The rewards of the A’mals (deeds) are based upon its completion. Hence, we should spend the final stages of Ramadhaan most productively.
Having observed the fasts of Ramadhaan amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, we have reached the last few days of this blessed Month. While we pray for quick relief from the impact of this virus and restoration of normalcy in our livelihoods, during this Holy Month of Ramadhaan, we request everyone to follow the below guidelines:
- The last part of Ramadhaan is in which most virtues could be acquired. Therefore, everyone should engage in good deeds excessively during this period, while remaining at homes.
- Gatherings at Masjids for acts of worship during these few days should be completely avoided and the related guidelines issued by the Waqf Board and the Department of Muslim Religious and Cultural Affairs (MRCA) should be followed.
- In such vulnerable situations the Islamic religious guidance is to adhere to the guidelines of the Health authorities and the Muslim community should follow them in an exemplary manner. Unless for essential needs, leaving the homes should be avoided and if required to go out, it is necessary to abide by the guidelines issued by the Health authorities such as wearing a face mask and maintaining social distance.
- Those upon whom Zakathul Fitr is obligatory, should ensure to offer them prior to the performance of the Eid Prayer.
May Almighty Allah accept our good deeds and fasts, Aameen.
