Under the fear of Corona virus and The missing of the Islamic states.

The month of Ramadan has approached us once again and is providing us the opportunity to avail all that we were not able to avail in previous Ramadans.

Obligations that have a cycle always hold a chance of improvement. Ramadan is not a phase that comes to bring spiritual change in us for a month and then we turn back to our normal selves.

It comes to enhance the basic Aqeedah that is implanted in the heart of a mo’min (believer). Allah (swt) in the Holy Quran clearly tells the believers why fasting has been made obligatory for them, and that is to gain “Taqwa’’.

ﻳَﺎ ﺃَﻳُّﻬَﺎ ﺍﻟَّﺬِﻳﻦَ ﺁﻣَﻨُﻮﺍ ﻛُﺘِﺐَ ﻋَﻠَﻴْﻜُﻢُ ﺍﻟﺼِّﻴَﺎﻡُ ﻛَﻤَﺎ ﻛُﺘِﺐَ ﻋَﻠَﻰ ﺍﻟَّﺬِﻳﻦَ ﻣِﻦ ﻗَﺒْﻠِﻜُﻢْ ﻟَﻌَﻠَّﻜُﻢْ ﺗَﺘَّﻘُﻮﻥَ

“Oh you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that you may gain Taqwa.”
[Surah Al-Baqarah: 183]

Literally, ‘Taqwa’ means to protect and is that one protects him/herself from the Wrath of Allah by protecting him/herself from indulging in things that Allah forbids. And Allah (swt) not only forbids us from individually being sinful but focuses on collective reform.

Finally We urge the ummah to call for the return of the khilafah to secure their unity and authority.
