Abstract

If Allah grants us the opportunity to witness Ramadan, it is a profound manifestation of His mercy—an expression of His names Ar-Rahman and Ar-Raheem. Even the smallest acts are rewarded in immeasurable ways. It is said: Ramadan is like an ocean: Some merely gaze at its surface, Some wash their faces in its waves, Some sail across it, And some dive deep to retrieve its pearls. Our journey through Ramadan is determined by our efforts—whether they are exceptional, average, or minimal. Regardless, we place our trust in Allah’s acceptance. What Comes After Ramadan? Ramadan builds a fortress of faith—will we allow Shawwal to tear it down? Ramadan proves that with determination, we can grow, improve, and resist temptations. It refines our worship, polishes our character, and distances us from wrongdoing. Shawwal marks the beginning of the journey to uphold these virtues. Compared to last year, we can: Add new acts of worship, Work on eliminating a bad habit, Stay away from harmful addictions.
