Ramadan Is a Revolution of the Self Sami Hamdi

This Ramadan, help us expand our Muslim media project here: Become a Monthly Member: Donate via LaunchGood: In this short segment, Sami Hamdi emphasises that the month in which the Qur’an was revealed is a month of action, not rest. He explains that Ramadan was never intended to be a period of passivity or withdrawal, but a time rooted in purpose and transformation. The revelation itself came as a challenge to injustice and oppression, calling people to reform both themselves and the societies around them. By reminding us that the Qur’an descended in Ramadan, he highlights that this month is connected to movement, struggle, and moral clarity. The Prophet ﷺ did not suspend his mission during Ramadan. Rather, it was a time of intensified resolve and commitment. Fasting is therefore not about slowing down, but about disciplining the self so that one can act with greater strength, courage, and dedication to justice.
