The Sheikh, Dr. Muḥammad ibn Ghālib Al-‘Umarī (حفظه الله) said:

Come upon Ramadan with [your] hearts showing mercy to one another, for it’s from a lack of self-awareness that:

• you hope for mercy while you haven’t shown [it yourself];
• you crave for forgiveness while you [yourself] haven’t forgiven;
• you yearn for acceptance and approval, while you [yourself] can’t get past your grudges.

Make [your] hearts embrace each other with love and mercy for one another—that is [far] greater than [false] embraces that harbor hatred and loathing.

This month of yours is a guest that’s just passing through. Its days are numbered; its nights, limited. Show Allah, then, what’s in your hearts of goodness.

And call to mind the saying of the One who created you:

{ فَمَنْ عَفَا وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ }

“So whoever forgives and reconciles, his reward is [established] upon Allah.” (Ash–Shuraa, 40)

May Allah ﷻ forgive us.

Aameen!
