A Special Month filled with Blessings

Ramadan is a time where one can focus on leaving bad habits for new ones and train the mind, body, and soul to return to its true purpose: to worship Allah (glorified and exalted be He) through our statements and actions. It is a time of great sacrifice benefit and multiple rewards.

“O People! The month of Allah (Ramadan) has come with its mercies, blessings and forgiveness. Allah has decreed this month the best of all months. The days of this month are the best among the days, and the nights are the best among the nights, and the hours during Ramadan are the best among the hours. This is a month in which you have been invited by Him (to fast and pray). Allah has honored you in it. In every breath you take is a reward of Allah, your sleep is worship, your good deeds are accepted and your invocations are answered. Therefore, you must invoke your Lord in all earnestness with hearts free from sin and evil, and pray that Allah may help you to keep fast, and to recite the Holy Qur’an. Indeed!” [Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 1965]
