WELCOME RAMADAN

The Muslim holy month of Ramadan is once again upon us.  My Muslim friends, colleagues, students and blog visitors will start their fast today.

I take this opportunity to send this message to welcome Ramadan:

Welcome Ramadan

Ramadan is the month when the devils are chained,

the gates of hell are closed and those of paradise are opened.

It's the month the holy prophet used to pray to witness.

It's the blessed month of Ramadhan.

Therefore my friends, it's the time to

Walk humbly

Talk politely

Dress neatly

Treat kindly

Pray attentively

Donate generously

May Allah shower his blessings and

grant you forgiveness in this holy month.
