Fasting Muslims are now entering the final 10 days of Ramadan which are the most important days with special emphasis on night worship. Perform your tarawih prayer, even if you have to sit due to being tired but don't miss it in these very special nights as Laylah al-Qadr falls in these nights with its huge reward. In these last 10 days of Ramadan increase your good deeds of all kinds and make it a practice after Ramadan for Ramadan is the month of imbuing oneself with righteousness and righteous acts. May we all be of those who witness Layla al-Qadr and reap its spiritual benefits. Amin. Ramadan Karim.

On the occasion of the blessed month of Ramadan, may we wish all staff, students, junior learners, past students and all your families, all our donors and wellwishers wherever you are as well as all Muslims around the world Ramadan Karim. May Allah bless us all in this blessed month with spiritual peace, communal peace, mercy, forgiveness, guidance and prosperity. May He help all those who suffer injustice and opporession and show His Light to all who are looking for it. Come nearer to your Creator through your fasting and extra worship over and above those prescribed. Allah is with those who are Godfearing and righteous and strive in His way. Ramadan Karim to all.

We are now in the final strait to Ramadan. May Allah bless us all with goodness in the remaining days of Sha`ban and bless us to witness the month of Ramadan. Ramadan is the month of the Qur'an, so we must all read it and study it and implement its injuctions. If we cannot read it, listen to its qira'ah. Spend your Ramadan days in increasing your taqwa and so coming nearer to Allah. Increase your sunnah salah and be especially mindful of the special Ramadan salah, tarawih. Increase dhikr and giving sadaqah especially to the needy and there as millions of them all over the world. In these remaining days of Sha`ban, tune in to everything good and righteous and continue with it in Ramadan and beyond. May Allah protect us all, guide us all, place inclination to Him in our hearts, forgive our sins and have mercy on us. Amin.

We are 6 weeks away from the start of Ramadan. How time rushed past us. It's time to get into gear to welcome the blessed month of fasting and spiritual strengthening. Rajab is the time for the spiritual sowing of the spiritual seeds of taqwa, Sha'ban is the growth period and in Ramadan we perfect and harvest it. If you have qada' of the past Ramadan, start now to settle your account. Wallahu Musta'aan.
