Ramadan is not just a month we “get through”—it is a guest we host. In this powerful reminder, Shaykh Riad Saloojee explains how Ramadan arrives with a premium gift: taqwa—a strengthened heart that protects us from what Allah dislikes and moves us toward what Allah loves.

We explore the spirit and reality of fasting (not just hunger and thirst), the barakah effect of Ramadan—where good becomes easier and spiritual growth accelerates—and a practical 10-point Ramadan wird (routine) to help us plan a Ramadan that truly transforms us.
