A duaa from my heart to yours...

Assalamu alaykum,

To the hopeful soul preparing to embrace the blessed month of Ramadan, this duaa is for you...

May Al-Lateef (اللطيف), The Most Gentle, cradle your heart in His care, ease your burdens and fill your soul with tranquillity and light.

May Al-Ghafoor (الغفور), The All-Forgiving, forgive any past shortcomings and magnify every good deed you perform, compensating for what might have been left undone.

May Ash-Shakoor (الشكور), The Most Appreciative, make your smallest efforts weigh heavy on the scale of good deeds and elevate your sincerity in every act.

May As-Sami' (السميع), The All-Hearing, hear your whispered duaas, whether uttered aloud or silently in the depths of your heart and may He, Al-Mujeeb (المجيب), The One Who Responds, answer them in ways far beyond what you could ever imagine.

May Al-Wakeel (الوكيل), The Trustee, relieve the weight on your shoulders and transform your trials into pathways of light, joy and strength.

May Al-Afuw (العفو), The Pardoner, grant you the honour of catching Laylatul Qadr and wipe your slate clean, leaving no trace of sins.

May Ar-Razzaq (الرزاق), The Provider, bless you with sustenance in this life and the next and may your heart rest in contentment with His divine decree, in every test and triumph.

May Al-Mateen (المتين), The Firm One, grant you steadfastness in your actions and guide your heart to follow in the footsteps of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) with sincerity and resolve.

As you enter this sacred month, may you be reformed, refined and elevated in the sight of Allah through every effort, no matter how small. May your heart be cleansed, your soul illuminated and may you emerge from Ramadan stronger in faith and more beloved to Allah SWT.

And finally, I pray that Allah grants us all the immense honour of witnessing this special month and many more Ramadans to come, with each one better and more blessed than the last.

Allahumma ameen ya rabbal aalameen.
