DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a, 24th day of Sha'abaan (Wednesday 7th April 2021). RAMADHAN IS FAST APPROACHING. BismilLah. 

Alhamdullah this year, Ramadan will be from 12/13 April to 12/13 May 2021 (depending on moon sightings). Please note that Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam. A key objective of fasting is to increase in taqwa (closeness to / consciousness of God), and to engender a sense of gratitude, self-discipline and self-improvement, at both an individual and community level, which we Muslims are encouraged to continue throughout the year.

At an individual level, fasting encourages us to feel an affinity with the poor across the world who have little or no food to eat, whilst for our own bodies, scientific studies have shown that fasting provides several health benefits and forms of intermittent fasting have been incorporated into several diet regimes. At a community level, the breaking of fast meal (iftar) at sunset encourages families and local communities to share their meal together, whilst charity work in local communities typically increases during Ramadan. Its an opportunity to reset our relationship with our Creator and to be united as Muslims towards cleansing our souls. Let's embrace it with passion, seriousness and determination and with hope that we come out of this Ramadhan as born again Muslims in Shaa ALLAH. May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
