Ramadhān: A Gift For Every Heart

As the blessed month of Ramadhān approaches, it’s natural to feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. We may wish we had prepared better, planned more, or feel that we are falling short of the expectations we set for ourselves. But this is life—a constant balance between what we hope for and what actually unfolds.

Before allowing disappointment to take hold, we must remind ourselves of a profound truth from the Qur’ān:

“There is no activity you may be engaged in or portion of the Quran you may be reciting, nor any deed you may be doing except that We are a Witness over you while doing it.”

(Qur’an 10:61)

This is a reminder that even when no one sees the effort we put in—even when we ourselves forget—Allah sees. He is fully aware of every struggle, every silent prayer, and every attempt, no matter how small.

This is a message for those feeling exhausted before Ramadhān has even begun.

For those wondering how they will balance life, work, and worship.

For those entering a new season of life, where responsibilities weigh heavier than before.

For those who fear they won’t experience Ramadhān the way they once did.

But just as this Ayah is for all of us, so is Ramadhān.

Ramadhān is for the unprepared, the sinner, the exhausted—just as much as it is for the pious and the knowledgeable. It is not reserved for a select few; it is an open invitation for all hearts to return to Allah, to heal, to renew, and to strive.

Allah does not expect perfection—only sincerity.

So let us embrace Ramadhān with hearts full of hope. Let us take this opportunity to deepen our connection with Allah and allow this month to be a time of purification, mercy, and transformation.

May we all honour Ramadhān in the way it deserves, seizing each moment as a chance to draw closer to Allah. May our efforts, however small, be accepted. May this month be a source of light, healing, and endless barakah in our lives.

May every prayer whispered, every sin left behind, and every step taken for His sake weigh heavy on our scales. May angels accompany us in our tasks, and most of all, may Allah gaze upon us with His pleasure and mercy.

May Allah grant you a blessed Ramadhān filled with barakah, aafiyah, forgiveness, and nearness to Him.

Ameen.
