The current coronavirus disease global pandemic affected a lot of activities that are done in Ramadan. Muslims could not gather in the Mosque for obligatory congregational prayers as well as for Ramadan lectures. As Muslims say good bye to Ramadan fasting this year, everyone should ask himself what are the marks on his scorecard? The meaning of the above is that, how has everyone fared in his acts of worship in the holy month of Ramadan? Everyone should assess his recitation of the Glorious Qur'an; Tahajjud/Taraweeh; the five daily prayers; giving out alms to the poor as well; abstaining from forbidden things as well as doing other good deeds. As a Muslim, will you award yourself a mark below 50% or above 50%? The answer is left for you to provide.

It is a big rewarding act if a fasting Muslim completes the recitation of the Glorious Qur'an from chapter 1 to chapter 114 in the month of Ramadan. The Glorious Qur'an is significant with Ramadan, as the Book of Allaah was revealed in Ramadan. As Ramadan fasting for this year clocks 28 days this evening, every Muslim should assess the extent of his Qur'an recitation so far. It will not be okay if a fasting Muslim who knows how to recite the Glorious Qur'an does not complete a whole Qur'an. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon his noble soul) in one of his sayings stated that "the best among you (Muslims) is the one who knows how to recite the Glorious Qur'an and teaches others." It therefore means Muslims are to learn how to recite the Glorious Qur'an in Arabic.

Islam is a religion which enjoins all Muslims to respect people of other faiths or ideologies no matter what the situation. Muslims are forbidden from abusing or cursing or name-calling themselves and others. One of the things that will make a good number of persons enter Jahanam (hell fire) on the day of judgement is badmouthing/name-calling. In chapter 49 verses 11-12 of the Glorious Qur'an, Almighty Allaah warned the believing Muslims to desist against the following bad behaviours: 1. Defaming one another. 2. Insulting one another using terrible nicknames. 3. Spying on one another. 4. Backbiting one another. All the four mentioned above are totally unacceptable in Islam. Any Muslim who does them should stop immediately and seek for forgiveness. No Muslim must die with one or all the four mentioned bad behaviours.

Islam is a religion of knowledge and that is why the first revelation contained in the first five verses of chapter 96 to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon his noble soul) is about learning. No Muslim should give an excuse that seeking knowledge about Islam is just for Muslim scholars. Before a Muslim man marries, he should know the types or categories of women he is forbidden from marrying. Chapter 4, verse 27 of the Glorious Qur'an mentioned the categories of women as follows: 1. Your mothers (both biological and step mother) 2. Your daughters 3. Your sisters 4. Your father's sisters 5. Your mother's sisters 6. Your brothers' daughters 7. Your sisters' daughters 8. Your  foster mother who gave you suck 9. Your foster milk suckling sister 10. Your wives' mothers 11. Your step daughters under your guardianship, born of your wives to whom you have gone in 12. The wives of your sons 13. Two sisters at the same time.
