Jumma Mubaraka!
Oh Allah allow us to enter Ramadan and benefit from it in the best way. Oh Allah forgive us and have mercy on us. Make us from among those who You love and who do that which You love. Grant us to live in the best way and die in the best state, and make us of those who increase in faith with every passing day.
