Make Ramadan 1445 your best (ever) by Allah's grace!
Dr. Jameel Shaik
I am open to any opportunities related to the advancement of human beings, animals, birds, trees, and all living beings! Also, I am striving to be a better human being.
Strive hard to defeat Satan – trust me, it is not very difficult!
You might have been fasting since your childhood. Or you might have just started or thought you might begin fasting. It does not matter. All that matters is your firm Niyyah (intention). And then let Allah take over the reins of your soul. Try doing it. In sha Allah you will succeed for sure.
Ramadan - The holy month of fasting and giving Zakat
Ramadan is not just the month of fasting but also giving Zakat. Zakat is the purification of your wealth. Now remember, one can offer Zakat any time of the year. However, most people prefer to offer Zakat during the month of Ramadan for the simple reason that the rewards for good deeds are amplified during this month! The minimum amount of Zakat is 2.5% or 1/40 of a Muslim’s total savings and wealth.
This Ramadan, please think about the poor, less fortunate, destitute and needy
Most of us live our lives without facing many difficulties. However, not many of us are so fortunate enough! There are millions of people out there who face poverty, war, and calamities – both natural and man-made (the latter are occurring in more numbers unfortunately due to human decadence!), etc. So, during your Suhoors/Sehris and Iftars, think about the less fortunate people and offer them help however you can. Besides Zakat, Fitra, Fidyah, and Kaffarah can be offered. Please remember me and my family in your precious duas (prayers). I need them badly! JazakAllah Khayr (May Allah reward you abundantly) – Aameen, Summa Aaamen.
