Sharjah 24: As part of its initiatives to promote community values and spirituality, the Sharjah Award for Voluntary Work (SAVW) organised its second Ramadan Majlis on Monday evening under the theme "Lethargy in Ramadan and Its Remedies." The event was held at the Conference Hall in the Sharjah Cultural Palace.

Expert Insights on Overcoming Ramadan Fatigue

The event featured a keynote lecture by Sheikh Dr. Salem Al Doubi, Director of Preaching and Fatwa at the Sharjah Department of Islamic Affairs. He addressed key topics relevant to fasting individuals, including the causes of spiritual and physical fatigue in Ramadan and strategies to overcome it by strengthening one's connection with Allah and maintaining acts of worship consistently.

Dr. Al Doubi emphasised the importance of utilising time wisely in Ramadan by engaging in good deeds such as reading the Quran, remembering Allah, and maintaining family ties. He also highlighted that willpower and determination play a crucial role in overcoming feelings of lethargy.

Additionally, he stressed that finding a balance between spiritual and physical aspects is essential to avoid burnout, encouraging attendees to create structured daily plans that incorporate worship, work, and rest to maximise the benefits of the holy month.

Dr. Jassim Al Hammadi, Secretary-General of the Sharjah Award for Voluntary Work, reaffirmed that this initiative aligns with the award’s mission to promote social and spiritual values. He noted that Ramadan Majlis gatherings provide an excellent platform for exchanging ideas and experiences within the community.

The event concluded with an interactive session, where attendees engaged in discussions, posed questions, and expressed their gratitude to the Sharjah Award for Voluntary Work for organising an event that revived the spiritual essence of Ramadan and reinforced religious and social values.
