If you want to make the most of Ramadan, start by reading and reflecting on the words of Allah.
Ramadan is not just about fasting. It is about growing closer to Allah through dua, dhikr, and acts of worship. Reading books that teach us about Allah’s names, mercy, and guidance can help strengthen our faith.
