Allāh does not only look to our actions, but also more importantly, to our intentions. We should never overlook or belittle even the smallest good deed.

Nabi Yusuf (Joseph) was thrown down a well, but his faith and perseverance brought him up to the throne of the land. Now that we have celebrated Eid, let us not throw Ramaḍhān down the well of our past misdeeds.

How can we benefit most from The Night of Power, Lailatul Qadr? The Quran tells us that worship and good deeds during this night is worth more than 1,000 months, that’s 83 years, a whole lifetime! We know that this Night is one of the last 10 nights of Ramadan. If we are to spread our best deeds, our charity, our prayers and Dhikr (loving Remembrance of Allah’s 99 Beautiful Names) over these last 10 nights, we are sure hit the target and maximise the benefit of our worship…
