Pictures & Quotes

As we start this blessed month, there are some simple reminders of what the month is all about. While it is easy to focus on the hunger and binge eat, there is so much more to the fasting. Ramadan is the biggest blessing and a moment to reflect and recognize your relationship with The Creator, reevaluate your priorities and recommit yourself to Him.

Reflect

Ramadan is a time to offer more prayers, read the Quran, and strive to be a better Muslim. Perhaps one of the most important things to do this month is to reflect on your past behavior and sins. During Ramadan, try to improve at least one of these issues. Don’t just fix it for the month, but for the rest of your life.

Recognize

After you have reflected on yourself, recognize that you are not perfect. Notice that you sin and that you must seek forgiveness constantly from the All-Merciful and All-Forgiving. Recognize that Allah is everything. And without Him, you are nothing.

Reevaluate

Take time every day (after prayers is a good time) and reevaluate your life. Reevaluate your priorities. Do you put work before your prayers? Do you choose TV over studying the Quran? Simple changes can mean the world. Revaluate everything and bring yourself closer to Allah.
