RAMADAN; LET THIS BE THE MONTH FOR YOU

Take out your fancy prayer mats and your favorite tasbih because the month of blessings is just around the corner. You guessed it right, the Holy month of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar is upon us and the first fast is expected to be around 12th of April.

Ramadan is a month where Allah S.W.T puts a jackpot on our rewards over good deeds. It’s that time of the year where you get a chance to really get close to your Lord and repent for your sins. Along with this incentive, the imprisonment of the Shiyatin is another motivating factor.

Let’s make a pact that this Ramadan we will focus solely on collecting the ginormous rewards along with completing and understanding the Quran rather than wasting our time in useless activities and sleeping. As for iftar, as necessary as it may seem to have a variety of dishes to break your fast one must not forget that the sole purpose of fasting is to practice self-discipline, self-control, sacrifice, and empathy for the less fortunate ones.

Getting kids excited about the Holy month is really wondrous as they will never forget this experience and carry it on with them. You need to put in some special effort into making this time of the year their favorite one.

Specify one of the corners in your house for the daily Ibadah. Get your kids to help you put up some fairy lights and keep a basket for the Islamic books or other things you might need while praying. You can also get a small jar for depositing daily sadiqah , zakat and charity.

Let this month be your guide to make you a better person and improve your relationship with others and contribute to your community.
