What is Ramadan
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. It is a time for Muslims worldwide to fast, pray, analyze, and come together. It is regarded as one of Islam’s Five Pillars, which serve as the foundation for a Muslim’s beliefs and actions.
Ramzan is the most prestigious month for the Muslims. They do according to the sunnah of fasting and recite roza rakhne ki dua every morning before prayer of Fajar. In the evening, Muslims recite dua for closing fast at the time of prayer of Maghrib.
Throughout the Ramadan month, people wake up early at Namaz E Tahajjud and then start making arrangements for Sehri. When they do sehri ki niyat, they cook delicious foods to eat. They offer nafl, give best wishes of Ramadan to each other and do dua for the blessings of Allah Almighty.
Facts About Ramadan
Why do Muslims Fast during Ramadan
Like Muslims today, the Prophet Muhammad and his contemporaries fasted as an act of being thankful to God.
Due to a commandment from Allah, Muslims observe fast during the month of Ramadan. Because Allah loves fasting and instructs His believers to fast, Muslims honor Him via this practice.
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
O you who believe! Observing As-Sawm (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqun (pious).
اے ایمان والو! تم پر روزے فرض کیے گئے ہیں، جس طرح تم سے پہلے لوگوں پر فرض کیے گئے تھے، تاکہ تم پرہیزگار بن جاؤ۔
[al-Baqarah 2:183]
This month, every person distributes love and seeks Allah’s blessings. The sunnah of fasting teaches Muslims to be patient in every matter and seek help from Allah Almighty.
People understand each other and help according to their strengths. Many people invite other people to have sehri at their place for the sake of Allah’s love and perform the sunnah of fasting throughout this Holy month.
