How can believers strengthen their belief in the holy Month of Ramadhan and get ready for Lailatul Qadr?

SHAFAQNA – In this blessed month strengthen yourselves (your belief) with Divine Strengths. It is mentioned in a Hadith (narration) that the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) said: The Month of Ramadhan came and is welcomed. God’s feast is different from people’s feasts because when you are invited by others to a feast, when you go there according to their means, food and drink and amusements and things like these are provided. One branch of God’s feast in the Month of Ramadhan is fasting, that is God’s feast; and one important part of it which is unseen and the heavenly table of provisions, is the Quran. You are invited to God’s feast and you are the guest of God in the Month of Ramadhan. Your Host has made you to fast; these roads which are open to the world and they are considered to be lusts (inappropriate desires), block them in order that you get ready for Lailatul Qadr (the Night of Qadr; the Night of Destiny) [1].
