With Ramadan fast approaching, SeekersHub Global wants to aid you and your loved ones in meeting the goals of this noble month.

That’s why we’ve compiled a simple, three-step video guide on how to make the most of Ramadan.

These three steps are the keys to right guidance in any matter: knowledge, sincerity, and action.

(1) Knowledge:  Fiqh of Fasting: How to Make Your Fast Last – Shaykh Faraz Rabbani

• The verses on fasting Ramadan are only four: Surat al Baqara verses 183-187. Reflect on these verses
• The spiritual purpose of fasting is to attain imindfulness, thankfulness, and magnification of Allah which results in realization of His closeness
• The validity of our fasts rests on abstaining from a few permissible things. It does not rest on staying away from all that is impermissible. This is a mercy from Allah Most High.

(2) Sincerity and Love : The Stations of Those Who Love Allah – Habib Umar bin Hafiz

• People become enraptured in their love for creation, but as Allah Most High tells us “those who believe are more intense in their love of Allah”
• A sign of loving Allah, and of Allah’s loving His servant, is that the servant loves the remembrance of Allah
• We must strive to make our fasts an expression of our love of Allah

(3) Action: Finding Allah Through Fasting – Dr. Umar Abd-Allah and Seeking Allah: The Many Ways to Beloved States – Habib Kadhim al-Saqqaf

•  We were created to worship God through acts such as fasting
• We must prioritize our acts of worship according to the Divine command. Obligatory acts come first
• Allah and His Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) have told us what leads to the love of Allah — of actions, words, and states
• We should strive in this month to leave sin, and inculcate virtue
