 Sheikh Damaroglu called to return to Allah Almighty with pure intention during Ramadan, to perform religious duties sincerely, to read the Holy Qur’an, and fast with faith and expectation. He is stressing that “we are enjoying a sophisticated human behavior in Ramadan, with the great opportunity of self-accountability.”

 He explained that Ramadan is an individual obligation and one of the pillars of Islam that has conditions such as Islam, adulthood, reason, knowledge, health, and others. He said that Ramadan and the Qur’an are twins, as supplication is the brain of worship, so we must know the importance of that during the holy month.
