Ramazan fasting is meant to rejuvenate a Muslim as a person

Eman Sakina Fasting in Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. Therefore it’s pretty important as pillars hold up a building. Without the pillars, the building will fall.

With every hardship, comes ease

Eman Sakina We usually think: with every hardship comes ease. But this is not very accurate. Allah says: “Verily, along with (the) hardship is a relief. Verily, along with (the) hardship is a relief.” [Ash-Sharh 94: 5-6] Meaning, there is 1 hardship but with 2 reliefs. So, the correct understanding is: With every hardship, we get double the ease. Friday Musings Look at the life of P...
