Remember, the doors of Paradise are open. It is your determination to go there that counts. Remember, Allah's forgiveness is readily available; it is your will to ask for it.
Remember those in the world who don’t have the blessing that we have in this sacred month.
O Allah, we implore You to come to the aid of your oppressed servants, no matter where they are. Do not favor others above us. Astaghfir-allah al-‘alim al-ladhi la ilaha illa huwa al-hayy al-qayyum wa-atubu ilayhi. Al-hamdu lillahi rabb al-‘alamin.
