			The month of Ramadan is about to dawn upon us. And it would only be wise of us to be prepared in
every way possible. Allah Subhana Allah Allah had given us fasting as a pillar of Islam, one of the
most fundamental integrals of our deen and as such, not only does Allah to Allah say you must first
he says it has been prescribed for you, it has been written for you. A prescription is generally
something that is given for your own good. When we go to the doctor, we don't look at the
prescription as something burdensome or something difficult. We appreciate it because it's going to
be for our
		

			insha Allah for our better health.
		

			So when Allah introduces the concept of fasting to us, he also attributes it to those who came
before us, explaining
		

			as he does in other places in the Quran that
		

			worshiping Allah hasn't changed over millennia.
		

			It's taken slightly different forms, but inevitably, they will. They were praised. There was
fasting.
		

			There was devotion, there was places of worship, etc. And fasting just adds to that list.
		

			Now Ramadan
		

			needs a proper battle plan. Last week we spoke about the battle plan against enough's. And we spoke
about the three the three different ways that we can actually train the nafs, especially in Ramadan,
we spoke about McAuliffe to knifes Mujahideen to nefs and Maha Sabha to neffs.
		

			So that was in relation to what we can expect for our spiritual development in the month of Ramadan.
And I started off with that, as opposed to a practical, everyday approach, because the most
important development in Ramadan is our spiritual development. That is the objective of Ramadan. And
if we fail in that regard, than any other sort of preparation that we do, basically becomes useless.
The person who prepares themself in a practical sense by making sure that they have the proper food
and that they have groceries in the cupboard and so forth for the month of Ramadan. It's all good
and well, but if you miss the objective, then you've missed a great deal. So the following are some
		

			ways in which we can actually prepare ourselves for the month of Ramadan in a very practical sense,
and I've listed five. The first is to deliberately and especially make dua to Allah subhanho wa
Taala for a successful Ramadan. Now, this sounds so simple, but I know that many of us neglect to do
this, like right now if you ask, Have I ever made if I conversed with Allah, up until this point,
and ask Allah, Oh Allah, grant me a successful Ramadan, grant me good health, so that I can fulfill
my obligations in Ramadan, and more than that, the superior rogatory Praise like the tarawih and
more than that, that I'm able to give charity and then I'm able to attain the masjid, etc, etc, for
		

			the month of Ramadan.
		

			Because not asking Allah is practically insane. Right? We need to ask Allah subhanho wa Taala by
asking Allah, we have stated our our own objectives, we gain assistance from the Divine and we made
it clear to Allah subhanho wa Taala that we are serious about our self development in the month of
Ramadan. So pray to Allah rasool Allah azza wa jal, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		

			is reported to have prayed, albeit not the most authentic of narrations. Allahumma Burdick Lana few
Raja Shaban Obaldia Ramadan
		

			The narration is weak, but for the purposes of recitation of the DUA it's perfectly fine and just to
acknowledge that the the is in fact this narration and many people I mean, all over we read this to
our we hear this to our O Allah bless us in the month of Rajab, bless us in the month of Shaban and
allow us to reach the month of Ramadan. So in that
		

			there is no specific mention of what is asking Allah Tala about Ramadan is Rasulullah sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam,
		

			but he's teaching us to pray for Ramadan ahead of Ramadan. And then there's another there's another
prophetic application Allahumma Selim Nalley Ramadan was Salim Ramadan Lana was Salim who Lana Muto
Kabbalah right. Sometimes they recite this in a in a jika and then the words change a bit, but what
does it mean? Allah whom Allah Salim Nalli Ramadan keep us safe for the month of Ramadan was Salim
Ramadan Lana keep Ramadan safe and special for us are Salim Hulan and Buddha Kabbalah and allow us
to reach it in a way that it will be accepted from us.
		

			So without looking at exactly what the prophets of Allah Allah was asked, or the details and how
it's different to what we perhaps want to ask for. We know that it would be recommended to pray to
Allah and ask Allah for what we want to achieve in this Ramadan
		

			when the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam when to go and see the moon we integrant site the moon
which is why it's sooner right to site the moon not just for the man cake is like our honorable Imam
Yeah, but it's actually soon enough for everyone. If you've never done this, it would be a good time
to go in Shall I think the last two years it was a bit tricky to do so but now it should be much
better. So sighting of the moon and then the point here is the application the DUA that is soon to
recite upon the sighting of the moon Allah whom a healer who Elena Oh Allah, allow the moon to shine
upon us. Bill m&e, well, a man with safety and in faith was salamati Well, Islam and with peace and
		

			tranquility and in submission to you
		

			What towfighi Lima to hate Bora Bora Robina watashi. Wa Tada. I think I might be getting one or two
words the incorrect but and grant us the ability to do that which is pleasing to Allah without Allah
and that's, yeah, that's pleasing to Allah subhanho wa taala. So again, in this
		

			we see that Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is not just connecting us to the physical act,
okay site the moon tomorrow we must fast it's not just that it's not just an indicator. It's a
connection to the spiritual activity that's taking place
		

			on a deeper level. So he's actually asking Allah subhanho wa Taala Oh Allah allow this moon to bring
with it. A healer who Elena Bill amneal Eman was salah. All of these applications. Oh Allah allow us
to reach the month of Ramadan Oh Allah keep us safe Ramadan keep Ramadan safe for us. Oh Allah
Amani, while EMA and safety, faith, Salama peace while Islam. It's all related to this one theme,
and that is preservation and security for the successful Ramadan. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam is asking Allah for this. How many how many Ramadan's have gone by way in, you know, a few
days in and then all of a sudden we sick, maybe we can't fast maybe we can't attain taraweeh and
		

			then that's usually an impediment for many people to not attend at all for the rest of the month.
Because our second the second nights are gone. Go on the 25th night. I'll go again on the 27th
night. But legitimate reasons also the some people genuinely become sick. And that's not the bad
thing. It's a taste from Allah Subhana Allah but ideally, we want to have good health so that we can
fulfill our Ramadan in a good way. I mean, arable enemy may Allah grant that to us. Number two,
		

			sugar to show thanks to Allah subhanho wa Taala and one shows thanks not just by saying thank you,
you know, we've we've mentioned this before sugar has different levels. The first one is just to
express our thanks and gratitude ALLAH SubhanA wa Alhamdulillah know All Praise and thanks is due to
Allah Who has allowed us to live another year and assuming that Allah Allah will allow us to live
through Ramadan. thank Allah for that. Thank Allah for the blessing of Ramadan. thank Allah for the
blessing of the Quran. Why is this so important?
		

			specifically for when the month comes, because Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam made a big
deal of the arrival of the month of Ramadan. And again they are there are several narrations, not
all of which are authentic. But this one, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam sees to the
Sahaba, the month of Ramadan has come to you, it is a blessing month, Allah has made it obligatory
upon you to fast during this month, the gates of heaven are opened in this month, the gates of *
are closed in this month, the devils are chained in this month is a night better than 1000 months,
whosoever is deprived of its blessings is indeed deprived of goodness. This is in the Sunon of an
		

			essay, then is another one that's this differences of opinion about its authenticity. But the
prophets awesome, speaks to the Sahaba on the last day of SHA burn, and gives a similar address, and
that's the one in which he is reportedly he is reported to have said that the first of it is Rama,
the second of it is mouthfeel. The third of it is salvation from the fire. Scholars have differed
about this some regard it is very weak at this regard, it is weak, others have claimed that it is it
is acceptable. Allah knows based, I believe that, you know, it's fine. But the message shouldn't be
that we you know, the first thing is we only focus on Rama and so on and so forth. I believe Rama is
		

			throughout Ramadan, multifidus throughout Ramadan, and salvation of the fire. You know, all of his
blessings exists throughout Ramadan. But the point here is not the Hadith or its specifications. By
the way, those are regarded as acceptable. They say that well it just means that these more
possibilities of Rama more possibilities of mouth Pharaoh and more of it koombana Allah Allah, the
point that I'm trying to make is
		

			the prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam announced, becoming of Ramadan. Now this is somewhat built into
our culture, we see we hear the radio station, they change the themes, the sounds change, our daily
habits change. So in a way, we do announce the coming of Ramadan, everybody is listening to the
radio waiting for Imam or waiting for the Hakim it should have made Hendricks to make the
announcement you know that the moon has been cited or that it hasn't been cited, or that we are
about to fight with one another again about whether it was cited or not you know that this is this
is something that we all tune in to because we want to know do we attain tarawih Hana. But more
		

			important than an announcement more important than then a communal embracing of Ramadan is our own
personal approach to how to welcome this month of Ramadan in with sugar with sugar, because this
entire point is about gratitude and being happy about it's coming.
		

			It's a very simple reason like in shaker room as he then come. If we are from among those who
welcome Ramadan with open arms and we are happy and elated for its arrival, then Allah subhanho wa
Taala will increase as in those blessings and will become more and more happy with the blessings of
Ramadan. But on the other hand, if you are from among those who, you know, they said the moon is
being cited and you think, Oh man, I really wanted to have lunch tomorrow. You know, I'm gonna have
to cancel that meeting. They know me to severe Tara week to Han Elka and SHA. So Amen. Now, that
type of attitude is not going to give us access to the blessings of Ramadan. Right we may get
		

			placings of Ramadan, but it's going to be a very different experience to the one who welcomes
Ramadan and makes it the happy occasion. Now it's it's more problematic than we imagine, in our
context, right.
		

			And I'm speaking from personally I've seen this with my own daughter that growing up, that we live
in a society where occasions of suffering shirk are highlighted and celebrated. Whether we like it
or not in our faces, right?
		

			Easter comes up, the shops are full Christmas comes up Christmas decorations, like a three year old.
Regardless of how Muslim that household must be. We'll know a few Christmas carols and we'll know
what Christmas is and a Christmas tree in Santa Claus and MLD dinner.
		

			But what is the four aid right? Now we can claim okay, this radio station in this lesson is that is
that enough? Right? We need to create environments of Ramadan. It needs to be clear. I would go as
far as saying if you want to decorate your home by painting it putting up some flowers having some
you know signposts Ramadan Kareem Ramadan Mubarak, somebody is gonna say this will be there. Yes, it
is. It's a very good one. You know, welcome the month of Ramadan and make it a big deal so that our
children and our family can
		

			I understand that this is an important time of the year for us. Is this the objective of Ramadan?
No, not at all. Not at all. But it adds, it adds to the way we feel about Ramadan. It needs to be a
very pleasant experience. You need to create an environment in which your children ask about when is
it Ramadan again, right. And don't only do that to the unhealthy cookies advocate time, do that in
other ways. Also, right? Let them look forward to the month of Ramadan. Like, for example, growing
up, many of us receive money for fasting you know, when we fasted off day we receive, okay, back
when maybe two and 50 for the day, if you fasted all day, maybe a five or 10 for the day, some of
		

			the kids listening to this right now are going to be laughing. But you know, is that sufficient at
the time, then on E day, your money comes in? Oh, you're so proud, because now you already planned
out and what you're going to be purchasing. This was a very creative way to celebrate the month of
Ramadan, you're in the Cape of Good Hope. There's a beautiful tradition of family sending the kids
to the neighbor's home with a plate of treats for Iftar time and seeing this, you know, before
Margarita, it's a beautiful sight. Children are dressed in a thobes and in the abayas and so forth,
taking the cookies around and they look forward to that as well. Let us not allow these traditions
		

			to die down. There's no reason for it. Okay, whatever safety issues and so forth need to be done in
order to ensure the safety of our children Bismillah. But don't let them die out because it adds to
the celebration of Ramadan.
		

			Number three, planning and determination. The other day I in fact spoke to my wife. I said, Look, we
need to sit down. Because
		

			when the announcement is made that the moon has been cited when we cite the moon, let's say it in
that way. There must be no wondering. Okay, now we were going to go to taraweeh tonight, what are we
going to have to Soho tomorrow morning? Oh, what time is Fajr? So we know what time to wake up what
time is Maghreb. So we know what time to start getting ready. Now, those things need to be know now
odd, right? And it's very easy. We just look at the calendar, I'm sure the calendar is available and
we plan now really, as simple as it may be. This will will cause that sense of panic, that sense of
turbulence right at the beginning where everything starts off and it's so hurried, that will abate
		

			those feelings in sha Allah and that's important so that we can redirect our focus on that which is
more important. And that's again our spiritual development right? The moment they say the moon has
been cited, we must be ready with our Quran in front of us to start reciting we must be ready to be
sitting in dua crying to Allah subhana wa Tada we need to be ready with our plan of how much I've
got am I going to be making per day how many edges of the Quran Oh rather, how much time am I going
to be spending with the Quran per day? What exactly am I going to do? I'm only going to be reciting
am I going to be attending hfcl series am I going to be sitting with some literature to improve my
		

			knowledge on the Quran? Which means masjid or masajid am I going to be attending you know we can
have we can i This is how we choose we can I get a good spiritual experience for Salah tutor are we
not way they make the quickest?
		

			That's not the point. Remember, this is as soon as sada right, it's as soon as you don't have to do
it, but you want to do it because you want to get the maximum from the month of Ramadan. So it
doesn't make sense. I want the maximum but I want the minimum maximum you know, be that as it may
rather go there with me quicker than not go at all. I just want to say that also okay. But more
important than the speed would be the quality. The quality right go with the Quran is recited
beautifully, with is recited beautifully. And when we get some advice, some Naseeha that is going to
add value to your day. That is going to enrich your experience of the month of Ramadan. But the
		

			point here, number three is planning and determination knowing exactly how we're going to be
spending the month of Ramadan for the males. Are we going to be making a decaf this year? It's it's
now very much a possibility I think across the world even in the Haram of Makkah and Medina Attica
has been reopened now in Ramadan for the first time in two years right. I know at least two three
people have gone in Amara hamdulillah uncle U Series also going on camera with his mother make dua
for them inshallah they leaving on Sunday.
		

			This is because people have been thinking about you know, how are we going to make the most of this
month of Ramadan have a proper plan for the gentleman again, don't have the first night of Buka
coming and then we wondering what I must do when I leave for the masjid some masajid like this
Masjid generally has a delay in the in the time of Asia because takes time for people to travel
here. Generally people live outside, know that whichever measured you're going to go and find out
what exactly that time is
		

			What time do you need to leave? After Iftar time? How can you fit in maybe salatu wa bien, between
Mercury and you're coming to the masjid. Maybe you can fit in the recitation of ACOTA Jews of the
Quran that time. That way you have less to recite when you come home and you have less to recite
during the day. If you are working at, you know, at an office to the like workplace, then how are
you going to change you're commuting to and from work way by it's no longer just commuting? It's
commuting in Ramadan. So you have earphones, maybe maybe you need to buy some earphones, you're
listening to lectures, you're listening to Kara on your way on your way back. This is what planning
		

			and determination is like a real plan that you've written down who seriously sat down and thought
about that would maximize how you spend the days and nights of Ramadan? What time are you going to
bed at night? What time are you going to wake up in the morning? What time do you plan on Waking up
foot? tahajjud? Can you not make the 100 Every night okay, which nights can you make the head dude,
let's say two alarms, I'm sure you know that your smartphones, you can see he repeated alarms for
the entire month, you can set alarms to go off at specific times for the entire month. Use that an
alarm that goes off when it's time to recite Quran an alarm that goes off when it's time to wake up
		

			an alarm that goes off when it's time to go to the masjid, etc. But the point is, don't just let the
month come and then carnosine that type of attitude, you will see what happens. Rather plan because
the planning will assist us. I mean, they are Bellami number four, very important. And I think
		

			many people neglect this, but that is learning the rules of fasting, the ACA museum. And if you've
already learned the rules of fasting, then revise the rules of fasting, right Kitab Siyam in our
fifth is not a very long chapter to learn and to study. And I'm sure that in our lives, we would
have gone through some of it or all of it at one stage or the other. But remember, Ramadan comes
around once a year, right? And that once a year we learn these things. Again, we hear these things,
we revise these things again. But chances are we would have forgotten some of those things since
last year. So you do revision, right? 100 Even you know, scholars and students of Dean, I'm a
		

			student of Dean, right, I've studied Kitab OCM, from various books at various levels. Every Ramadan,
I open up my books again, and I quickly go through the massage with it. That's for the purposes of
teaching or answering questions, but that's important, right? And of course, people ask questions,
but other than just asking a question about something that you need. For example, somebody may come
in they ask the question, well then taking the the vaccine the booster doesn't break my fast doesn't
break the faster no brother doesn't make the fastest intravenous it doesn't go through an open
orifice in the body. Okay, fine. Now knows that answer, he goes away. So he knows that one thing,
		

			because he was worried about that one thing. But what about the things that he's not worried about?
If he doesn't even know? You know, there's something to know about that? Right? Small example, small
example. With Risala. It is recommended to make with Risala in JAMA in the month of Ramadan of the
tarawih if you are not going to be making the Hajj that night, but it's more recommended to delay
with the risotto after the hygiene if you know you're going to be waking up with it. Now if you
don't know that this even exists, it's never going to cross your mind to ask the question unless
you're never going to know. So open up a book of
		

			beta store. Don't open up a book of fit, sign up for a class there are many pre Ramadan seminars,
online courses, etc. By revise the rules of fasting. And then number five, and this is the last one.
		

			Plan your charity, generosity and kindness in the month of Ramadan. Right. Now this comes from the
Hadith about how the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to spend his nights in Ramadan with
his teacher who's his teacher Sydnor Gibreel and he said oh Salaam. So the Hadith reads that the
Prophet Allah is it actually begins like this Kana Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam enjoyed an
S. The Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam was the most generous of all people.
		

			We don't have time to get into this stuff. But that statement is profound in and of itself. Because
the Prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam was not considered to be wealthy.
		

			He was not considered to be wealthy. Today, we think when we think about generous people, we think
straight, wealthy people, but generosity is not about how much you give. It's also in relation to
your attitude of giving and how much you give in proportion to what you have. Right? A person was
sitting with a billion and he gives say, for example, he gives a masjid offer million. That's
nothing for him. Right? It's pocket change.
		

			But the person who's sitting with a million and he gives the Magid off a million. Now that is 50% of
his money, right? You understand? But that's just one dimension. It's also related to the person's
sincerity and the person's.
		

			The person's intention behind why they are giving and the manner Allah subhanho wa Taala Anna so
this hadith reads, The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam used to be the most generous of people.
What a joy to Maya Qunu fie Ramadan, but the most generous that you would ever find. Muhammad
Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was in the month of Ramadan. When Hina Alka who? Gibreel when
Satan he buried Allah said it was Salamis to meet with him in the nights of Ramadan Fergana Gibreel
Elka who frequently late in Ramadan, yet da da su yet Adara So Al Quran oh come upon God La La
Setosa I'm used to meet with the prophets of Allah, Allah wa sallam every night of the Ramadan and
		

			what would they be doing? They would be studying the Quran, they would be studying the Quran. So
basically what was happening is, whatever was revealed of the Quran, up until that particular
Ramadan, they would spend the night in Ramadan, revising that, the entire revelation from beginning
till where they were. And then in the last year of his life, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they did
this process twice. They did this process twice. And during those meetings or other as a result of
those meetings, the prophet Alayhi Salatu was Salam increased in generosity. When he was described
for Cana ajwa Belhaj remain a wreath in more Salah he became more generous than the rain bringing
		

			frickin dating winds. Now for an agrarian society that means that the rain the wind, after which
rain comes here in the Mediterranean Cape it is what the northwesterly wind when the northwesterly
wind blows, then technically that means likely after that we're going to experience the rain. We
don't really know this or follow this or, you know, regard this as important because we don't we're
not living in agricultural based societies. But people who do that rain study that wind that wind is
like a good news announcement, push raw comb, this wind is coming rain is coming right? Of course it
still is. We're just not aware of it.
		

			Now imagine they describe the prophets of Allah Allah wa salam as the rain Breen wins during that
time of his generosity in the month of Ramadan, can we imagine just how generous he was. So Allahu
alayhi wa sallam, because generosity in the month of Ramadan, as with everything else, is multiplied
in rewards. It's multiplied in rewards, we have to think about it as times of investment, you know,
like in the stock markets, when the prices of a particular stock that's in demand goes down people
buy, because it's the time to buy, right? Or in the, in the in the
		

			the housing market forget was a property right? When the price is like now people are saying it's a
buyers market, you know, buy because it's the season to buy. And then you get the season to sell
again, you know, when you're going to reap the fruits of your investment. That's how we must think
of Ramadan. How can I invest in the best way in this month of Ramadan? We need to we need to be
looking for ways to spend our money and thinking of ways how we can wisely spend in Ramadan, not
waiting for ways to come to us. We need to be searching for ways, right? There are many fundraisers
and things going on. But the believer who takes the time to actually think about okay, look, I would
		

			like to spend money in South Dakota and Jerry, I would like to spend money in the education of kids.
I'd like to spend money in the development of infrastructure for the masjid, I'd like to spend that
there are various ways we can spend. Try to be creative in the way you spend money, right in the
month of Ramadan. For example, very few people think of, oh, I'm going to sponsor a student of deen
and this is a person studying Deen full time. I'm going to find the person underprivileged, a
deserving recipient and sponsor he studies. Do you know what type of investment that is? Allahu
Akbar. That's an amazing investment. Because that person is going to have a career of learning and
		

			teaching and preaching the deen of Islam in sha Allah, all of that reward is going to be coming to
you and that person, nobody gets decreased. And not just that person, but that person students and
the students, students and the students, students all the way tokuyama What an investment that is,
right? That's just one example. I know these bolding, the masjid and all of these things, but we've
heard of those things. Think creatively about how to spend your money during the month of Ramadan.
Now what do you need to know what percentage of our of our wealth is going to be allotted to sadaqa
and not just that guy to fit that Zakah at
		

			obligatory sadhaka extra we need to be looking for extra in the month of Ramadan you can spend you
can spend your money in a good way now ready for Ramadan a great sign is when the sign in is just
dates for sale that you know buying dates at the masjid as an example is his spending in Ramadan
because all the money is going to be for the Ramadan activities of the Masjid. We need to be
thinking about ways to maximize what we can gain out of Ramadan. Lastly, let us not forget where we
came from. Every Ramadan I become very, very emotional at the beginning when I think of I'm very
fortunate to have my mother's still alive 100 Nina Alexander long life and good health and all of
		

			our parents who are still alive, but I think about my father who I lost about 10 years ago almost 11
years ago and think about how he trained me Rahima hula for the month of Ramadan right preparing us
with are we taking a stutter are we scanning us out if we don't go to the runway Hello those type of
things. They planted the seeds that we are reaping the fruits of today, our parents and our
grandparents and our great grandparents all the way up. They are people who contributed to your
Islam today and they are no longer with us. They are in the cupboard perhaps one Ramadan perhaps
within Ramadan's, they can still benefit from our supplications in our dryers. So before the month
		

			of Ramadan comes, if you have the time, go and visit the cover of your of your parents. Go in recite
for your parents, right? Give when you give sadaqa in Ramadan, don't just give sadaqa give sadaqa
with amazing intentions. give sadaqa for the sake of your father for the sake of your grandfather,
Allah Allah, who mean all the believers who had passed on when you recite your Quran, make dua for
your parents make dua for those who contributed to the beauty of Islam that you practice today.
Don't forget where you where you came from. Right? And it brings about inside of you a sense of
wanting to make them proud, even though they left this world before. You really want to make them
		

			proud in the way you practice, fasting and in the way you observe the month of Ramadan. It's very
important that we understand this, right? People often think of sadaqa jariya only in terms of
money, right? But do you know that you are a southern Nigeria of your parents, that any good that
they installed within you, other than the money they spent on you with food and so forth, but the
time, the effort, the love, the devotion, the attention that they poured into your life, to make
sure that you make Salah to make sure that you fast to make sure that you recite Quran to give you
the education to be able to recite Quran, they are rewarded with every single moment of that. So for
		

			the I mean, for the very least can't we just raise our hands and pray for them? I would go as far as
saying we should be praying for our parents in every single salah. But especially before the month
of Ramadan dawns upon us, everybody runs to the graveyard on labyrinth they find good and well. But
before you even enter the month of Ramadan, go pay your dues right but you respect make dua for them
if you go and visit them Akbar I'm fine no problem but sit and make CS applications Allah Subhana
Allah may Allah grant all of our parents Jenna to feed those Allah make us have a blessed month of
Ramadan. May Allah grant that those who had passed on and contributed to our Ramadan and our
		

			practice of Islam Allah grant him all the rewards of anything good that we that we do in our lives.
May Allah Subhana Allah preserve us for Ramadan, preserve Ramadan for us and make it an accepted
Ramadan. I mean, may Allah make this Ramadan that's coming. May Allah first and foremost grant us
life to let Ramadan and may this round Ramadan that's coming be enough for each and every one of us
to enter Jannah without any reckoning. May we achieve every blessing of Ramadan, every half of the
Quran reward every Sajida every ruku every Advan every comma, every pm every taraweeh every tahajjud
every article May we receive all that reward and made this ummah be uplifted during this month of
		

			Ramadan coming. May the doors of Allah's blessings open up upon our hearts. May the doors of Jana be
