WELCOMING THE MONTH OF RAMADĀN.
All praise is due to Allāh, The most High, who in His infinite Mercy, gave us opportunity and spare our lifes to witness this blessed month of Ramadān.
Ramadān is a month of ”Ibādāt, month of Qur’an, and a special month to seek for repentance, to cleanse one’s heart from its flaws and diseases.
It is reported in Sahīhayn, that our Beloved Messenger salallāhu ‘alayhi wasallam said:
_ﻣَﻦْ ﺻَﺎﻡَ ﺭَﻣَﻀَﺎﻥَ ﺇِﻳﻤَﺎﻧًﺎ ﻭَﺍﺣْﺘِﺴَﺎﺑًﺎ ﻏُﻔِﺮَ ﻟَﻪُ ﻣَﺎ ﺗَﻘَﺪَّﻡَ ﻣِﻦْ ﺫَﻧْﺒِﻪِ_
_Whoever fasts Ramadān out of faith and in the hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven._
For this, oh beloved brothers and sisters, we should welcome this month with happiness, aspiration, and determination to fast this month with all its conditions and to also hasten for good deeds in it.
Bārakallāhu fīkum
