     OP - March 20, 2023, 03:10 PM


    Ramadan is a very special month for the Muslims, as in it Muslims around the world perform various types of worship, the most important of them being fasting. This fasting of Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam, mandatory upon all adolescents and adults who have the ability. Ramadan is also the month in which the first revelation came to the Prophet Muhammad, and thus is called the “Month of the Quran”.


    God says in the Quran:
    “Fasting has been prescribed for you as it has been prescribed for those before you in order that you become of the God-conscious.” (Quran 2:183)

    During Ramadan, Muslims try to adhere to three types of worship - three of the five pillars of the Islamic faith.

    The first is Sawm, ie fasting. Throughout the month, most Muslims refrain from eating or drinking between dawn and sunset.

    The second is Zakat, which is charity - they are encouraged to give 2.5% of their annual income during Ramadan.

    The third is salat, which is to pray. Muslims are encouraged to pray five times a day. Traditionally, many also attend additional communal prayers, called Taraweeh, which take place every evening.

    Muslims are also encouraged to read the entire Quran during the month of Ramadan. This is a time of spiritual concentration and deep contemplation.

    Why do Muslims fast?
    The first fast is believed to have taken place in 624 CE, when the Prophet Muhammad persuaded the people of Medina to give up their food and donate it to the starving worshipers who followed him from Mecca.




    The reasons for fasting are many. It is seen as a way to come closer and focus more clearly on one's relationship with God. It is a reminder of one's dependence on God for sustenance and - by experiencing hunger and thirst - a way to feel more compassionate towards those in need.

    Fasting is also seen as a way to learn discipline and patience and to break bad habits, and some also see it as a way to cleanse the body of impurities.


    How and when does fasting take place?
    Observant Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. This means that they must refrain from eating, drinking (including water), smoking and having sex during the day, which is particularly difficult if Ramadan takes place in the spring, when the days are longer.


    You have to wake up early in the morning to stock up on food and water at the dawn meal called suhoor, and eat nothing for 16 hours. After the sun goes down, Muslims traditionally break their fast with friends and family at a ceremonial meal called iftar.

    How can I support a friend or colleague who is fasting?

    Traditionally, most Muslims continue to work and, if schools are open, attend classes during Ramadan, even if they cannot eat or drink for hours. If you work or live near someone who is fasting, here are some ways to actively show your support



    • Be patient: If a friend or colleague is irritable due to lack of sleep, food and water, don't take it personally.



    • If you manage someone at work who observes Ramadan, you may be able to help them by offering them flexible working hours that better accommodate their modified eating and sleeping schedules.


    • Be mindful of prayer times: Your friend or co-worker may not be able to host a video meeting or meet you for a walk outside at certain times of the day if they are praying or s he doesn't have the energy to exercise.



    • Do not ask a Muslim why he is not eating or if he is hungry! But you can wish him a blessed and happy Ramadan by saying Ramadan Mubarak to him.


    Should all Muslims fast?
    Not all Muslims are required to fast. There are special exemptions for young children, the elderly and anyone who is sick, pregnant, breastfeeding or menstruating.

    Only God (the Father) can heal people from their diseases

    But the prophets Moses, Jesus, Muhammad and others cannot grant healing to people


    Unless God grants them a miracle of healing to prove the sincerity of their message

    If the healing was through Jesus or someone else, why didn't he heal all the sick people in hospitals?

    The night of Al-Qadr is the most virtuous night of the year. Allah says in the Qur’an: “We revealed it on the night of power [that is, Al-Qadr]. What will tell you what the night of power is? It is better than a thousand months.” Any action therein, for example, reciting the Qur’an, making remembrance of Allah, and so on, is better than acting for one thousand months which do not contain the night of Al-Qadr. It is preferred to seek this night:



    It is preferred to seek this night during the last ten nights of Ramadan, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, strove his best in seeking it during that time. We have already mentioned that the Prophet would stay up during the last ten nights, would wake his wives, and then would remain apart from them to worship.


    Scholars hold different opinions as to the night, which is the night of Al-Qadr.
    Which night is Laylat ul Qadr?

    Scholars hold different opinions as to the night, which is the night of Al-Qadr. Some are of the opinion that it is the 21st, some say the 23rd, others say the 25th and still others say it is the 29th. Some say that it varies from year to year but it is always among the last ten nights of Ramadan. Most scholars, though, vouch for the 27th. Ahmad recorded, with a Authentic chain, from Ibn Umar that the Prophet said: “He who likes to seek that night should do so on the 27th. ‘Ubayy ibn Kab said: By Allah, and there is no god but Him, it is during Ramadan-and He swore to that-and by Allah, I know what night it is. It is the night during which the Prophet ordered us to make prayers, the night of the 27th. Its sign is that the sun rises in the morning white and without any rays.” (Related by Muslim, Abu Dawud, Ahmad, and by At-Tirmidhi who called it Authentic.)
    Praying and making supplications during the night of Al-Qadr:

    Al-Bukhari and Muslim record from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Whoever prays during the night of Al-Qadr with faith and hoping for its reward will have all of his previous sins forgiven.”

    As to the supplication during the night of Al-Qadr, `A’ishah said: “I asked the Messenger of Allah: ‘O Messenger of Allah, if I know what night is the night of qadr, what should I say during it?’ He said: ‘Say: O Allah, You are pardoning and You love to pardon, so pardon me.’ ” (Related by Ahmad, Ibn Majah, and by At-Tirmidhi, who called it Authentic.)

    Taraweeh Prayers

    Muslims perform Taraweeh prayers as special nightly prayers during the month of Ramadan. They consider these prayers highly virtuous and perform them after the obligatory Isha (night) prayer.

    The word “Taraweeh” derives from the Arabic word for “rest” or “relaxation,” indicating the breaks taken between sets of prayers. Typically, believers perform these prayers in congregation at mosques, with an Imam leading, involving the recitation of long portions of the Quran.

    Taraweeh prayers offer believers an opportunity to engage in additional acts of worship and spiritual reflection during Ramadan. Many Muslims cherish these prayers as a means of seeking forgiveness, drawing closer to Allah, and strengthening their connection to the Quran.Believers deeply ingrain the practice of performing Taraweeh prayers in Islamic tradition, considering it significantly important during the blessed month of Ramadan.

    May Allah’s immaculate grace and exceptional wisdom conquer your life as you celebrate this holy month of Ramadan. Have a blessed Ramadan!

    Ramadan this year comes as the Middle East remains inflamed by the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, with tens of thousands of Palestinians killed. Many in the blockaded territory are going hungry; particularly in the devastated north, people are scrambling for food to survive.


    Some Muslims are striving to remain mindful of the Palestinians’ plight during Ramadan, including through making donations, saying prayers or incorporating Palestinian traditional symbols in how they mark the holy month.

    There are numerous hadiths from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that emphasize the significance of Ramadan:

    1. “Whoever fasts Ramadan out of faith and in hope of reward, his previous sins will be forgiven.” [Bukhari (38) and Muslim (759)]

    This hadith underscores the immense spiritual rewards and blessings associated with fasting during Ramadan. It serves as a means of seeking forgiveness for past sins and drawing closer to Allah through sincere faith and devotion.

    2. “There has come to you Ramadan, a blessed month which Allah has enjoined you to fast, during which the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the rebellious devils are chained up. In it there is a night which is better than a thousand months, and whoever is deprived of its goodness is indeed deprived.” [Nasai, 2106; Ahmad, 8769]

    It emphasizes the importance of fasting during this sacred month, highlighting it as a time when the gates of heaven open, the gates of Hell close, and the influence of evil forces weakens.Furthermore, it highlights the significance of Laylat al-Qadr, the Night of Decree, describing it as better than a thousand months in terms of its spiritual value and rewards.

     There are certain exemptions from fasting, such as for those who are unable to because of illness or travel. Those unable to fast due to being temporarily ill or traveling need to make up for the missed days of fasting later. Young children, the elderly, and menstruating, pregnant and breastfeeding women are also exempted.


    It is recommended not to do anything that could cause the fast to be broken, however, some cases that cause the fast to be broken do not necessarily invalidate it, such as drinking or eating mechanically, forgetting that one is supposed to be fasting.


    As for the case of breaking the fast without an excuse,

    the person must compensate for his mistake by fasting one day for each day he did not fast,

    Or to fulfill the needs of those in need through charity.



     Some Muslims decorate their homes, put out Ramadan-themed tableware and centerpieces



    Colorful lanterns, in different shapes and sizes, dangle from children’s hands and adorn homes or the entrances of buildings and stores.




    In various regions, some Muslims worry that the month is being commercialized, and that an emphasis on decorations, TV shows, outings or lavish iftar banquets, especially in the social media era, can detract from Ramadan’s religious essence.

    In the United States, home to a diverse, small but growing Muslim population, gathering at mosques and Islamic centers when possible for iftar meals and prayers provides many Muslim families with a sense of community.
