Ramadan Greetings

Bismillah, alhamdulillah.

I hope and pray that everyone is well.

Glad to have Ramadan here, a nice time to eat those lovely dishes at opening fast time, revel in sitting for hours staring at the television screen once we are back from taraweeh prayers. The constant infusion of food and drinks just in case we don’t wake up for sehri/suhoor. The hunt for the imam with the most beautiful voice so we can enjoy the melody of his voice rather than the melody of the meaning of what is being read.

The above paragraph is probably written in the Satanic Manual of Misguidance, probably page 1, important ways of misguiding the believer during Ramadan. Though there is probably some writing in red which has a warning printed on it, it may read: “Warning all jinn devils will be locked up, distribute this information to all human devils”.

The first taraweeh prayer here in Jeddah and the imam at the Shuaibee masjid pointed out that while the devils amongst the jinn were locked up their brethren from human kind were fully intent on mischief making and becoming more active. Special television series had been prepared with plots based on adultery and other evil to be beamed by satellite channel straight to the little mendacious box in the corner.

The imam did point out, that though the signals were unstoppable we were the people who had decided to buy the satellite receivers and televisions. He urged everyone who truly believes in Allah and His Messenger’s message to switch the television off and stop watching the filth that was pouring into our homes.

Sounds like good advice.
