“As long as your heart is beating, you have a purpose. God is intentional, so He does not keep anyone on Earth that doesn’t have to be here; if we are blessed with more life, it is because someone in the world needs us. If we are alive, it means that what we were sent to this Earth to create has not yet been accomplished.”
― A. Helwa, Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam

“Praise belongs to God who appointed among those roads His month, the month of Ramadan, the month of fasting, the month of submission, the month of purity, the month of putting to test, the month of standing in prayer, in which the Quran was sent down as guidance to the people, and as clear signs of the Guidance and the Separator.”
― Imam Zayn Al 'Abidin Al-Sahifat Al-Sajjadiyya, The Psalms of Islam - English version

“Tomorrow is the start of Ramadan, a month of daily fasting, broken by an iftar, a special meal after sunset and a bite before sunrise. Han has told her that the idea behind the fast of Ramadan is to remind everyone of the poor and less fortunate, a time of charity, compassion, abstinence, and forgiveness. And even though Um-Nadia claims to have no religion and many of their customers are Christians, they all like to eat the traditional foods prepared throughout the Middle East to celebrate the nightly fast-breaking during Ramadan. There are dishes like sweet qatayif crepes and cookies and creamy drinks and thick apricot nectar.”
― Diana Abu-Jaber, Crescent

“In Arabic, the word fitna, meaning “hardship,” stems from the word fatanah, which means “to test gold, burn with fire.” Just as gold is heated to extract valuable elements from the useless surrounding material, it is through the fire of our trials that our golden essence is unearthed.”
― A. Helwa, Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam

“1 SHA’BAN


Did you know that 6 month prior to Ramadan the Sahaba’s used to make du’a to Allah that He would let them reach Ramadan. After Ramadan they used to make du’a for 6 month that Allah would accept their fasting and good deeds.
Today is the first day of Sha’ban and Ramadan is not too far off. You might be wondering where the time has gone, and might feel a bit overwhelmed or even afraid of the long hours of fasting. You might also be asking yourself, “what have I done so far to prepare myself for this blessed month?”
Many times we focus too much on the aspect of planning our meals for this month, but Ramadan is not the month of cooking, it is the month when the Quran was sent down, a month of worship. So let’s put the menu planning on the side, and prioritize on how we can prepare our hearts for this glorious month.
Something you can start right now is to follow the Sahaba’s example and make that same du’a until we reach Ramadan.
“Allahumma Balighna Ramadan”
“Oh Allah let us reach Ramadan”

“Emak merasa gembira ketika ia memasak untuk banyak orang. Ada rasa bahagia yang tak terbeli dan bisa menawarkan rasa lelah. (Sangu Cangkedong, Rima RL)”
― Dian Nafi, Once More Ramadhan

“Ramadan is not fasting. Ramadan is an Islamic feast where one stuffs oneself twice a day with food, and in between lets ones intestines dry out. To describe that process as 'fasting' seems rather ubiquitous to me. The amount of food transported into the body is probably exactly the same, but because of the dehydration the food is processed less effectively. As customs go, most customs are typically silly and Ramadan is no exception. I can accept such silliness when people keep it to themselves, but unfortunately one sees such a sharp rise in 'policing' others that even non Muslims are now experiencing violence because they are eating at daytime in the Ramadan period.”
― Martinus Hendrikus Benders

“[…] Les interdits dans notre religion – c'est pourquoi elle est extrêmement souple et simple – ne sont pas épais comme le Larousse. Ils portent uniquement sur les critères de bonnes mœurs. Par exemple, durant le ramadan, personne ne peut savoir si vous jeûnez ou pas, vous pouvez parfaitement manger chez vous ; en revanche, un musulman qui déjeune dans un restaurant porte atteinte à l'ordre public. Dans certains pays, on était arrivé à une véritable provocation, comme en Tunisie. Bourguiba, qui n'était pourtant pas un anarchiste, dans un attachement excessif à la laïcité que je ne m'explique pas, a demandé aux gens de ne plus faire le ramadan. C'était incroyable. Il invitait, durant cette période, des gens à déjeuner chez lui, ou encore il forçait ses soldats à aller prendre des verres de jus d'orange à midi. Voilà des atteintes à l'ordre public et aux bonnes mœurs.”
― Hassan II, ذاكرة ملك

“Just as clouds cannot affect the presence and power of the sun’s light, but can alter our experience of the intensity of the light, sin can veil our perception of our inner goodness, but it cannot change it.”
― A. Helwa, Secrets of Divine Love: A Spiritual Journey into the Heart of Islam

“Sonnet of Festivals

Christmas isn't about the decorations,
It's about compassion.
Hanukkah isn't about the sufganiyot,
It's about amalgamation.
Ramadan isn't about the feast,
It's about affection.
Diwali isn't about the lights,
It's about ascension.
Our world is filled with festivals,
But what do they really mean?
Celebrating them with cultural exclusivity,
Makes us not human but savage fiend.
Every festival belongs to all of humanity,
For happiness has no religious identity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, I Vicdansaadet Speaking: No Rest Till The World is Lifted

“BORN FROM DIFFERENT RELIGION OF HUMAN COME TOGETHER AS BROTHERS, THAT’S THE HEAVEN OF GOD, RAMADAN KAREEM”
