Ramadaan Kareem my dear brothers and sisters,
It was narrated that with the coming of every Ramadan, the beloved Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa-salaam) would remind his companions of the significance of the month. This is to remind them to take all the opportunities given by Allah. Another reminder is stated in a hadith:
There comes to you a month which is full of barakah. In this month, it is wajib (compulsory) for you to fast. In this month, all the gates of Heaven are opened and all the gates of Hell are closed and Shaytaan has been chained. In truth, there is a night reserved by Allah, which rewards are better than than the rewards of performing ibadah for 1000 months. Whoever loses this opportunity to receive the blessings, therefore he has been denied of Allah's Rahmaah. (An-Nasaai)
Please remember me in your dua's, insha'Allah.
May Allah Most High, accept our ibadaah and give us tawfiq in all that we do. Ameen.
