The most sacred month for Muslims, Ramadan is here again with its never-exhausting blessings. It’s the month of abundant mercy from the creator, seeking forgiveness, repenting from sins no matter how grievous they may be and whole-heartedly attempting to replenish one’s soul with good deeds. Ramadan not only intends to reconnect our souls with Allah (SWT) but renders us to understand the sufferings of the less privileged group in the society by fasting throughout the day and inclines us to provide them charity. During this holy month, we try to make the most of it by constantly praying, reciting Quran and duas on the go, however, our earthly duties – office, schools etc – restrain us from doing so. That is why we have conjured up a list of Islamic apps that would guide you through the path of forgiveness and mercy which can be used even in the formidable traffic jam.
