Congratulations on reaching the month of Ramadan, the month of mercy, blessings and forgiveness.
Ramadan this year is very different because of the restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are not able to pray, iftar and volunteer at the mosque or share food with our family and friends who are not living with us.
During this tough time, there are still so many blessings to be thankful for such as online content by our pro-active asatizah. Our hearts can still remain connected with Allah s.w.t. Let us fill our time with the remembrance of Allah and beneficial content such as Islamic podcasts, free online Islamic classes and videos.
Here is a list of videos that you shouldn’t miss out on this Ramadan:
