With a little over four weeks to go till the blessed month of Ramadan, the time to sit down and prepare ourselves was yesterday! It is said that the sahabah would make dua to Allah for six months just asking for the blessing of merely being able to reach Ramadan. Alhamdulillah, although it seems that we have been able to reach Ramadan in 2024 (almost!), we should note that next year’s Ramadan and the ones after are not promised. So let us strive for this Ramadan as though it is our last, and let us take every mean available to us to prepare as best we can.
With this in mind, MYA is excited to announce that it has a unique workshop around the corner to give you an opportunity to:
Join us on Sat 24 Feb, 3:30pm to 7:30pm, at the LMA Hall. Dinner, notes and stationary included.
Note: We have 10 early bird tickets at half-price out for grabs!
