Same Difference: On Ramadan Re-runs

With Ramadan, comes reminders about Ramadan; you can only say the same thing so many times, in so many ways…

But is it really a bad thing to have the same reruns for this sacred month? I beg to differ. (Ok, lame pun). Of course we all cringe when it’s the moot arguments of the sighting of the moon or “8 or 20?”. But when it comes to the genuine guidelines and advice for fasting, the old can be just as useful as the new. You might be at a higher level of iman now and can probably have a better grasp of whatever information you’re fed. Or if your nafs is weak at this point, how good it would be for you to receive the same reminder that got you up in the first place. What was once the initiator can now be a remedy for the heart.
