In the name of Allah, the most Merciful, the most Kind
A blessed month is casting its shadow upon us
A night of this month is better than a thousand months
Bear with patience for the sake of Ar-Rahman
It’s a continuous training to strengthen our Imaan.
Glory be to Allah who sent Ramadan as a mercy to mankind
Its a purification of our soul, our heart, and our mind
With the most sincere devotion and love we fast
To be cleansed and free from sins of the past
Glorified is He, who choseth this holy month,
To test our sabr and fill our hearts with warmth
Of his Divine Light, His blessings shall glow,
The Seer of the unseen, all He does know
Ya Allah! For thee, let my breath be more pleasant than musk
Ya Allah! For thee, let me be thankful when day turns to dusk
My thoughts and heart are purified, my eyes truly see…
This blessed month, the month of spiritual rhapsody!
Ya Allah! For thee, my life I shall live!
Ya Allah! For thee, my soul I shall give!
In the name of Allah, the most Merciful, the most Kind,
Praise be to Allah, who sent Ramadan as a gift to mankind

Why fast in the month of Ramadhan?
It is manifestation of our obedience to Allah Almighty. Obliging to His command. It is the means to attain closeness to the Creator by leaving desires of flesh. Fasting is restraining self from what is usually halal in other days to train bodies to resist temptations from what is haram. Remember Allah more and more during the day and the night.
All of this hard work is for what?
Fasting makes one master of his/her desires instead of desires mastering humans. And this is to attain a level of piety (taqwa)-- puported goal of fasting in Quran.
So why taqwa is important?
The guidance from the Quran is for those who attain piety (taqwa). A muttaqi person is a receptacle of hidaya (guidance)-- "Hudal lil muttaqeen". Remember, success is for those who are guided -- "Ulaeka ala hudam mir rabbihim wa Ulaeka humul muflehoon".
So fast this Ramadhan with the understanding of becoming muttaqi.
