    Ramadan 2022 – Day 11

    Ramadan 2022 – Day 9

    “The Prophet ﷺ said, ‘There is many a fasting person who has nothing from his fast except hunger’. The wording of the hadith is ‘many a fasting person’ so these are not in a minority. We really need to question ourselves, ‘Am I one of those?” – Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq

    Ramadan 2022 – Day 8

    “We have lost the tradition of hospitality. Before, people had nothing, but they showed great hospitality to guests, even to strangers; up to 3 days allowing them to stay at their home, to eat, drink and rest with nothing in return. These are the akhlāq that Islām has taught us. This is part of generosity.” – Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq

    “We should try to develop generosity in ourselves: generosity with our wealth, generosity with our emotions, generosity with our time, generosity with our friendships. Remember, not everyone needs money all the time. Let us look at some of these qualities and try to install these in ourselves. In fact, Ramaḍān is a good time to develop these qualities.” – Shaykh …

    Ramadan 2022 – Day 4

    “We often hear of the ṣaḥābah describing the Prophet ﷺ. But we shouldn’t just suffice with the description. We should strive to be like him, to follow in his footsteps. That is what the ṣaḥābah did out of their love for him.” – Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq

  • 4 April

    Ramadan 2022 – Day 3

    “The Prophet’s ﷺ relationship with the Qurʾān was threefold: 1. He would recite the verses to the people 2. He would teach the meaning of these verses to the people and 3.
