The Ramadan month is upon us and Muslims all over the world are participating in the fast exercise.
In marking the Ramadan fast, we recommend these seven activities for every muslim.
- Strive to make Rabaniyyah (getting close to Allah) your focus for this Ramadan.
- Hasten towards sincere repentance: And repent unto Allah all together Oh believers that you may prosper. (Q23:31).
- Adopt the policy of mutual forgiveness, pardon and overlooking to preserve the bond of brotherhood. The Believers are but a single brotherhood (Q49:10).
- Be steadfast in the daily Nawafil (Tarawih, Witr Solatu Dua etc) for they are highly rewarding.
- Engage relentlessly in the praiseworthy adhkar through tasbih, tahmid, tahleel, takbir and solatu alan-Nabiyy (SAW). Let not your tongue waiver from the constant remembrance of Allah (SWT).
- Take time out to visit relations especially parents, and break the fast with them as frequent as possible.
- Hasten to provide food for fasting Muslims as much as is convenient, for you will get the replica of their rewards. Find ways to put a smile on as many Muslims faces as possible for this is pleasing to Allah (SWT).
