The Qur’an: A Light and Guidance in Ramadan and Beyond
Ramadan is not just a month of fasting—it is the month of the Qur’an. It was in this blessed month that Allah revealed His final guidance to humanity, a light for our hearts and a criterion between right and wrong.
Allah says in the Qur’an:
“The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion.”
(Qur’an 2:185)
