Ramadan - You Can Do It!

IT is in the month of Ramadan that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) asked 313 men to forsake their wealth, families and potentially their lives for Islam and again requested of the same to 30,000 men for the Battle of Tabuk. 

More than 1400 years later, there are still men, women and children throughout the world today who will fast in the month of Ramadan while having no shelter or access to healthcare and are being persecuted for testifying to the Oneness of Allah (glorified and exalted be He) and Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) as His messenger, like the millions of Muslim refugees and displaced persons in conflict zones.

Many will not know whether they will live to see their families at the end of the day and yet they do not see Ramadan as an added struggle. It is a blessing and mercy of Allah (glorified and exalted be He) that he has made our most pressing matter a simple examination that carries at the most, negligible value.
