As we welcomed the month of Ramadan with the sighting of the moon, how fortunate are we to witnesss this month. Countless times we are afforded opportunities by our Creator to do better, be better and ultimately realise what our true purpose in life is and that is to worship Him.
We find ourselves in the first ten days of Ramadan, known as the days of mercy. Allah (SWT) says in the Quran, “O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous.” (Quran 2:183). During these days we have been given a unique opportunities to seek Allah (SWT)’s mercy and forgiveness. May we strive to make the most of this our time by engaging in acts of worship and seeking His pleasure.
Today we fed 2,750 people from the communities of Lavender Hill, Vrygrond, Khayelitsha, Egoli, Retreat and Manenberg taking the total mouths fed to date to 215,750. May every morsel of food eaten provide sustenance and improved health. We take the opportunity to thank our sponsors, the team and volunteers for your ongoing support.
As the clock ticks let’s not forget that our time on earth is limited. We tend to prioritise everything that we deem important but not reflecting on the time wasted. In reality each minute that passes is a minute less we have. With the days that remain, may we raise our hands asking for His mercy.
