THE MONTH OF RAMADAN

The spirit of Ramadan is not just in abstaining from eating & drinking, it is a sacred time to nourish and purify the heart, mind and soul. Ramadan is usually in the atmosphere of mixing with friends and family in the community, making more effort to be punctual with every Sallah (Prayer), increasing the recitation of Quran and Zikr, spending extra time in the Mosque, especially for the night prayer, Taraweeh, sharing meals when breaking the fast, giving lots of charity and most importantly this is the month for spiritual upliftment.

The practices and traditions of Ramadan are culturally embedded in every household. Bearing in mind, that we are still in a Covid pandemic, it is vital to continue practicing social distancing, wear a face mask and/or face shield, sanitize and wash your hands frequently and abide by the rules of protection, especially when in the Mosques or religious gatherings or mixing with family.

Ramadan is also a month of Reflection, when reflecting on our own lives, we should take time to reflect on the lives of all those suffering in the world, try to assist someone in need by donating generously and remember the Muslim Ummah in our duas.

May the Almighty, Allah (SWT) Accept from us all.

Take care and Keep safe!
