🔹 Reflection on One Week of Ramadan
🌙 Tonight marks the 8th night of Ramadan!
✔️ One full week of fasting completed.
✔️ Three more weeks to go, including the blessed last 10 nights.
✔️ Why do we long for Ramadan despite its challenges?
• There is a spiritual blessing in this month that we do not experience at any other time.
• Fasting is not just about avoiding food and drink—it’s about self-discipline, purification, and drawing closer to Allah.
• We ask Allah to grant us sincerity, forgiveness, and the opportunity to witness Laylatul Qadr.
🔹 Tonight, we continue with Surah Al-An’am, Ayah 25-30.

📖 Verse 25 – The Quraysh’s Stubbornness
🔹 وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَسْتَمِعُ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَجَعَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًۭا ۖ وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ كُلَّ ءَايَةٍۢ لَّا يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِهَا
🔹 “And among them are those who listen to you, but We have placed coverings over their hearts so they do not understand it, and deafness in their ears. Even if they see every sign, they will not believe in it.”
🔹 The Secret Hobby of Abu Jahl & Al-Walid Ibn Mughira
• Despite publicly opposing Islam, Abu Jahl and Al-Walid Ibn Mughira would sneak out at night to listen to the Quran recited by the Prophet ﷺ.
• Why? The beauty of the Quran mesmerised them, but their arrogance prevented them from accepting it.
• Al-Walid ibn Mughira, the best poet in Makkah, admitted:
• “This is not poetry.”
• “This is not magic.”
• “This is something beyond human ability.”
🔹 Yet, they still rejected it. Why?
✔️ Arrogance.
✔️ Fear of losing status and power.
✔️ Tribal rivalry.
💡 Lesson: Some people recognise the truth but refuse to accept it because of their ego.
