• 😀 Taqwa is the highest rank in Islam, achieved after being a Muslim, a believer (Mukmin), a sincere (Mukhlis), and a person of good deeds (Muhsin). The fifth and ultimate rank is being a Muttaqin (one who is truly God-conscious).
• 😀 Reaching the level of taqwa leads to a fulfilling and blessed life both in this world and the next. It also ensures that all of one’s prayers and desires are answered by Allah.
• 😀 This Ramadan is a rare opportunity, and we should strive to make the most of it by increasing our worship and good deeds. We may not be granted the chance to see another Ramadan.
• 😀 The verse from the Quran stresses that fasting is obligatory for believers, just as it was for those before them, to achieve taqwa.
• 😀 Fasting trains us and purifies us, helping us to develop into better versions of ourselves, prepared for the hereafter.
• 😀 It is essential to understand what nullifies fasting. Intentional eating, drinking, and other actions that break the fast must be avoided to preserve its rewards.
• 😀 Even if one fasts from dawn until sunset but engages in actions that invalidate the fast, they risk gaining only physical exhaustion (hunger and thirst) without any spiritual rewards.
