Words of Wisdom
Alhamdulillah, we are a few hours away from Ramadan. We pray that Allah blesses us in this month of Ramadan and makes it a means for us to come closer to Him and closer to each other. The purpose of fasting and other actions is to increase our Taqwa. Taqwa is God-consciousness and being aware that Allah sees everything, hears everything, and knows everything. We should do everything to please Him out of hope in His reward and fear of His punishment. The hadith reminds us that Alhamdulilah, we have many opportunities to change for the better and transform our lives, so let us make dua and take advantage of these opportunities and we ask Allah to make us among those that are entered into jannatul firdaws and freed from the fire of Hell.
Hadeeth of the Day
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Allah's Messenger () saying regarding Ramadan, "Whoever prayed at night in it (the month of Ramadan) out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven." Al-Bukhari
