Ramadhan: The Standard for High-Performing Muslims

If you can master this month, you can master your life.

Juz 2 nears the end of Surah Al-Baqarah, where Allah has already detailed the Five Pillars of Islam—establishing the ultimate framework for success.

Since it's Ramadhan, let’s reflect on these powerful verses:

"Ramadhan is the month in which the Qur’an was revealed as guidance for humanity…" (2:185)

"When My servants ask about Me, I am near…" (2:186)

🔹 This teaches us:

  • The Qur’an is the ultimate standard. Judge your business, relationships, and mindset by Allah’s words—this is how you stay on the right path.

  • Allah wants to make things easy—if you let Him guide you. Fasting isn’t about suffering; it’s a discipline that builds clarity, patience, and control.

  • Du’a and obedience go hand in hand. The more you align with Allah’s commands, the more your du’as are answered.

How to apply this:

  • Always seek Allah’s help first. Start every du’a with Tasbih, Takbir, and Tahmid—this is the mindset of men who know Allah is near.

  • Fasting isn’t about what you stop—it’s about what you start. Read more Qur’an. Make more du’a. Improve your Salah. Study the Deen. Make worship effortless.

  • Du’a is a believer’s weapon—especially in Ramadhan. Ask big. £300,000/week. Three righteous wives. Hijrah. Pious companions. There’s no limit to what Allah can give—you’re only limited by what you dare to ask for.

Follow Through After Ramadhan:

The discipline you cultivate in Ramadhan should shape your success in dunya and akhirah. Carry this same focus into:

  • Business: Work ethically. Lead with integrity. Use your success to uplift the Ummah.

  • Spirituality: Make Qur’an and Salah permanent habits, not seasonal ones.

  • Personal Development: Control your desires. Build patience. Master self-discipline.

Juz 2 reminds us: Ramadhan isn’t a restriction—it’s the ultimate expression of a Muslim man’s righteousness.

A month of focus, discipline, and efficiency.

Of gratitude, family, and charity.

Of patience, forgiveness, and dedication.

O Allah, accept our fasts, our nightly prayers, our bowing, and prostrations by Your grace, O You Who is the Most Gracious!

I'm challenging myself to one thread on each Juz this Ramadhan—and to take notes on every verse in the Kitab.

What is one business and one spiritual challenge you have for yourself this Ramadhan? Let me know.

Talk soon,

Hamza.
