Ramadan
Since the lockdown in South Africa has been extended to 30 April, it is inevitable that a few days of Ramadan will be spent under lockdown.
I'tikaf is indeed a great Sunnah of our Beloved Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam).
Amongst the many blessings of Ramadan is a precious and special night known as Laylatul Qadr - The Night of Power. This great and powerful night is better than a 1000 months (83 years and 4 months).
As Ramadan draws to a close and we prepare to say our farewell, we feel both sad at the separation from our guest as well as the excitement for Eid.

The fast of Ramadan is obligatory on every Muslim adult. There is no monetary compensation for one who can fast.
A Muslim must be mindful of those around him and avoid causing even the slightest inconvenience to anyone.
Allah Ta'ala has granted permission to people who are aged or terminally ill and have no hope of fasting again in their life, to compensate for each fast by feeding a poor and needy person (two complete meals for a day). This compensation is referred to as 'fidya.’
Masha Allah, South African Muslims are generally prompt in discharging their Zakah.
