We will start the Tafseer series again when Ramadan starts be-iznilLah.  Let's remind each other what Ramadan is.  Ramadan is a life-reset, not just a fasting schedule my brothers and sisters. ALLAH Azzawajal says: “O you who believe, fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may attain TAQWA.” (Qur’an 2:183).

Fasting is not just avoiding food but also fasting from sins, ego,...
