Is it food or money for Zakatul Fitr?

Zakatul Fitr also referred to as Sadaqatul-Fitr is an obligatory charity that is done at the conclusion of the fasting month of Ramadan. This form of charity is due on every person who has sufficient means to maintain himself and his family beyond the day and night of Eid and it must be paid on behalf of every member of one’s family including infants.

Dealing with my sapping energy halfway through Ramadan

We are halfway through Ramadan when our energies are sapping, our routine falling apart and our resolve declining in sheer helplessness. Ramadan’s midway slump requires an invigoration of enthusiasm in order to pick ourselves up and dominate our souls once again.

As the last days of Ramadan approach, no doubt many of us are feeling guilty of how our last 15 days passed with so many of our spiritual target unmet. That feeling will emotionally torment any honourable believer who has always been on top of his spiritual alacrity.

Dealing with common cold during Ramadan

Colds and flu are like grass snakes, they are not harmful as such but they have the potential to nail you down onto your bed for days or for some few weeks depending on the strength of your immune system. They are not lethargic like cancer, but they are perturbing and embarrassing especially when you are having a running nose coupled with an expectant cough.

Ramadan 2024: The power and blessing of dates

Dates play a crucial role in daily diets, but they become especially significant during Ramadan. These nutritious fruits not only mark the beginning of most worshippers’ iftar meals but are also incorporated into various desserts traditionally made during the holy month. Dates thrive extensively, with the UAE alone cultivating 160 varieties of the fruit. Additionally, the consumption of dates by Muslims mirrors the dietary habits of the Messenger of Allah  (PBUH).

Ramadan is back!!!

Let’s try to gain all the spiritual benefits of this holy month. Fasting is a lesson in patience and self-control. It builds strong will power, sincerity and devotion as it gives us the strength to overcome our human cravings and temptations and restore the command of our souls over our bodies. It feeds the soul with freedom, dignity and awe. It gives us peace, serenity and devotion.
