Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 30701, member: 2262"] We thank God for helping us finish another blessed month of Ramadan. This special time teaches us many lessons about being better people. God mentions how important this month is right in the Quran. Muslims everywhere fast during Ramadan because God asks us to do this. We want to become more righteous and grow closer to God through our worship. Ramadan brings countless blessings. When we try hard to please God during this time, He guides us toward becoming better people. The Quran came down to earth during Ramadan, which explains why Muslims read it more often this month. We study it, listen to it, and try to understand its message about how we should live. The habits we build during Ramadan should continue all year long. For thirty days, we pray five times daily, fill mosques with our bodies, wake up at night for extra prayers, and read the Quran regularly. These good practices deserve our attention beyond just one month. We should keep visiting mosques instead of letting them sit empty. Our Qurans need regular reading rather than collecting dust on shelves. Charity is another important part of Ramadan. We care for poor people, help those without enough money, support orphans, and assist anyone struggling around us. These acts please God because they show compassion. Even after Ramadan ends, needy people still need help. Their hunger continues past the holiday, which means our giving should extend through every season. Prophet Muhammad increased both his worship and charity during Ramadan. He kept these practices going strong throughout the entire year until he died. Muslims should follow his example since God describes him as our best model. The spiritual growth we achieve during Ramadan must carry forward into the coming months rather than disappear once the celebrations finish. Remember that seeing this Ramadan does not guarantee seeing next year. Some friends who celebrated with us last year have died. That reality reminds us to maintain our highest moral standards every day. May God make things easy for all of us. I send warm greetings, love, and prayers from the Ahmadiyya Muslim leader, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, along with Eid Mubarak wishes from our community in The Gambia. May God accept everything we did during Ramadan. We pray He continues protecting our country and blesses everyone with peace, safety, prosperity, and stability across The Gambia. [/QUOTE]
