of these actions that we need to ponder upon for a moment. Ramadhan is a month of empowerment. We are seeking Mercy, Forgiveness and Freedom from the hell fire. Either this is something we are given it denied. If we are given that, it is given by authority, that's called empowerment.

Ramadhan is a month of discipline, a month of focus and a month of concentration. Whoever is denied the benefit of discipline and focus and concentration about their life. And about the value of their life. About their family. About their society and how to produce or to participate in a better world, this person has only went though exercise.

It is like  a boxer who goes to the gymnasium and prepares for one year but they never enter the ring of competition.

Ramadhan is a month of research and reflection. Ramadhan is a month of making new resolutions about our lives. Ramadhan is a month of creativity, concentration and reflection. Making new resolutions on what I would like to do, better this year than I did last year.
