Ahlan-wa-sahlan...
“O
believers, prescribed for you is the Fast, even as it was prescribed
for those that were before you - haply you will be godfearing - for days
numbered; and if any of you be sick, or if he be on a journey, then a
number of other days. And for those who are unable to fast, a redemption
by feeding a poor man. Yet better, it is for him who willingly gives
more. And that you should fast is better for you, if you but know. The
month of Ramadan, wherein the Koran was sent down to be a guidance to
the people, and as clear signs of the Guidance and the Salvation. So let
those of you, who are present at the month, fast it; and if any of you
be sick, or if he be on a journey, then a number of other days; God
desires ease for you, and desires not hardship for you; and that you
fulfil the number, and magnify God that He has guided you, and haply you
will be thankful. And when My servants question thee concerning Me - I
am near to answer the call of the caller, when he calls to Me; so let
them respond to Me, and let them believe in Me; haply so they will go
aright.”
(Al-Baqarah 2: 183-186)
Hopefully this Ramadhan al-Mubarak be a transformative fast.
Be mindful - thankful and turn
to Allah The Almighty in our fasting.
May the Holy Quran be our very best friend ever...
