📖 “O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may attain Taqwa (consciousness of Allah).” (Quran 2:183)
Fasting isn’t just about staying away from food and drink — it’s about training the heart, soul, and body to obey Allah’s laws. 💕
🗣️ Control Your Tongue – Speak only what pleases Allah: no gossip, lies, or harsh words.
👀 Guard Your Eyes – Avoid watching what’s forbidden; focus on what brings you closer to Allah.
👂 Protect Your Ears – Stay away from listening to falsehood and negativity.
🌙 Ramadan: The Month of the Quran
This blessed month is the time to revise the Quran and Allah’s laws. It’s a 30-day bootcamp to build self-control, discipline, and strengthen our connection with Allah.
💪 But It Doesn’t End Here!
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us to continue this practice all year:
🌱 Fast on Mondays and Thursdays
🌱 Fast on the 13th, 14th, and 15th of every lunar month
🌱 Fast on any occasion to stay connected with Allah’s guidance
🌟 Fasting Builds Taqwa
It’s not about hunger — it’s about reviving our hearts and souls, learning self-restraint, and aligning every action with Allah’s pleasure.
🕊️ Let fasting be your path to spiritual growth, not just in Ramadan, but all year long.
Reflection on Surah Al Baqarah Verse 186
Reflection on Quran Surah Al-Baqarah (2:186) emphasizes the profound connection between human existence and our relationship with Allah:
“When My servants ask you concerning Me, I am indeed near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.”
This verse underscores Allah’s closeness and His readiness to respond to our prayers.
Recognizing Allah’s omnipresence means understanding that every aspect of our being—our actions, thoughts, and even our physiological functions—are under His knowledge and command. Our bodies operate through the sustenance He provides: water, minerals, and vitamins. The soul, a divine gift, animates us; without it, our physical form ceases to function. This intrinsic dependency on Allah should cultivate a consciousness (taqwa) that guides our senses and actions.
Islam teaches that humans possess an innate disposition (fitra) towards recognizing and worshipping Allah. This natural inclination aligns with our purpose and ensures harmony in our lives. However, neglecting this consciousness can lead to actions driven by personal whims rather than divine guidance, resulting in spiritual and moral consequences.
In essence, acknowledging Allah’s constant presence encourages us to align our lives with His will, leading to inner peace and fulfillment. Understanding that every single cell, tissue, and body part’s survival is in the hands of Allah is both a spiritual and scientific truth. Defying Allah’s will, despite this understanding, reflects a lack of wisdom. Many people suffer from ailments like cancer and other hardships, never anticipating such tests. It is Allah who grants life in the mother’s womb, allowing cells to grow and sustain. He possesses the power to give us life after death and will question how we utilized our bodies in accordance with His will.
Furthermore, the Qur’an emphasizes the importance of humility and gratitude towards Allah’s creation. In Surah Luqman (31:20), it is mentioned:
“Do you not see that Allah has made subject to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth and amply bestowed upon you His favors, [both] apparent and unapparent?” 
This verse reminds us of the countless blessings bestowed upon us and the responsibility to use them wisely, in accordance with Allah’s guidance.
May we always be conscious of Allah’s presence and strive to live in a manner that reflects our gratitude and submission to His will.
