NOTE: These points have been contributed by Shamsiya. She received them in an email forwarded to her by one of her friends. Sisterly Yours takes the opportunity to thank the person who compiled and elaborated the points, may Allah (swt) reward you. The original written paragraphs (in quotations) and an elaborative commentary by Sisterly Yours shall both be available in our entries on Ramadan Wreckers.
There are 20 Ramadan Wreckers (as named by Sisterly Yours) that we received in the email from Shamsiya. Each day, in our segment "The Better Me: Ramadan Special," I'll be discussing one Ramadan Wrecker, inshAllah.
Ramadan Wrecker #01 - Taking Ramadan As A Ritual
"For many of us Ramadhaan has lost its spirituality and has become more of a ritual ( Stereotyped behaviour) than a form of Ibaadah. We fast from morning to night like a zombie (living dead) just because everyone around us is fasting too. We forget that its a time to purify our hearts and our souls from all evil. We forget to make Dua, forget to beseech Allah to forgive us and ask Him to save us from the Fire. Sure we stay away from food and drink but that’s about all?"
