Well, one of the reasons is simple, it\u2019s because everyone else around us is doing it.<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mere sight of seeing people around us excel in good deeds, motivates us and indirectly encourages us to do better.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mere thought that there are 1.8 Billion others fasting alongside me today, makes fasting easier. The sight of that young boy, that elderly man amidst hundreds of others in the Masjid going strong in Taraweeh, is giving you a major dose of motivation to continue. The sight of everyone around you pacing through the Quran, is giving your brain indications to keep going.<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s the \u0628\u0631\u0643\u0629 of the \u062c\u0645\u0627\u0639\u0629. The blessing of the congregation. And it\u2019s a concept that has long been understood when it comes to why Ramadan is so empowering. It\u2019s a month that brings Muslims together from around the world, all competing together to attain the Love and Mercy and the forgiveness of Allah.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet as beautiful as this unique concept is, in 2020 or 1441 AH, this concept is no more. Well, simply put, we are all locked in our homes, away from the Masajids and away from the blessed gatherings of our fellow Muslims.<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet as sad as this feels, we can\u2019t let it bring us down. Yes, we were hit hard by losing this profound blessing, but we have to minimise our losses. And the best way we can do this, is by replicating this \u062c\u0645\u0627\u0639\u0629 in our home and recreating an environment of motivation.<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gather your family and do your good deeds together. Pray together, read the Quran together, perform your Athkaar and learn about your faith together. Compete amongst one another to perform the most deeds as Allah states in the Quran:<\/span>\n<blockquote><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u0641\u064e\u0627\u0633\u0652\u062a\u064e\u0628\u0650\u0642\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u062e\u064e\u064a\u0652\u0631\u064e\u0627\u062a\u0650<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSo all race to [all that is] good&#8221;<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quran 5:48\u00a0<\/span><\/blockquote>\n&nbsp;\n<blockquote><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u0633\u064e\u0627\u0628\u0650\u0642\u064f\u0648\u0627 \u0625\u0650\u0644\u064e\u0649 \u0645\u064e\u063a\u0652\u0641\u0650\u0631\u064e\u0629\u064d \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0631\u064e\u0628\u0651\u0650\u0643\u064f\u0645\u0652 \u0648\u064e\u062c\u064e\u0646\u0651\u064e\u0629\u064d<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cRace towards forgiveness from your Lord and Paradise\u201d<\/span>\n\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quran 57:21<\/span><\/blockquote>\n&nbsp;\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Race amongst one another and compete to really drive that motivational spirit amongst your family.
