Ramadan Mubarak
The moon has been sighted,
and with it comes a quiet chance to begin again.
Ramadan is not only the month of fasting,
it is the month of mercy,
the month where broken hearts return home,
and tired souls are welcomed by Allah.
We enter this month weak…
with hearts that carry pain,
with prayers waiting to be heard,
and with hope we barely know how to hold.
So we raise our hands and say:
“O Allah, I come to You weak and with a broken heart.
Mend my affairs and heal my heart.
O Allah, bless me in Ramadan and make it a month of transformation and growth in my life.
O Allah, increase my closeness to You and fill my heart with faith and contentment.
O Allah, assist me in observing its fast and standing in prayer,
and make me among those whom You free from the Fire.
O Allah, I am in need of You,
so do not leave me to myself even for the blink of an eye. Ameen.”
Ramadan is the month of whispered duas before suhoor,
the month of accepted prayers at iftar,
the month where hunger teaches patience
and prayer teaches peace.
When we break our fast,
we are not only breaking hunger,
we are breaking the distance between us and Allah.
When we stand in prayer,
we are standing with our fears,
our sins,
and our longing to be better.
This is the month of healing.
The month of light.
The month of return.
O Allah,
cleanse what the world has made heavy,
soften what life has made hard,
and bring us closer to You than we have ever been.
Let this Ramadan be the one
that changes us quietly,
mends us gently,
and fills our hearts with peace.
Ramadan is here…
and so is hope.
Ramadan Mubarak to every soul seeking nearness to Allah
Ameen.
