Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul-Masih V, may Allah be his Helper, stated:
“Observing fasts during Ramadan, performing obligatory prayers regularly, or offering some voluntary prayers alone does not fulfill the right of Ramadan. Rather, reading the Holy Qur’an, seeking out its commandments, and acting upon them is also extremely necessary. Searching for its commandments is crucial, and this is a very important matter. It is this very practice that will enable us to benefit not only from the manifestations of Allah’s attribute of Rahmaniyyat (Graciousness) but also from the manifestations of His attribute of Rahimiyyat (Mercy). The Promised Messiah (peace and blessings be upon him) has left behind countless sayings and writings to guide us towards attaining the understanding of the Holy Qur’an, benefiting from it, and reaping its blessings. By reading and acting upon them, we can truly benefit from the Holy Qur’an.”
