This year, the spring of nature coincides with the spring of spirituality – the month of Ramadan. Regarding spring, it is said that one should not cover one’s body from the spring breeze. Similarly, regarding the spiritual spring of Ramadan, we should also adhere to this sentence [by the Prophet (pbuh)]: “Indeed, during your life you encounter fragrant breezes, expose yourself to them”. The breeze of spirituality that exists in the holy month of Ramadan embraces everyone and we must prepare ourselves for it.
