Today is the first day of Holly month of Ramadan, and this is the Month of Quran, the Month of Taqwa, the Month of Prayers, the Month of Charity and the Month of Remembrance of Allah. This month provides a system to help us organize, struggle and liberate ourselves from the addictions, temptations and unbridled desires that sometimes drive our lives more than our thought out plans and good intentions. Ramadan is therefore a month for the spiritual and physical rejuvenation of oneself and the wise and fortunate amongst us are those that reap the most of what this month has to offer.
I advise muslim ummah, specially all Maldivian to avoid music, avoid haraam food, avoid mixing of two sexes, avoid all anti islamic activities during this month and in all other months of the year. Fast, read Quran, help each other, and try to make the best use of this opportunity to purify our souls!
I pray to Allah to show straight path and give Heaven to all my family memebrs, my dearly friends, and all muslims.
Here, I would like to extend all my good wishes and greetings of the holy month of Ramazan to all muslims across the world. Let this month be full of good deeds, and enhancement of all our ties with our family, neigbours and friends.
May Allah bless our nation and the muslims here in Maldives.
RAMADAN MUBARAK
