Alhamdulillah we completed the first day of Ramadhan. Ramadhan is the month of the Quran. We fast the entire month to show our gratitude for the gift of the Quran. Reading Surah Kahf is our way of celebrating Friday.
شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِّنَ الْهُدَىٰ وَالْفُرْقَانِ ۚ فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ
The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. (Quran, Al Baqarah 2:185)
Quran is the Truth. The Truth is not in need of people but people are in need of the Truth. We need to adjust ourselves to the Truth. Many of us are very fake in the lives that we live. When we look at our own selves, the nafs is the ultimate imposter. It is only to the extent that we overcome the fakeness of our souls, which wants us to cling to this world, that we open up our heart to the Truth, and we start to embrace that Truth and live by that Truth, little by little we can become as-Siddiq (the truthful). After Prophets, the greatest rank we can attain is As-Siddiqqun.
Let's spend most of our time this Ramadhan with the Quran. Strive to connect with the Quran seriously—to start learning the meanings and the vocabulary, so the meanings start opening up to us.
May Allah make us of the Siddiqqun. May Allah make the Quran the spring of our hearts and removal of our distress and concerns. May Allah enable us to dedicate our lives to the Quran and service of the Quran, and live the meanings of the Quran. Aameen.
