The blessed month of Ramadan is approaching
us. This in itself is a great blessing which we should be thankful to Allah for.
We will again be gifted an opportunity to experience the days and nights of
this beautiful month inshaAllah. A month in which every night, Allah sets His
servants free from the Hell-fire. A time in which hasanaat (rewards for good
deeds) are multiplied.
Before it begins, it is important to ponder
about its many virtues and how we can best worship Allah swt. How can we fruitfully
use our time to reap its benefits? How will this Ramadan be different?
One step we can take now is to set objectives
which we can achieve during the month, by Allah's Mercy. It might be useful to write up your objectives
on a piece of paper and post it somewhere where you can see every day.
