YOU know how Ramazan came early for us this year? Like spring, it made its pleasant arrival with an unapologetic swiftness. Now, it is that time of the year which calls for us to strengthen our faith.
Ramazan has a spiritual flavour to it but it does not come on its own — the trick lies in seeking it. This spiritual month is unordinary and thus should be lived unlike the other 11 months of the year. If we stick to our ordinary routines of the materialistic world, then we will not be able to make the best out of this blessed month.
We all spend our time engaged in our daily work and usually forget the amount of barakah this holy month carries, when each one of our good deeds is rewarded 70 times more than normal.
So, in order to prepare yourself and engage more with faith and introspect more into the knowledge of islam, you can watch some Islamic series which are easily available for everyone to watch on YouTube. Unlike Ertugrul and Kurulus Osman, of course, these series will help you meaningfully engage with Ramazan, provide you with the knowledge of our faith and make sure you make the best out of it by imparting the ways and means of ibadah. Here are some YouTube series which you can binge watch daily to stay in the Ramazan spirit.
1. “Ramadan Ready” by Let the Quran Speak
This series is aimed at answering all the questions and clearing your doubts about faith and belief. It provides trusted explanations to very general queries regarding the holy month. Basic questions about the essence and meaning of fasting such as how fasting works and how to prepare for Ramazan.
2. “The Manners of the Believers – Ramadan” by Yasir Qadhi
This series by prominent scholar Sheikh Yasir imparts the importance of noble manners that a believer must possess and also guides you towards becoming a man/women of character as prescribed by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Follow the series to learn more about how having a pure character is a major aspect of islam. It is a sunnah to present an embracing and respectful behaviour to everyone.
3. “Reconnecting with Revelation” by Mufti Menk
Join the leading global islamic scholar and motivational speaker Dr. Mufti Ismail Menk as he goes through different verses of the Quran that will help you to reconnect with Allah throughout the holy month.
