#Ramadan2024 – Day 1

Islam is NOT just a set of dietary requirements and prohibitions on debauchery — it is the path to truth, the guidebook for mankind.

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ لَا رَيْبَ ۛ فِيهِ ۛ هُدًۭى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ٢

This is the Book! There is no doubt about it—a guide for those mindful ˹of Allah˺ — Qur’an 2:2

Allah opens the Qur’an by telling us our purpose on this earth — the Qur’an is our guide in this life.

Those who follow the Qur’an and the commandments of God:

“أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ عَلَىٰ هُدًۭى مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ ۖ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ ٥

It is they who are ˹truly˺ guided by their Lord, and it is they who will be successful.” — Qur’an 2:5

Success in this context means achieving mindfulness of God. Throughout our day being aware of Him, most exalted, and as such worshipping Him constantly in the big and the small actions of our daily lives.

“قُلْنَا ٱهْبِطُوا۟ مِنْهَا جَمِيعًۭا ۖ فَإِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُم مِّنِّى هُدًۭى فَمَن تَبِعَ هُدَاىَ فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ ٣٨

We said: Descend all of you! Then when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows it, there will be no fear for them, nor will they grieve.” — Qur’an 2:38

This is ultimately the path to personal peace, tranquility and no fear in life.

Alhamdulillah ‘Ala Kulli Haal.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ

All praises are for Allah throughout everything

We thank Him for allowing us to reach another blessed Ramadan.
