In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Assalaam Alaykoum Wa RahmatuLlah Wabarakatouh.
Dear brother in Islam, May Allah reward you abundantly for your eagerness to draw near to Him.
We invoke Almighty Allah to enable us to reap the fruits of the blessed month, accept our acts of worship,
and grant us forgiveness and immunity against the punishment of Hellfire.

It is noteworthy that the month of Ramadan is a blessed month and an opportunity for all Muslims to draw near to Allah,
to increase their morality and spirituality, and to gain abundant reward.

Ramadan is meant for our moral and spiritual training and for the purification of our bodies, minds, and souls.
This is an annual training program for all believers.
It is a special time to get closer to Allah and to seek His blessings and bounties.
It is a time to learn taqwa (fear of Allah), piety, self-discipline, and patience.
It is a time to give more charity and become more generous.
It is a time to seek Allahs forgiveness and to forgive each other.
It is a time to be thankful to Allah for His gifts and bounties and especially His gift of iman (faith).

We urge you, brothers and sisters, not to miss any day of fasting and not to miss any moment of this month in trivialities.
This is a very precious time, and Allah will give us many benefits if we use it in the proper way.

RAMADHAN MUBARAK TO YOU ALL.

Nasheed by Ahmed Bukhater.

RAMADHAN

Ramadhan has came and fasting has begun
Bringing joy to everyone at all times

Glorifying Allah, pious, submissive
Muslims, faithful and worshipping Allah

It's our month of fasting, liberty and honest piety
Our day is of patience with tears of fears

It's the body of reformation
It is prevention from obscenity
It paves the way for forgiveness, its morals is a dressing purity
My brother in Islam
Don't kill your sound heart

And avail of Ramadhan, the month of benevolence
As long as you are living.

As-Salam Alaykoum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.

Dr. Zakir Naik gives some tips and advice for the month of Ramadan!

12 Things to Avoid during Ramadan

1. Dont sleep during the day and pray all night. By doing this you are converting the day into night and the night into day, which is not the purpose of fasting.
2. Avoid being lazy and inactive during the day.
3. Dont waste time playing games during the day. Rather, please Allah by increasing in your worship of him..
4. Avoid having Iftar parties. Ramadan wasnt meant to be a food extravaganza.
5. Dont ask your wife to spend Ramadan in the Kitchen. Eat something light and quick - she isnt Biryani woman.
6. Spend the last 10 days worshipping Allah rather than trying to prepare for Eid! A day that is better than a thousand months is in these last 10 days. You can't afford to miss this.
7. Dont stay awake the full night. Your body has a right over you, and when it wants rest, then rest.
8. Avoid excessive socialising after Taraweeh
9. Avoid shopping a lot in Ramadhaan.
10. Dont eat the full night.
11. Dont loiter around at night rather than worshipping Allah.
12. Eid doesnt require loads of preparation. Dont fall into this trap! Keep it simple, and it will be blessed.
