Our Prophet (pbuh) said, "My Ummah are granted five gifts that no prophet before me had been given... 4th Gift: Allah commands Paradise saying, 'Be prepared & adorned for My servants; they are about to be relieved from the pains of the worldly life & move to My Home & Honor.'
Indeed, Ramadan is a time for Muslims to focus on self-evaluation and spiritual purification; it also teaches us that achieving the ultimate goal of fasting requires sincerity, honesty, patience and above all the capability for self-criticism.
Ramadan gives us a time to mend troubled self-images; to give charity, to grow forgiveness for others, and to renew relations with family, friends, and colleagues.
