The jewel of the year's months and the most beautiful guest of the year has knocked on the door, announcing his arrival! If only all our loved ones were like Ramadan; no matter how days and destinies separate us, it returns just as a homing pigeon does, never missing an appointment, even if it knocks and finds no answer! Our ways of welcoming our dear guest differ, but I admit that exaggeration has become the master of the situation. Therefore, new ways to welcome my precious guest have sparked in my mind, and why not?! Despite his punctuality, he visits me only once, leaving behind a longing and nostalgia for the next meeting! Instead of racing against time to finish the Holy Quran twice or three times, I will read my daily portion and its interpretation with deep contemplation. And why not?! It is the constitution of my life and the plan for my faith and world, and no matter how much I read it, I have not plumbed its depths nor reached the miracle of its content! Instead of spending the whole night in prayer, I will pray what is easy for me, supplicate for my loved ones and companions, and use my time to perfect my work and serve those around me. For the foundation of religion is worship, knowledge, and action! And why not?! One of the signs of God's love for you is making you a support and help to others! And instead of hoarding food and purchases as if I am facing a famine in a land of plenty, why not spend the same budget on my family for what suffices them, and on a family that does not have enough?!
