Dear Freinds


Ramadan Kareem , Allow me to give you some advices in this occasion :

Ramadan is an auspicious opportunity for believers to renew their commitment to their Creator and the Sovereign of the Day of Recompense. This commitment must be both outward and inward so that a Muslim not only recites more Quran and offers more units of prayer, but that she or he does so with reflection, humility and attentiveness

Muslims must ensure they are not formalists who concentrate only on the outward. Achieving Allah's acceptance must be a believer's priority and is not easy. "Indeed, Allah only accepts from the righteous (who fear him - al muttaqoon)." (Quran 5:27)


Ramadan is a wonderful opportunity for accounting of one's sins and making repentance. If one does not repent in Ramadan, when will he or she do so


Muslims should strive to worship Allah as best as they can from the beginning of the month, for that increases chances of the end of the month being good as well.


Muslims should consider what is it that they truly want to achieve in Ramadan, whether they want to be from the winners or from the losers, and should make sure they do not perform acts of worship simply because it is the surrounding people's custom to do so


At the End , May Allah Bless you all in the month of Mercy Ramadan .
