if we cannot give anything material, simply greeting a fellow Muslim with a smiling face is also charity.

One essential lesson we learn from Lady Fāṭimah’s character is that if we cannot give anything materially, we can at least pray for others. This, too, is an act of kindness and carries immense rewards.

Unfortunately, many of us are negligent in this, even for ourselves let alone others. Yet, making dua costs nothing! If we develop the habit of praying not only for ourselves but also for others, the rewards we earn will be beyond our imagination.

The Greatest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: "Whoever prays for the forgiveness of all Muslim men and women; Allah Almighty grants him a good deed for every Muslim man and woman."^[1]

Think about what this means! From Prophet Ādam عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم until now, countless Muslims have lived in this world. Simply say the following supplication:

اَللّٰہُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِیْ وَ لِکُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ مُؤْمِنَۃٍ

O Allah! Forgive me and all believing men and women.

اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه By saying this, you can earn billions of good deeds in just a moment.

The month of Ramadan is a month of dua. At the time of ifṭār and saḥūr, our prayers are accepted. Try your absolute best to increase your duas in this time.

May Allah Almighty grant us the ability to supplicate in abundance.

اٰمِیْنْ بِجَاہِ خاتَمِ النَّبِیّٖن صلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہ ِوَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ
