Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.

One of the greatest tragedies in life is to lose your own sense of self and accept the version of you that is expected by everyone else.

وَلَا يَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَدًۭا

This blessed month is a time purely for worship, and to strengthen & deepen our religious life with sincere intention.

Ramadan gives us the great gift of taqwa (تقوی) so the believers can feel in the depths of their soul that they are in constant need of guidance & sustenence which comes from Allah(ﷻ), and ultimately plants all the goodness in their hearts, refine their speech, and organize the ummah with appropriate standards.

This holy month prepares the muslims with a wakeful heart to be communicative with the words of Almighty himself( Qur'an) and points them in the direction of righteousness.

And it is He ( Allah ) who created the night

and the day and the sun and the moon;

all [heavenly bodies] in an orbit are swimming.

~Surah Al-Hajj v.18

إِنَّآ أَعْطَيْنَـٰكَ ٱلْكَوْثَرَ

Indeed, We have granted you ˹O Prophet˺

abundant goodness.

فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَٱنْحَرْ

So pray and sacrifice to your Lord alone.

إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ ٱلْأَبْتَرُ

Only the one who hates you is truly cut off from

any goodness.

~Surah Ghafir v.60

Indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.

~Surah Baqarah v.186

And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them.

~H. Akhtar

~Surah Ar-Ra'd v.28

Establish prayer for my remembrance.

~Surah Taha v.14

Whoever turns away from my Remembrance will certainly have a miserable life.

“My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.”

~Surah Taha ,ayah 114
