Ramadan is almost here, and some hearts are still tied to relationships Allah never allowed. Before the month of mercy arrives, ask yourself honestly: Is this connection bringing me closer to Allah or slowly pulling me away? What begins as comfort often ends in guilt, secrecy, and a heart that struggles to stand in prayer. Allah didn’t forbid things to deprive us. He forbade them to protect our hearts. Ramadan is a door opening, not just to fasting, but to repentance, clarity, and choosing Allah over temporary attachment. Let go before Ramadan forces you to choose. What you leave for Allah, He replaces with something far better.
