The month of Ramadhan offers a practical opportunity to innumerable lessons. It is a kind of programming for us to identify and remain on the ‘Straight Path’ of righteousness that calls for goods deeds and thoughts in all our life.
Even if no one is around, people do not eat anything because they know that Allah sees and hears everyone all the time.
Allah alone is sufficient as a witness in all our affairs. Allah alone is sufficient as a disposer of affairs in human life. In Allah alone everyone must repose his trust. All things return
to Allah. — Oman Arabic
