TO MY FELLOW MUSLIMS:

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu!

May Allah (SWT) grant our prayers, accept our fasting, and forgive our sins and make our lives more meaningful as servants
of Allah (SWT) both in this world and hereafter. We wish the best for all of us during this Blessed Month of Ramadhan.
Happy Ramadhan Al-Kareem!
