THE GIFT OF RAMADHAN
BEING THE BEST YOU CAN BE
The month of immeasurable blessings will be with us again, Insha Allah. All of us most certainly desire great success each Ramadhan and it is truly a sign of heedlessness when we fail to reap the promised rewards of Ramadhan.
“May Allah rub his nose in the dust, that person who Ramadhan comes and his sins are not forgiven”
(Al-Tirmidhi, 3545)
Will our noses be the ones rubbed in dust? What about our children? They too must be made aware that we do not wait till Ramadhan to start preparing for it. They need to cleanse their hearts and souls before Ramadhan begins, learn about repentance, the power of dua, and how to make the most of Ramadhan. They need to rejoice and with trembling hearts anticipate the coming of Ramadhan and be spiritually in tune for this most blessed month of the year.
Muslim Professionals Forum’s (MPF) annual Ramadhan workshops are designed to remind and motivate the participants to aim to give their best in order to receive the best each Ramadhan.
