Event details:
The most amazing time in the year is upon us. Within weeks, we welcome the most anticipated month of repentance, mercy, and great reward. There is no more marvellous time in a Muslim’s life than Ramadhan. Sadly, before we know it, we’ll be binging on Eid sweets and wishing we did more.
In this talk, Sheikh Haytham Tamim will share with us how we can prepare for holy month and make the most of its limited and fast-fleeing days. This talk will help us maximise our gains from the great month.
The talk will be followed by a brief reminder on the health implications of fasting long days. A doctor will give advice on how we can sustain our bodies and retain energy to be able to gain from all the spiritual opportunities.
