The Holy Month of Ramadan is now behind us. It was, without a doubt, a glorious month in which Muslims around the world performed the task of fasting for a whole month to obtain piety, Taqwa and blessings of Allah (SWT).As well as fasting,Ramadan is also meant to be spent doing as many good deeds as possible. Now that Ramadan has concluded though, people are adjusting back to their normal daily lives and already looking forward to next year for another opportunity to seek guidance and forgiveness.
In the month of Ramadan, people should consider the welfare of not only themselves but also of those all around. This is best done by thinking of all Muslims as a single brotherhood.
Instead of wasting money on worldly products during Ramadan, you should put the month to better use for the hereafter, spending your wealth in the way of Allah and solely to earn His pleasure.
During this Holy month, you should spend your wealth in such a way that you can attempt to purify it. Charity is a good place to start because you are rewarded for good deeds and in the month of Ramadan,
the reward for any good deed is multiplied by seventy. So a good deed such as feeding meals to the poor will be a deed worth a tremendous reward this Ramadan.
Ramadan is also the time of year that sees Muslims donate money most generously. As with all good deeds, such an act counts for more blessings during this month.
Money can be donated to relief aid agencies, charitable organisations and hospitals. These places are in dire need of any financial support you can offer because such funds allow them to save precious lives. Instead of money, Muslims can also donate blood to blood banks for Ramadan.
