Deep dives
The importance of purification in Ramadan
Ramadan is not just about purifying our hearts, but also purifying our understanding. It is about cleansing our thoughts and our understanding of what Ramadan truly means.
The significance of the order of the Quran
The order of the Quran is not arbitrary. It is Allah's design. Just like every word and ayah has a specific place, the Ayat of Ramadan are placed in Surah Al-Baqarah for a reason.
Lessons from the hypocrites and the Israelites
The behavior of the hypocrites in Medina and the Israelites in their time demonstrates the dangers of having an artificial relationship with the religion. We should not only recite the Quran, but develop a genuine relationship with it and implement its teachings in our lives.
Renewing our connection to the Quran in Ramadan
During Ramadan, we should focus on renewing our connection to the Quran. We should seek a genuine understanding of the messages and teachings within the Quran, reflecting on its significance and applying its guidance to our lives.
Loyalty to Allah through loyalty to the Quran
Our loyalty to Allah is demonstrated through our loyalty to the Quran. Just as Ibrahim (as) showed unwavering loyalty to his Rub, we should strive to show the same loyalty to Allah through our sincere commitment to the Quran.
