2. Let’s increase our taqwa in the month of Ramadhan by putting more efforts to carry out His commandments and refraining from His prohibitions. Man is Allah’s creature. Allah knows better how to reinstate and improve man’s akhlak which is through tarbiyyah (تَرْبِيَّةٌ) in the month of Ramadhan. المركز الاسلامي PUSAT ISLAM UNIVERSITI UTARA MALAYSIA ISLAMIC CENTRE of UNIVERSITI UTARA MALAYSIA

3. يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ (2:183) 2:183 O YOU who have attained to faith! Fasting is ordained for you as it was ordained for those before you, so that you might remain conscious of God(تَقْوَى) المركز الاسلامي PUSAT ISLAM UNIVERSITI UTARA MALAYSIA ISLAMIC CENTRE of UNIVERSITI UTARA MALAYSIA

4. We should improve our degree of fasting from the basic level (عوام) which is refraining from hunger, thirst and matters that nullify the fast to a higher degree of fasting. Fasting generates people who are thankful to Allah who has blessed them with His Bounty and men who helps the needy. المركز الاسلامي PUSAT ISLAM UNIVERSITI UTARA MALAYSIA ISLAMIC CENTRE of UNIVERSITI UTARA MALAYSIA
