Month of patience, reward ends today

It is a month of patience and reward; a month of sympathy with one’s fellow men.

It is a month where a believer’s faith is increased. God decorates the Heaven during this month.

The month has three parts.

The first brings God’s mercy.

The second brings His forgiveness.

The third brings emancipation from Hell.

During Ramadan there is one night known as “Lailatul Qadr” or a night for great blessings and spiritual value.

The Quran was revealed on this night. Angels and the spirit descend by God’s permission. The month ends today with the celebration of Eid. May we all have a blessed Eid ul-Fitr. May Allah guide us, have mercy on us, protect us, give us His grace and forgive us.
