Great!
I love the idea of having a litmus test to see whether we have changed during Ramadan ! Thank you!
The focus has always been on the worship and not on how the worship needs to change us. That’s why there are so many ‘religious & practicing’ people who do unacceptable things – they didn’t make the knowledge or the worship transform them. The litmus test is key!
I think it would be wonderful for you continue this kind of forum.
