what is the significance of Ramadan and how can I fully maximize this opportunity to intensify my devotion to Allah in this month?

 Allah says in the Holy Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah verse 185: “Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Quran, as a guide to mankind, and also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and wrong).” Ramadan is the month of the Holy Quran; therefore, you are encouraged to do the following: 1. Do more good deeds with the aim of strengthening your faith and receiving Allah’s blessings. 2. Increase your knowledge by reading and studying the Holy Quran and the life of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) 3. Reflecting on the values that the Holy Quran teaches us, particularly in akhlaq (moral character). Our deeds and actions as a person of faith have to reflect the good moral character, as that which has been laid out in our Holy Book. Intensifying our devotion to Allah in Ramadan is not limited to ritual prayers and the fast. More than that, we should reflect on every aspect of our lives and realize our devotion to Allah in all of our actions, words and intentions.
