The Holy Month of Ramadhan is a period of spiritual renewal and discipline for Muslims worldwide, characterized by more than just fasting. According to Sheikh Rishad Rajab of Masjid Jibran in Mombasa, it is a time when Allah opens doors of mercy and answers prayers, focusing on transforming fasting into self-purification and spiritual elevation through ten core objectives.

• Among the core objectives are practicing self-control, controlling anger, perfecting manners, and demonstrating generosity.
• Key figures like Sheikh Muhdhar Khitami emphasize the importance of connecting with the Quran, making abundant supplications, and engaging in night prayers (Qiyam).
• Communal worship, shared Iftar, and increased attendance at Isha and Fajr prayers are crucial for strengthening community bonds and attaching the heart to the mosque.
• The ultimate goal is attaining Taqwa (God-consciousness) and leveraging the month for mercy and forgiveness, aspiring for spiritual purification and closeness to Allah.
