This morning Sheikh Waseem gave a talk on the virtues of Ramadan to our esteemed Ilm Program students. He mentioned the importance of fasting for a muslim, and pointing out that what we gain from the fast is Al-Taqwa ie. fear of Allah.
He encouraged students in the recitation of the Quran and completing the Khatam of the Quran. He shared the stories of great scholars who would recite 19 to 23 ajza`a in one day and at times they would complete the whole Quran .
Sheikh Waseem emphasized on the importance of Dua and spending time in the masjid for boys and praying in time, bringing the habit of praying Tahajjud, Salah ul Ishraq & Salah ul Duha.
Sheikh Waseem also emphasized on avoiding the use of mobile phones and Ipads during the month of Ramadan and to spend more time in building the relationship between us and Allah to come closer to Him.
Ilm students received a Ramadan tracker and a du'a sheet for them to recite in the month of Ramadan.
We request all Ilm students to make sincere du'a for themselves, their parents and their teachers during the blessed month of Ramadan. May Allah allow us all to witness Ramadan. Ameen.
