he holy month of Ramadan comes to us this year under circumstances that can be used to correct our life situations. Life goes by faster than we realize and comprehend, just like our feeling of the arrival and departure of the holy month. This is not strange, as Ramadan, in terms of language, means «waiting a little and then moving on» and this is the meaning of the verb according to what is mentioned by the dictionary meaning that the last moments of life pass quickly and in these circumstances. We must realize the philosophy of the journey of life that requires each of us to review ourselves, our relationship with God and the extent of our satisfaction with our lifestyle, with all its positives and negatives, emotions and reactions, and the extent of our conviction that each of us has a message in life, which we must perform in the best possible way, and leave a positive impact before leaving. With the beginning of the month of mercy, forgiveness and self-review, we have a great opportunity to return to God and recalculate our accounts with the Lord of the Worlds and the rest of those around us. We will not find a better opportunity than that to correct your positions and return from them. If you have severed family ties, wronged someone, or committed an offense against someone, it is time to emphasize that there is no room to talk about who started the mistake or gave up dignity or position. Because the matter is related to the keenness to gain the pleasure of the Lord of the Worlds, who created the human soul with mercy. So seize the great opportunity, which will go away like a flash, to get rid of hatred and loathing and erase them from the dictionary of your life and your practices, and take the initiative with respect, love, and communication, the first and greatest of which is maintaining family ties and making affection and purity the basis of life. The most beautiful feeling in this life is found in tolerant souls. Do not hesitate and take the initiative with peace, if there is a personal or practical dispute. We are a nation of peace and reassurance. These circumstances are an opportunity to correct the situations and concepts that have unfortunately begun to creep into the minds of future generations. This places a double responsibility on us because we are required to leave a legacy of positivity for our children and instill tolerance and forgiveness in their souls. We will not succeed in this, except when we are a role model for them. This is an opportunity to strengthen our mental health first and protect our children from negative influences second. It is a duty for all of us because it ultimately contributes to maintaining our social cohesion. We congratulate you on the holy month, and may Allah accept your obedience. b i n d a i n a@b a t e l c o . c om . b h Maj. Gen.
