Bismillah Hir Rahman Nir Rahim

Asalamunalaikum

We have once again come to the Holy Moth of Ramadhan. A Month that is identified as the month where all our supplications are accepted by the Almighty. It is the Holiest Month in the whole calendar.

First and foremost I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to the families of those who have lost one or more of their near and dear ones since the Last Ramadhan. To them I say that I do understand the grief and emptiness that this month brings as I share similar experience with you. However I attempt to console myself with the belief that the Almighty Allah is the Planner of Planners and no matter how empty it may make one feel, his plans are always for the better.

I also wish to take this opportunity to extend my hearty congratulations to our 12^th Imam (Imam Hujjat – May Allah hasten his reappearance) and to all the members of our community for being able to once again experience the piety of the Month of Ramadhan.

Ramadhan gives us an opportunity to re awaken our spiritual self and go through a process of realization. Realization of what our faith, which is without a doubt the true faith, has prescribed for us in this world.

Ramadhan emphasis to us that we are indeed in transition in this world and it is the month of Ramadhan that will give us the opportunity to cleanse ourselves and be well prepared for the hereafter.

Brothers and sisters, I wish and pray that all of you have a wonderful and fruitful month and that all your Duaas are accepted.

With Salaams and Duaas
