Federal President Ramadan Message

Dear brothers/sisters in Islam,

Assalamu Alaikum.
On the last day of one Sha’ban, Prophet Muhammad (upon him blessings and peace), gave a Khutbah about the upcoming month of Ramadan. It is a very important Khutbah that we should carefully read before every Ramadan to prepare ourselves mentally for the sacred month. It begins: “Oh people! A great month is coming to you. A blessed month. A month in which there is one night that is better than a thousand months. A month in which Allah has made it compulsory upon you to fast by day, and voluntary to pray by night. Whoever draws nearer to Allah by performing any of the voluntary good deeds in this month shall receive the same reward as is there for performing an obligatory deed at any other time.
And whoever discharges an obligatory deed in this month shall receive the reward of performing seventy obligations at any other time. It is the month of Sabr (patience), and the reward for sabr is Heaven. It is the month of kindness and charity. It is a month in which a believer’s sustenance is increased. Whoever gives food to a fasting person to break his fast, shall have his sins forgiven, and he will be saved from the Fire of Hell, and he shall have the same reward as the fasting person, without the latter’s reward being diminished at all.”
Therefore, Ramadan is the most important month of our calendar. It is a tremendous gift from Allah in so many ways. In our current state of being down and out, it can uplift us, empower us, and turn around our situation individually and collectively. It is the spring season for the garden of Islam when dry grass can come back to life and flowers bloom. But these benefits are not promised for lifeless and thoughtless rituals alone. They will be ours if our actions are informed by the message of Ramadan.
The most important message of Ramadan is that we are not just body. We are body and soul. And that what makes us human beings and that determines our value as human beings is the soul and not the body. During Ramadan we deprive the body to uplift the soul.

With this emotion, we like to educate and engage ourselves for the following actions:

  1. Read in abundance the Holy Quran:

    • - Try to complete the whole Quran with simple meaning (daily one para)

    • - Take your chair tightly to memorize the verses of Baqarah from 185 to 187

    • - Be determined to learn Quran with “Tertil”


  2. To enrich your knowledge on Ramadan, you may read “Ramadan & Taqwa by Mawlana Matiur Rahman”

  3. Maintain your nightly trips to Masjid for Taraweeh

  4. Attempt to find and utilize the Night of Power in the odd nights (at least) of the last 10 days

  5. Try to strengthen and sharpen our brotherhood during Ramadan


At last, we request all of you to be happy, attached with the Quran and Sunnah, and strong enough to
help the MCC leaders to move forward.
