My brothers and sisters in Islam, the one who feels like he's not ready for Ramadan because he has missed years and years of prayer, then treat that sickness of your heart by taw’bah (repentence) . If you feel like you are not ready because of the filthy, evil words you've spoken over the years, whether it's the slander or the back biting or the gossip or the cursing words that you have spoken, then raise your hand to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala in the middle of the night and ask him to forgive you from all that. The main thing right now before a man is to cleanse this heart. Once the heart is cleansed and it's purified, you will feel ready to embrace. this month you feel ready to receive the mercy that is coming down from the heavens.
May Allah make us among who listen and apply.
