Apart from fasting and praying to make the most of Ramadan 2023, there are others areas of focus also. From your improving your personality to your relationships and even strengthening your faith, these last couple of years and the tough situations we face everyday are a sign that we need to affirm our faith and get closer to Allah. And Ramadan 2023 is a great way to instill and carry on new habits.
So, what does it mean to spiritually strengthen your faith?

Our faith is not always as sound and strong as we want it to be as it often fluctuates according to life circumstances. There are several causes for weakening faith such as; committing sins, neglecting sunnah, finding difficulty in remembering Allah.
