“Ramadan in the Modern World: Blessings and Challenges” — Ramadan Series 3
At its core, “modern” represents the current and recent time — our very own time. With that being said, it is undeniable that we cannot exist in this present existence without being immersed in its modernity. Technology, without a doubt, plays an integral role in shaping our lives. From daily routines to communication, it shapes our experiences, and Ramadan is no exception.
A harmonious balance requires awareness. By actively seeking knowledge, we can harness the power of tech-driven modernity for good, enriching our lives and creating Ramadan experiences like never before.
So, how do we navigate the journey of Ramadan in this tech-driven world? How can we harness the blessings of technology for good? We will break this down, uncovering the blessings and challenges for Muslims observing this holy month.
Blessings
Deeper Connection
Technology has revolutionized our connectivity, breaking down physical barriers and enabling us to share experiences across vast distances. We can now share our Ramadan moments and traditions with the world, and even enjoy virtual iftars with loved ones, regardless of distance. As new technologies like AR and VR continue to advance, even more immersive and connected experiences are bound to emerge.
Empowering Practice
Apps for athan (prayer call), habit trackers, Quran recitation, and duas can help you stay focused on your spiritual goals and enhance your Ramadan experience. These apps can maximize our productivity and minimize distractions in this holy month.
Knowledge Sharing
Live streams and online resources make spiritual guidance and knowledge accessible to everyone. A wealth of Islamic knowledge is readily accessible at your fingertips. Participating in this digital knowledge by creating meaningful content or simply supporting the sharing of valuable resources across the globe can earn you immense rewards from Allah (SWT).
Global Philanthropy
Platforms and apps facilitate donations to local and international charities, amplifying the reach of zakat and sadaqah and allowing you to make a difference globally. Reaching and contributing to community initiatives becomes easier and more transparent. And with blockchain and cryptocurrencies, philanthropic efforts are amplified and enhanced.
