In this month of Ramadan where many Muslims around the world are fasting in devotion to God, Asma Bint Shameem shares with us common mistakes that people make during this period.
Mistake #1: Taking Ramadan as a ritual
For many of us Ramadan has lost its spirituality and has become more of a ritual than a form of Ibaadah (worship). We fast from morning to night like a zombie just because everyone around us is fasting too. We forget that it’s a time to purify our hearts and our souls from all evil; we forget to make Dua (prayer); we forget to beseech Allah to forgive us, and ask Him to save us from the Fire. Sure, we stay away from food and drink, but that’s about all.
