Ramadhan in the time of COVID-19

Fasting during this pandemic has brought both calamity and blessing. The lockdowns and quarantine gave some more time to pray, save from travels and mall visits, rest more from work-at-homes and office leaves, and most of all fast with strong remembrance of illness and death as a reminder to prepare oneself from the worst and the Hereafter.

Meanwhile, we also salute our healthcare workers as many continue to work in clinics and hospitals amidst the scare of catching the virus.

May Allah (SWT) bless our generous frontliner supporters and understanding loved ones as we, medical practitioners, continue to serve even during Ramadhan.

As we all believe and pray for preparedness, we are continually made aware of this -- inalillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun -- to Allah we all belong, unto Allah we shall all return.

Should you wish to support our physicians and healthcare workers in any way, please message us at the FaceBook Page or email imanphil07@gmail.com

May the coming Eid'L Fitr be a fruitful one for everyone, in shaa Allah

JazakAllaho khairan katheer!
