What is Ramadan and Why is it Special?
Ramadan Kareem has immense importance in the History of Islam. It is because the revelation of the Holy Quran started in this holy month. Ramadan teaches us to take self-control, dedicate ourselves to the will of Allah, connect with the creator for spiritual elevation, earn maximum eternal rewards and enter paradise. In the holy Quran, Allah says:
شَهۡرُ رَمَضَانَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ ٱلۡقُرۡءَانُ هُدٗى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَٰتٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡهُدَىٰ وَٱلۡفُرۡقَانِۚ فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ ٱلشَّهۡرَ فَلۡيَصُمۡهُۖ وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوۡ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٖ فَعِدَّةٞ مِّنۡ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَۗ يُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ بِكُمُ ٱلۡيُسۡرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ ٱلۡعُسۡرَ وَلِتُكۡمِلُواْ ٱلۡعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُواْ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَىٰكُمۡ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ
[The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey – then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you, and perhaps you will be grateful.]
Fasting in Ramadan
Fasting is a great religious and physical activity during Ramazan Shareef. Observance of Ramzan is an obligatory pillar of Islam. The start of Ramzan is with a Sehri meal before Fajr that proceeds until Maghrib(Sunset)when fasting is closed with an Iftari meal.
It is called sawm in Arabic. Every Muslim who is an adult (aged 14/15 years maximum)must observe fasting during this month. Due to its huge Thawab and blessings, even kids start observing fast. The only valid reason to skip fasting can be illness, journey, or women’s specific diseases(mensturation).
Observance of Ramazan Around the world
Muslims observe Ramadan Shareef with great devotion and religious fervour. Sehri, Iftaar, and salat e Taraveeh are the blessed events which change our daily timetable significantly in Ramadan. Recitation of the Holy Quran, prayers, and supplications are offered frequently because of the enhanced Thawab in Ramzan Kareem.
Ramadan is not only worship and prayers; this sacred month also teaches us to show tolerance, respect, and humanity. Muslims who can pay zakat and sadqah engage themselves in these charitable acts along with fasting in Ramadan. This blessed month offers a great opportunity to worship Allah and serve His followers.
Ramadan Fazail (The Blessings)
Fasting primarily means not going without food and water; it is feeding your soul to connect with Allah, learn patience and sacrifice, and please Allah with worship, prayers, and charitable acts. Because of enhanced thawab and rewards, millions of Muslims distribute food and money and offer invitations to iftar to the poor and their loved ones. Therefore, the arrangement of Iftari is made for poor people in all Muslim countries.
