Ramadan is almost here


Ramadan is just a couple of weeks away. Preparing mentally and physically for the month of bliss. Here's a thought for you.

The Prophet Muhammed (Peace be upon him) encouraged his followers to pray thus during the months of Rajab and Sha'ban:

 " اللهم بارك لنا في رجب وشعبان وبلغنا رمضان "


(Allahumma barik lana fi Rajab wa Sha’ban wa ballighna Ramadan)

O Allah! Make the months of Rajab and Sha’ban blessed for us, and let us reach the month of Ramadan (i.e. prolong our life up to Ramadan, so that we may benefit from its merits and blessings)
[Narrated by at-Tabarani and Ahmad]
