FAJR REMINDER: RAMAḌĀN IS COMING!
By: Umm Affān
Sha'bān 13, 1447 (1-February-2026)
Ramaḍān is truly one of the greatest blessings that Allāh grants us. It is a period filled with generosity, blessings, spiritual nourishment, worship, and obedience to Allāh. Fasting during this month is the fourth pillar of Islām, making it essential to prepare adequately before it begins.
Ibn Rajab reported that Ma’la Ibn al-Faḍl (Raḥimahullāh) mentioned, “The companions would supplicate to Allāh for six months before they would reach Ramaḍān. Then, they would supplicate to him for six months afterward to accept their deeds.” [Laṭā’if al-Ma’ārif 1/138] Indeed, reaching Ramaḍān is a significant blessing. This is why the Prophet (ﷺ) would notify people with glad tidings about this cherished month and highlight its virtues along with the considerable rewards that Allāh has prepared for those who fast and engage in night prayers.
It is vital to embrace this blessed month with heartfelt repentance and gratitude. While seeking Allāh’s Pardon is crucial at all times, the significance of avoiding sins is even more pronounced during Ramaḍān. We should regret our past misdeeds and make a firm decision not to revert to them, as Allāh indeed accepts the repentance of those who sincerely turn back to Him.
Allāh says: “O you who believe! Turn to Allāh with sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will remit you into Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise) the Day that Allāh will not disgrace the Prophet (Muḥammad ﷺ) and those who believe with him…” [Sūrah At-Taḥrīm (66): 8]
Additionally, we should strive to resolve any conflicts we may have with others, particularly regarding fulfilling their rights. This will allow us to start the blessed month with a pure heart and a tranquil mind.
I beseech Allāh to grant us the opportunity to reach this month in good health and strong faith. Aameen.
