Ramadan is a blessed month of reflection, devotion, and spiritual renewal. He reminds us that it is a time to purify the heart, strengthen faith, and seek closeness to Allah through fasting, prayer, and sincere worship. During this sacred period, he encourages all to turn inward, repent for past shortcomings, and renew their intentions with humility and devotion.
As Allah says in the Holy Qur’an (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:183):
“O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may attain Taqwa (piety and righteousness).”
He emphasizes that fasting, prayer, patience, gratitude, and acts of charity during Ramadan are not only spiritual obligations but also a path to moral and personal excellence.
He prays that this Ramadan brings peace, mercy, and guidance to all believers. He hopes it strengthens hearts, deepens faith, and inspires deeds that benefit both family and community. May this sacred month illuminate the path of righteousness, elevate moral character, and foster unity and harmony among all Muslims.
