It's that time of year again when Muslims squabble over the correct day to start Ramadan.  Ramadan begins for us tomorrow, whereas the rest of the U.S. starts Wednesday.   But that's another rant by itself which I won't go into about my community.  WHENEVER it is that you begin Ramadan, may you be able to make the most out of your time and this blessed month for Muslims.

If there's something you've always been wishing for (be it halal, of course), don't forget to make du'a for it every evening when you bite into that juicy date to break your fast.  Remember the hadith, the Messenger of Allah said, "There are three whose supplications are not rejected : the fasting person when he breaks his fast, the just ruler and the supplication of the oppressed." Tirmidhi.

Be sure to write down all your du'as and make them everyday.  While you're making your list, be sure to add me to it, too.   May Allah accept your du'as and prayers this month.

Ramadan Mubarak!
