Mufti Menk – Ramadan is Perfect

			Now, I want to ask a question. Imagine if Rama Vaughn was more than a month? How do you think we
would fare? Don't you agree as a Muslim, that the month is exactly correct in terms of duration for
us too fast. If it was just a week or two, it wouldn't have that impact that effect, it would just
be the beginning of something and then it's ended. And if it was more than a month, it would prolong
a little bit too much for our excitement to be maintained, and how we have the last 10 nights and
the speech of the power of the Night of Decree, you know, the sacredness of those nights and how we
should be lining them up with all acts of worship. So this is something unique because the way Allah
		

			has designed the month of Ramadan, it's it kicks off with a big bang mashallah, everyone's a
taraweeh. Everyone's excited about the moon mashallah, and where they Allahu Akbar, as soon as the
moon is sited, and that evening already, we're in full mode of Ramadan, we can feel the the
spirituality of it. And before we know it, we're up for the whole for the first soul, which is the
pre Dawn meal, and we're enjoying it and we're excited and the month begins and you know, full swing
from first night. And then Subhanallah people might just calm down a little bit and they might lose
a little bit of momentum after perhaps the 10th night and they might and so what happens you then
		

			get to the middle of Ramadan, and everyone will start saying Ramadan is already halfway down.
Ramadan is already almost over. Let's make the most of it and before you know it, you're in the last
10 the last 10 have been given greater value than all of the others although every night is
valuable.
