Reflect

-What happened to the previous nations who abandoned the revelation sent to them. They fell into terrible sins and were destroyed.

-We should make a commitment with Qur’an that lasts us beyond this Ramadan

-The guidance in the Qur’an is universal/timeless

-Trust Allah more than our personal strength/abilities. We have limited powers and faculties. Nothing is impossible for Allah. He created and sustains the sky and the earth.

-Allah does not like wrongdoings.
