Holy month of Ramadan - the Muslim call to

Life is fat and challenges we face on a regular basis. ButIslam has given us the gift ofRamadan to meet the challenge with courage and confidence. Where the opportunity this month to bring blessings for all Muslims to change their habits and the acquisition of shares of law, but also provides the opportunity to ask for forgiveness.

Month of blessings has come again. This is a month of happiness and many blessings and gifts limited to all Muslims worldwide Almighty God. It is the emergence of the month is full of blessings diverse, thirty days requires a Muslim to see one of the five pillars of Islam, fasting. This month, it helps all Muslims to distance themselves from any act unpleasant habits for their generosity.


According to God, the gates of heaven thrown launch, the gates of hell are closed and the devils are chained in this month. Our Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

"When the first night of Ramadan comes, the devils and rebellious jinn chained, the gates of hell are closed and not one of them opens the gates of Paradise are opened by key or one of them, and calls the crier, ' You want what is right, forward, and you want a popular refrain. "Some freed from hell by God, and this happens every night. "(Tirmidhi).

Another proposal is the act of fasting during this month, which was consecrated in the second Hijra. Fasting obligatory for all Muslims. Fasting develop the skills of self and self-control in the individual, as someone who fast should not only abstain from food and beverages, but s / he must also refrain from other things: gossip, gossip, bad deeds , using abusive language, etc.

The Prophet said: "Whoever does not baseless statements (ie, lying), and the basic act, and say bad words to others, God has no need of his (fasting) leaving food and drink" (Bukhari ).

The purpose of fasting is to achieve spiritual happiness than material wealth and issue a just sense of happiness within ourselves. This month of the blessed and gave us the message to be pious to print closer to God.


The observance of fasting during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. The experience of fasting is the intention of screaming Muslims self-discipline and self-control, and understand the thumbnail of the dilemmas that are less privileged (eg, hunger, thirst and terrible). In addition, the fast of Ramadan is not an objective of disciplining the body to refrain from eating and drinking from sunrise to sunset pre-but also to exercise control over his mind. This involves holding angry, do things right, exercising personal discipline, and prepare one to serve as a true Muslim and benefit the people. Fasting during Ramadan is prescribed to all Muslims, while the conventional healthy adults, the sick, children, travelers and menstruating women among them were released. Muslims observe the fast must abstain not only from eating food and drinking water, but also oral medications and intravenous nutritional fluid injected inspiration.

In the Qur'an, God says:

Hello to fill! Fasting is prescribed for you even when prescribed for those before you so that you can avoid (famous) (2:183).

Fasting is an act which, we are told, will act as a shield for us when we need it most.

The Apostle of Allah said:

"Fasting is a shield or protection from fire and from committing sins" (Bukhari).

Ramadan is the month when all Muslims must pay their annual zakat what he / she has received. The payment of zakat is obligatory in Islam and that each person has a strict model. Care cruel relatives, neighbors and other deficiencies also ordered the development of Muslims in Zakat. The wealth of minutes, leaving accumulated in previous years, must be shared among decent people, creating a sense of gratitude among the rich against the army and at the same time a sense of satisfaction among the disadvantaged against hosts, and a sense of brotherhood towards charitable giving.

Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said,

"It is a charity applies to everything, and the body of the charity is fasting" (Tirmidhi).

Fasting Muslims also carry the spirit of charity. Abstinence from food and beverages to provide direct experience even more special than the less fortunate may have to endure a year. Therefore, we are encouraged to donate more to charity and give wealth to those who can not afford the same luxuries that do.

Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

"That gives people who have been fasting something quick to destroy, or in addition to a fighter, would have the equivalent of a gift to him" (Tirmidhi).

Achieving Taqwa is one of the inherent wisdom of fasting. Fasting brings Taqwa as it reduces sexual desire and lust of the belly mute. Whoever fasts frequently exceed two desires more easily. Strengthen the resolve and patience to get.

Fasting is to enjoy cigars. The fact that he is abstaining from eating and drinking in public and secretly showed faith in a just and powerful treasure of God and the knowledge and feeling that God is all knowing. For this reason, God has made the reward of fasting is greater than for other types of value. Fasting promotes the lust of patience, humility and submission to the Creator. Other prayers and readings from the Koran and prayers regularly rewarded manifold. The main advantage of fasting is that it is a pure action based on the care and devotion to God and not a bit of show and display their piety in him. The act of fasting is actually hidden from the idea of ​​people and this is just training for next year.


We should panic and obey God tell the whole month. Fasting is not making any material or worldly. Fasting is primarily for spiritual upliftment. It develops "Taqwa" in Islam. The Prophet (peace be upon him) called Ramadan month of patience because it will increase its power to control our desires and selfishness of his soul. This training has allowed him to be strong in following God's commandments.

But thanks to this month is that every action can be trusted to do it, if it is superior to others or reading the Quran, carrying extra weight, thanks to
The Prophet said: "(God says about the fasting person),

"It has left the food, drink and desires for me. Fasting is for Me. So I will pay (the fasting person) for it and the reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times'" (Bukhari) .

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be please with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Amen, amen, amen." He said: "O Messenger of Allah, ascended the pulpit and said," Amen, amen, amen. "He said," Jibrael (P), came to me and said: "Anyone who witnessed the month of Ramadan and not spare, then go to hell, may Allah cast him out Say Ameen .." So I said Ameen. "

Another factor that distinguishes Ramadan from other months, is the emergence of a power or Laylat ul Qadr night. Night of Power is said to be one in which God writes His decision to create. In verses 3-5 May Sura Al-Qadr, Allah says:

"The Night of Power is better than a thousand months of the angels and the Spirit of overthrow, with the permission of their Lord, with all decisions .. (That night) Peace until the rising of the dawn."

Ramadan is a chance to make up for lost time in other jobs throughout the year and return to God, asking forgiveness for sins committed throughout the year, and finally, the chance of a better life waiting in the beyond. Provides all Muslims an opportunity to strengthen its Emaan, purify the heart and soul, and to seize the terrifying effects of sins committed by him.

All persons who have committed their spiritual obligations to the Creator and the created and completed a mission ordered them this month, have everything appropriate to celebrate the Eid al-Fitr, a one-day summit of success, but Of course, before I pay Fitra, the simple movement of his kindness toward mandatory fun, so you can appreciate the holy day.

Children should be encouraged to start fasting at an early age to open the regiment and win.

Errors are preferably carried out during Ramadan

Excessive spending: Ramadhan should be a time to avoid waste, and learn to be ready to face a difficult time differentiating between the needs of luxury. Unfortunately, many people outside its borders for disposal during the month of Ramadan, both in the types of foods that are seen every night, or other types of expenses.

Al-Quran reading too fast: Some whine to complete the entire Qur'an once or more, even if they have to read very quickly. Although many times the reading of the Koran is a beautiful, this should not be done quickly, especially during Taraweeh without considering its meaning.

Staying awake at night and sleep during the day: Meditation for the elevation of the soul can be practiced in the month of Ramadan with determination. Some people sleep during most of the day they were taken fasting or in other activities. Ramadan is not downtime. In addition, some can lead to a fragment of the night spent eating and drinking and socializing


Eating too: This month gives us the message to be aware of people who are horrible and need. Fill your appetite more than necessary is not the mandate of Ramadan. There are some people who eat too important in the month of Ramadan. It was observed that people eat more in the month of Ramadan when compared to other months. But God is more pleased with them, consuming less and the charity this month.

No need to choose foods that are excessive at the time of break (food consumed in the period immediately after sunset to spray in a hurry), dinner, or saheri (who usually eat a sandwich for half hour one hour before sunrise). The reason for this is twofold. First, and most importantly, as a lifestyle contrary to the purposes and spirit of Ramadan famous. Overeating can be seen as a reflection of weak discipline and irresponsibility. Second, the body has mechanisms for regulating the metabolic rate of plants and ensure efficient use of body fat. Also, most people prefer a more sedentary lifestyle while fasting. The representative of the results is that a balanced diet consisting of less than normal amount of food intake enough to keep a person healthy and active during the month of Ramadan.

Ramadan is for spiritual development through fasting. Physiologically, fasting the body eliminate toxins efficiently and positive mind "to think" so that one can reflect on the meaning of the Koran, the Hadith and the need for Zikr. We must also do a little self-analysis to monitor and correct the conduct, whether valuable. Through meditation, the mind must be withdrawn and our language!

We must ask God for forgiveness because we have so many rules and violated his covenant and disobey his orders throughout the year.


This is the month to renew our commitment and rebuild our relationship with our Creator. This is the time of goodness and virtue of true spring flowers when the entire Muslim community. This month brings us to follow the message of equality and fraternity and to improve the image ofIslam is different.

For all of us, who had damage to the heart that must be considered for the forgiveness of that person, because it is a natural law that man does not just hurt so bad and apologize to people who can heal the heart. According to our Holy Prophet, there is no forgiveness of God is to destroy humanity.

Therefore, this prayer to Allah to all Muslim brothers and sisters who can give us an idea of ​​the plans for our religion. May He show us the way just to keep pace. God expects us all to do as fast this Ramadan a shield in the afterlife and intercession at the graves. May Allah guide us to make this Ramadan a source to collect thank you very much and that our sins are forgiven major and minor. May God guide us in the way of apt and our friends to understand the essence of Islam and the rights of our life purpose. May Allah bring happiness and shower his blessings upon us, and perhaps our desire for facts. Ameen.
