#RamadanDailyDigest: The Fasting Person’s Du’a - What the Prophet ﷺ Taught Us (Ramadan Day 4)

On Ramadan Day 4, #RamadanDailyDigest will explain how the rhythm of fasting begins to settle into the heart. Hunger becomes familiar. Thirst becomes manageable. However, beyond physical endurance lies one of Ramadan’s greatest treasures - Du’a (supplication to Allah). Ramadan is not only the month of fasting, but also the month of answered prayers. The teachings of the Prophet ﷺ stresses that the fasting person occupies a unique spiritual position before Allah. Their humility, restraint, and sincerity elevate their du’a to a special status. The Promise of an Accepted Du’a The Prophet ﷺ said: “Three supplications are not rejected: the supplication of the fasting person, the supplication of the just ruler, and the supplication of the oppressed.” (Tirmidhi graded this Hadith authentic) This hadith alone should change our mindset on how we approach every day of Ramadan.

#RamadanDailyDigest: Ramadan & the Qur’an - Why Its Revelation Makes This Month Special (Ramadan Day 3)

 #RamadanDailyDigest on Ramadan Day 3 draws us deeper into the heart of this holy month. Beyond the fasting, charity, and night prayers, Ramadan holds a distinction that elevates it above all other 11 months: it is the month in which the Glorious Qur’an was revealed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. This divine connection between the sacred month of Ramadan and the Glorious Qur'an is what makes the month spiritually transformative, historically significant, and eternally relevant. The Qur’anic Declaration: Ramadan Chosen for Revelation Allah clearly states in the Glorious Qur’an 2:185 that: “The month of Ramadan is that in which the Qur’an was revealed, is a guidance for mankind and clear proof of guidance and criterion (between right and wrong)....... ” The above verse alone establishes Ramadan’s unmatched status. The Glorious Qur’an was not revealed randomly in time, but was revealed in the most blessed month, signifying the month’s sacredness. READ THIS TOO: #RamadanDailyDigest: Does Slee...

#RamadanDailyDigest: Does Sleeping During Ramadan Benefit the Body? (Ramadan Day 2)

On Ramadan Day 2, #RamadanDailyDigest will reveal how fasting Muslims begin adjusting to a new feeling of waking before dawn for suhoor, praying Fajr, fasting through the day (from Fajr till sunset), and standing at night for Tahajjud prayer.  Naturally, fatigue will likely set in for any Muslim who does all the aforementioned acts of worship. This therefore raises an important question: Does sleeping during Ramadan while fasting benefit the body, and is it spiritually encouraged in Islam? The answer lies in balance, guided by the Glorious Qur'an, the Sunnah, the understanding of the four Madhabs, and modern health science. 1. Sleep in the Qur’an: A Divine Mercy Allah says in the Glorious Qur’an (30:23): “And among His signs is your sleep by night and by day and your seeking of His bounty. Indeed in that there are signs for people who listen.” Sleep itself is described as a sign of Allah’s mercy; a gift that restores the body and mind. Islam does not glorify exhaustion for its own...

#RamadanDailyDigest: Wisdom Behind Fasting - Qur’anic Purpose & Spiritual Goals (Ramadan Day 1)

#RamadanDailyDigest is more than talking about abstaining from food and drink, but the beginning of a spiritual journey from Ramadan Day 1.  For Muslims, the first fast marks a conscious step into a month of transformation, discipline, and nearness to Allah. But what is the real wisdom behind fasting? Why did Allah prescribe it? The answer is beautifully captured in the Glorious Qur’an . The Qur’anic Purpose of Fasting Allah says in Qur'an 2:183: “O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may attain taqwa.” READ THIS TOO : #RamadanDailyDigest: Have You Fed A Fasting Muslim? The verse clearly defines the ultimate goal of fasting is taqwa (God-consciousness). Fasting is not meant to punish the body, but to awaken the soul. From Ramadan Day 1, a Muslim intentionally refrains from halal (permissible) food, drink, and marital relations, not because they are sinful, but because Allah commanded restraint during specific hours....
