Today in Ramadan, we focus on the very bad trait of conceit and arrogance. By studying one piece of the guidance given by Luqman the Wise to his son, we see the role of humbleness and humility in our live and how we need to keep away form self-conceit as no matter how great, rich, powerful, or good looking we think we are there is someone out there better, richer, more powerful and better looking!

Today in Ramadan, we focus on the agents of corruption - people whom God does not like - those who spread evil and wickedness on the earth with no regard for others. We will seek to better understand the forms of corruption which are present and how such evil people not only destroy their world to come, but end up destroying the innocent men, women and children in the world today to reach their selfish goals.

Today in Ramadan, we review another trait - this time the act of doing good. This is a wide and vast topic as what is “doing good”? We will review this topic in the light of the Children of Israel as this verse speaks about them and some of their actions and we will compare and contrast good and bad so we can better understand what it means to be a doer of good.

Today in Ramadan, yet another trait which God loves is reviewed and it is those who put their complete trust and reliance in God alone - tawakul. What does it mean to trust in Him alone? It is a multi step process which also includes consultation and working with others in the society and then relying on God.

Today in Ramadan, we review the topic of another group of people whom God loves - those who are always struggling in His way. He presents this group of people as being like a compact and firm wall and fortress of defence for the entire Muslim community.

Today in Ramadan, we review the topic of another group of people whom God loves - those who are struggling to purify themselves. This topic will be addressed in the backdrop of the construction of a worthless Masjid - a building known in the Quran as masjid dhirara - a mosque for sabotage and defiance.

Today in Ramadan, we review the first quality which God “loves” - those who maintain justice in their lives - in all aspects - however especially when one is having to judge between people.
