Turning Back to Allah Before Ramadan Arrives

As we wait in eager anticipation for the arrival of our noble guest—the blessed month of Ramadan—we begin preparing both physically and spiritually.

 Allah calls the believers:

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

“O you who have believed, fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may attain righteousness.”

(Qur’an, Al-Baqarah 2:183)

And He reminds us of the honor of this month:

شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَـٰتٍ مِّنَ ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَٱلْفُرْقَانِ ۚ فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ ٱلشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ

“The month of Ramadan is that in which the Qur’an was revealed—a guidance for humanity and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever witnesses the month, let him fast it.”

(Qur’an, Al-Baqarah 2:185)

Ramadan is the month of the Qur’an, the month of mercy, forgiveness, and nearness to Allah. Preparing for Ramadan begins now—by turning our hearts back to the Qur’an, renewing sincere intentions, and taking small, steady steps toward worship. Even the simplest effort today can open the door to a deeply blessed Ramadan tomorrow.
