We are indeed blessed to witness another sacred month of Ramadaan; a time for deep reflection and introspection; but also a time of increased social action.
Ramadaan is truly a special period of fasting, of spiritual purification, of moral elevation, of increased charity and of heightened social consciousness; a month of caring and sharing.
At a personal level, our Ramadaan journey should be steps towards a better self; realizing that every sunset gives us one day less to live but every sunrise gives us one day more to hope; motivating us to savour every step we take, making every fast count.
We must treat every moment with reverence for we do not know how many more moments we have before all our moments in this world are over. As we remember those who are not with us, including our founder, Shukoor Mowzer; we ask Allah to grant all the deceased Jannatul Firdaws, forgiveness to those who are ailing and grant forgiveness to us all.
Let us make a resolution to fill our hearts with positive inspirational motivations that lead to constructive deeds; deeds that reflect our imaan, deeds done with purity of intention, deeds emanating from empathy, compassion, kindness, truthfulness, trustworthiness, humility, sincerity; … all the characteristics that reflect ihsaan.
Ihsaan entails the confluence of good deeds emanating from sound mind, motivated by a pure heart; and after all, it is that pure heart that is the passport to Paradise.
Ramadaan Kareem from Team Nakhlistan
