Essentials of Ramadan

The Month of Fasting

Tajuddin B. Shuaib

#Essentials of Ramadan : [O You who Believe, fear Allah. And let every soul look to what it has sent on for tomorrow.

Fear Allah, surely #Allah is well-acquainted with what you do.

And do not be like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget their own souls.

Such are the rebellious transgressors.]

(Al-Hashr 59:18-19)
