O believers! Fasting is prescribed for you—as it was for those before you—so perhaps you will become mindful of Allah. [Surah al-Baqarah, 183]
Fasting was legislated in 2 AH in the month of Sha’ban. The Prophet ﷺ fasted nine complete Ramadans in his lifetime as per the consensus of the scholars. Pause. Reflect for a moment. Many of those reading this might have fasted more Ramadans than those fasted by our beloved Messenger ﷺ. Allah has given us the opportunity to benefit from another Ramadan. Do we truly appreciate this blessing of Allah? Are we ready to make the most of this month?
