I am not against community building, but it does not sit well with me to see a blessed meal turned into a marketed event that shifts the focus away from its spiritual purpose. These gatherings often prioritize socializing, indulgence, and branding over sincerity and reflection, making Ramadan feel more like a festival rather than a time of devotion—this is what the day of Eid is for.\\n\\nBeyond that, these events can also open the door to sin during these blessed nights. When gatherings become more about entertainment than worship, they risk leading to frivolous behavior, excessive mingling, or heedlessness at a time when hearts should be most connected to Allah. The nights of Ramadan are precious opportunities for du’a, dhikr, and seeking forgiveness, and it is unfortunate to see them reduced to social trends that can distract from these acts of devotion.\\n\\nSuhoor, like other acts of worship, should remain sincere and purposeful. The best way to observe it is in a setting that encourages reflection and prepares the heart for the day of fasting ahead. \\n\\nMay Allah safeguard our acts of devotion from becoming mere trends and grant us sincerity in our intentions.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fde0b76658b4c232774","tag":"Fasting: Ramadan","count":97},{"_id":"668d9fe30b76658b4c232826","tag":"Worship: Etiquettes","count":79},{"_id":"668d9fee0b76658b4c232963","tag":"Fasting: Other","count":26},{"_id":"66ef924739945b40a2cbedfc","tag":"Food: Other","count":20}],"createdOn":"2025-05-08T20:37:26.259Z"}
