Assalamu alaykum,
Alhamdulillah we are witnessing another Ramadan, all Praise and Thanks is for Allah swt. May Allah bless us all during Ramadan and throughout the year with His forgiveness, mercy and bring us all closer to Him. May Allah accept our fasting and ibadah and guide us all to the Straight Path.
This piece of advice is from Yasmin Mogahed's FB:
As we enter this blessed month of mercy, I give this advice to myself first, and then to you:
Don’t let this Ramadan be just a holiday of rituals. Don’t finish reading the Quran without it transforming you. Don’t feed your body at suhoor, but starve your heart of Qiyam. Don’t reduce this downpour of mercy to just a month of sweets and lavish iftars. Seek Him, you will find. Take a sincere step towards change, transformation, redemption. If you do, you will find Him in front of you. Find Him this month. He’s been there all along. Closer than your jugular vein. Look and you’ll find. Walk and you’ll arrive.
