“Ramaḍân is the month in which the Quran was revealed as a guide for humanity with clear proofs of guidance and the decisive authority. So whoever is present this month, let them fast….” (Quran 2:185)
Assalamu Alaikum, dear Garden College community,
Alhamdulillah, we are blessed to witness the arrival of Ramadan, a month filled with mercy, forgiveness, and countless blessings. In a special video message, our beloved Sheikh AbdulSalam Alim, our Quranic and Islamic Studies teacher and mentor, reminds us of the profound significance of this sacred month.
Sheikh AbdulSalam Alim emphasizes the importance of self-discipline, spiritual reflection, and acts of kindness during this blessed month. He encourages us to intensify our prayers, engage in acts of charity, and seek forgiveness for our shortcomings.
In his message, Sheikh AbdulSalam Alim also urges us to remember our brothers and sisters across the globe who may be facing challenges. Let’s unite in prayer for the well-being of all, asking Allah to alleviate their struggles and grant them strength.
Let us make the most of this opportunity for spiritual growth, self-improvement, and drawing closer to Allah. May our fasts be accepted, our prayers answered, and our hearts filled with gratitude.
“When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of heaven are opened, and the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained.” (Sahih Bukhari)
May Allah shower His blessings upon us all during this holy month! Ramadan Kareem!
