** "Making the Most of Ramadan: A Guide to Spiritual Enrichment" ** To make the most of Ramadan and truly embrace its spiritual significance, consider the following practices: 1. **Set Clear Intentions (Niyyah):** Before Ramadan begins, reflect on your goals and intentions. What do you hope to achieve spiritually, emotionally, and physically? Write them down and revisit them throughout the month. 2. **Plan Your Day:** Structure your daily routine around your spiritual practices. Allocate specific times for prayer, Quran recitation, and reflection. Ensure you balance your daily obligations with your religious duties. 3. **Suhoor and Iftar Preparation:** Plan nutritious and balanced meals for Suhoor and Iftar. Avoid overeating, and focus on foods that provide sustained energy and hydration. 4. **Quran and Duas:** Dedicate time each day to reading and reflecting on the Quran. Learn new Duas (supplications) and incorporate them into your daily prayers. Aim to complete the Quran by the end of the month. 5. **Taraweeh Prayers:** Attend Taraweeh prayers at the mosque, if possible. The communal atmosphere enhances the spiritual experience and fosters a sense of unity. 6. **Charity and Good Deeds:** Increase your charitable activities by giving Zakat and Sadaqah. Volunteer your time and help those in need. Acts of kindness and generosity amplify the blessings of Ramadan. 7. **Self-Reflection and Repentance:** Use the quiet moments of the day and night for self-reflection. Seek forgiveness for past mistakes, and strive to improve yourself. Ramadan is a time for spiritual renewal and personal growth. 8. **Avoid Distractions:** Limit distractions such as excessive screen time, social media, and non-essential activities. Focus on your spiritual journey and prioritize your connection with Allah. 9. **Family and Community:** Engage in meaningful conversations and activities with family and friends. Share knowledge, support each other, and strengthen your bonds. Participate in community events and initiatives. 10. **Laylat al-Qadr:** Seek out and make the most of Laylat al-Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramadan. Engage in intense prayer, recitation, and supplication, as this night holds immense blessings. 11. **Health and Wellness:** Take care of your physical health by staying hydrated, getting enough rest, and engaging in light exercise. A healthy body supports a healthy spirit. 12. **Journaling:** Keep a journal to document your thoughts, reflections, and progress throughout Ramadan. This can be a valuable tool for self-awareness and future growth. By incorporating these practices into your daily routine, you can maximize the spiritual benefits of Ramadan and experience a deeper connection with your faith.

Laylat Al Qadr — the night when Prophet Mohammad received the first verses of the Quran — represents the most sacred period in the holy month of Ramadan for nearly two billion Muslims. Associated with abundant blessings, many also believe it to hold so much power that it can set the tone for the year to come. Here are five things to know about Laylat Al Qadr:

The UN General Assembly included the desecration of holy books, including the Quran, in a draft resolution on racism, discrimination and hate crimes, in response to a proposal submitted by Türkiye. Ankara’s Permanent Representative to UNESCO, Ambassador Gulnur Aybet, said that, “under Türkiye’s leadership, we added the UNGA resolution declaring crimes against holy books as violations of international law to the UNESCO decision draft.” “While stating our support for combatting all forms of hate crimes, I emphasised the alarming increase in crimes associated with hatred against Islam in recent years,” the envoy added. “I noted that UNESCO should act in line with UN resolutions in this regard. The draft resolution was accepted with the amendments we proposed. Let’s continue the fight.” Quran desecration acts in Europe have ignited a debate about religious tolerance and freedom of expression, prompting calls for a deeper understanding of religious sensitivities and a reconsideration of the balance between free speech and respect for religious beliefs. In July 2023, the UN General Assembly unanimously adopted a Morocco-sponsored resolution calling acts of violence against religious symbols, holy books, and places of worship a violation of international law.
