SABA will send an email regarding the moonsighting as soon as it can be confirmed.Greetings from Maulana Abidi For Ramadhan 1stDear brothers and sisters, Congratulations on this holy month of Ramadhan. May this month give us the best of bounties, blessings, and forgiveness of Allah (SWT).There was no reports of moon sighting; therefore, tomorrow (Friday, July 20th) is the last day of Sha'ban, and the month of Ramadhan will begin on Saturday July 21, 2012. In order to make the best of the Shahru Ramadhan, it is important to keep in mind the following message: We are all aware that Allah (SWT) never leaves his creation without guidance and means to achieve perfection. In order to be on the straight path, one must follow the guidance of a guide who makes sure that the person never goes astray. Allah (SWT) with his kindness and mercy granted to us the holy and infallible guides, the Ahlulbait (AS), and gave us guidance through them. He also granted us opportunities in order to rid our vices and strengthen our faith so that we can properly follow our guides. This month is one of those opportunities that should not be taken as granted. Allah (SWT) mentions in the holy Qur'an: "Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong)." (2:185) The fact that the Holy Qu'ran was revealed on this holy month shows us the significance of this month just like the significance of Imam Ali was proven through his birth in the Ka'ba. For this reason, Allah (SWT) tells us that the fact that Qu'ran was revealed in this month is enough for us to treat this month with special respect. This month is considered the most sacred month. Even before the birth of Islam, the Bedouins of Jahiliyyah refrained from vices to preserve the sanctity of this month. Shahur Ramadhan is not just a holy month to which one must show respect. It is indeed the month of Allah (SWT)! In this month, we are all His guests. Do you think that Allah (SWT) would leave his guests without giving them the best of gifts? The all-mighty Allah (SWT) who cares more about his creation than anyone in the world has indeed placed special blessings in this month and has given everyone the opportunity to make the best of it. He has even trapped Shaitan and made him inaccessible to us so that we do not fall into his hands and use him as an excuse to commit sins. Hence, no one should have an excuse to disobey Allah (SWT). Dear brothers and sisters, let us all make use of this month and progress ourselves in order to show Allah (SWT) that we are ready for our guide, Imam Al-Asr (AJTF). Let us use the opportunity of the night of Qadr, the night of power, which can change our destiny. Indeed we can make our future as we wish. Do not go back home from the ocean of purify with thirst. In order to receive the title of "Guest of Allah (SWT)", and receive the Wahi of Him in our hearts, and obtain the blessings of night of Qadr, we must purify our hearts and strive to remove all vices within ourselves. While we ask Allah (SWT) for forgiveness, also ask his creatures for forgiveness; especially your parents, relatives, closed ones, and those who may think that you did unjust to them. Put behind all of our grudges in order to purify our hearts. While we benefit from this month, it is important to also include others in our prayer. Please pray for all those who are in need of our prayer, especially the people who are suffering day and night for basic human rights all over the world.
