WHAT IS
RAMADAN?
Ramadan is the ninth month in the Mus-
lim lunar calendar. Healthy adult Muslims
fast in Ramadan from dawn until dusk. This
includes abstaining from drinking, eating,
immoral acts and anger. Other acts of wor-
ship such as prayer, reading the Quran and
charity are also encouraged during the holy
month. Muslims also believe the Quran was
revealed in Ramadan.

During the holy month, Muslims wake up

early to eat a pre-dawn meal called suhoor,
and they break their fast with a meal re-
ferred to as iftar. It is common for mosques
to host large iftars, especially for the poor
and needy. Nightly prayers called Tarawih
are also held in mosques after iftar.
The last 10 days of Ramadan is marked by
intense worship as Muslims ask to have
their prayers answered during “Laylat
al-Qadr” or “the Night of Destiny.” Mus-
lims believe that during the odd nights of
the last 10 days; 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th
of Ramadan, God sent the Angel Gabriel to
the Prophet Muhammad and revealed the
first verses of the Quran.
After these intense nights of prayer, the end
of Ramadan is met with a holiday called Eid
al-Fitr. Children often receive new clothes,
gifts and cash. Muslims attend early morn-
ing Eid prayers the day after Ramadan.
Families typically spend the day at parks,
eating in the daytime for the first time in a
month.
HOW TO FAST
DURING RAMADAN
Muslims must abstain from all eating,
drinking or smoking from dawn to dusk
each day for the entire lunar month, around
30 days. A single sip of water or coffee, or a
puff of a cigarette, is enough to invalidate
the fast. Sexual intercourse is also forbid-
den during the daylong fast, and Muslims
are encouraged to avoid gossip, arguments
and idle time.
To prepare for the fast, Muslims wake for
a pre-dawn meal called “suhoor.” Often
the small meal will include vegetables and
fruits, tea, yogurt, dates and power foods
such as beans and lentils. Muslims tradi-
tionally break their fast like the Prophet
Muhammad did some 1,400 years ago, with
a sip of water and some dates at sunset. Af-
ter sunset prayers, a large feast known as
“iftar” is shared with family and friends.
WHY WE FAST
Muslims all over the world observe the annu-
al fast during the daylight hours of Ramadan,
the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calen-
dar, in keeping with a divine commandment
documented in Chapter 2, Verse 185 of the
Holy Qur’an. The main reason for fasting is
to develop self-discipline and piety. That’s
why Muslims are to abstain from gossip, lies,
obscenity, vulgarity and physical, mental and
spiritual sins.
Almighty God mentioned in the Quran, chap-
ter 2, verse 183: “O you who believe. Fasting is
prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those
before you that you may obtain self-restraint.”
Fasting during Ramadan purifies the actions
and thoughts of Muslims. also has physical,
spiritual and social benefits. Fasting elevates
a level of God consciousness, increases taqwa.
Muslims focus on strengthening their per-
sonal relationship with the creator. This is
the period of spiritual reflection through ex-
tra prayer and recitation of the Holy Quran.
Fasting makes one aware of many bounties
of almighty God which we take for granted.
The hunger and thirst remind a fasting person
about the poor and destitute who they may
increase sympathy and generosity for the less
fortunate.
Taqwa implies guarding one’s self from evil
and the imbibing of all elements of righteous-
ness, thus reflecting the essence of piety. In its
ethical dimension, it connotes moral rectitude
(which is the fruit of God-oriented vigilance),
and in its spiritual dimension it connotes pu-
rification of heart and mind.
Through fasting, one demonstrates the highest
degree of obedience by willfully submitting to
abstaining from lawful food, drink, and sexu-
al relations from sunrise to sunset one month
every year. This regimentation is an excellent
means for spiritual and moral improvement.
Through fasting, the human being comes to
grip with his carnal self, taming his physical
appetites, subduing his greed and lust, and
thus traversing a path which progressively el-
evates his consciousness from the physical to
the moral and ultimately to the spiritual di-
mension of his being. This consciousness and
submission is in a cultivation of self-discipline
and is the ideal catalyst to improve society by
improving the individual self.

 GOOD PRACTICES IN RAMADAN

Sahoor
The Prophet ‫ صىل الله عليه وسلم‬said: “Take the Suhur, for there is in it blessing.” (Sahih al-
Bukhari)

Iftaar
The Prophet ‫ صىل الله عليه وسلم‬said: “My Ummah will continue to be upon good for as long
as they hasten to break the fast and delay the pre-dawn meal.” (Sahih al-Bukhari)

Sadaqah
Ibn ‘Abbaas ‫ ريض الله عنه‬said: “The Prophet ‫ صىل الله عليه وسلم‬was the most generous of people, but
he would be his most generous during Ramadan when he would meet with the Angel Jibreel. He
would meet with him every night and recite the Qur’an. When Jibreel met him, he used to be
more generous than a fast wind.” (Sahih al-Bukhari)

Reciting the Qur’an

The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said, about the recitation of the Quran, “Whoever draws near
to Allah during it (Ramadan) with a single characteristic from the characteristics of (vol-
untary) goodness, he is like whoever performs an obligatory act in other times. And who-
ever performs an obligatory act during it, he is like whoever performed seventy obligatory
acts in other times.” (Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah)

The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said about the person who struggles: “Verily the one who re-
cites the Qur’an beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company of the noble
and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stum-
bling through its verses, then he will have TWICE that reward.” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Recitation of the Quran is important and blessed in Ramadan also because as it was
brought down upon the holy Prophet (PBUH) in this month, Jibreel would visit the Proph-
et (PBUH) every night in Ramadan and study the word of Allah with him. On the night of
Al-Qadr, the Quran was recited with utmost pleasure and concentration as these were the
virtuous nights, ones that would give the highest number of blessings. This automatically
made the month of Ramadan a blessed one indeed.

The Prophet ‫ صىل الله عليه وسلم‬said: “Seek it (Lailatul Qadr) in the last (ten nights). If one
among you shows slackness and weakness (in the earlier part of Ramadan), it should not
be allowed to prevail upon him in the last week. (Sahih Muslim)
 THINGS THAT NULLIFY THE FAST

1. Sexual Intercourse: If it is done during

the day in Ramadan, by someone who
is obligated to fast then he has to make
a great expiation along with making up
that day. The expiation is to free a slave. If
he can’t find one to free or is not capable,
then he has to fast for two consecutive
months. And if he not capable of doing
this, then he has to feed sixty poor people.
2. Ejaculation while one is awake through
masturbation, hugging, kissing, fondling,
etc.
7. The extraction of blood by means of
cupping (Hijaamah), and similar means.
However, if blood comes out, by itself,
such as nasal bleeding or tooth extraction,
and likewise, then this does not break the
fast; for this is neither cupping nor im-
plied in its meaning.
8. Deliberately vomiting. If it is uninten-
tional, it does not break the fast.

3. Eating or drinking, whether the thing

THE STORY OF HAJAR,
THE IRON LADY
Hajar was the wife of the
Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and
the mother of Prophet Is-

Islam, however she herself
stands on her own, as a no-

MY GENERAL RAMADAN REFLECTIONS

MUSA (A.S), THE PROPHET
OF THE PEOPLE OF FIRAWN
Through out the Quran the
Prophet Musa (A.S) is men-
tioned so often that he be-
comes the most mentioned
prophet. His story is also
long and enduring and car-
ries with it many lessons,
amongst these is that of the
time when he is asked by
Allah to preach to Firawn.
Musa (A.S) reminds us
how human prophets are.
First and most significant
to this story is his speech
impediment which made
it difficult for him to com-
municate and second was
his need to escape from
Firawn. His need for escape
spurs from the fact that in
Egypt at the time his peo-
ple were often oppressed,
we can only imagine how
difficult it is therefore that
he grows up in the house-
hold of the oppressor. One
day Musa comes across an
altercation, here, one of his
people, is in a fight with an-
other person and cries out
for Musa to help. Unfortu-
nately in an attempt to pro-
tect one of his own he hurts
and kills the other person,
by mistake, he is therefore
forced to Flee from Egypt.
Musa moves away and even
marries the daughter of a
noble man before setting
to return to Egypt after 10
years. This is when he is in-
structed by Allah to return
to Firawn and preach the
message of Islam. Here, al-
though Musa does not raise
a point about his speech
and confidence failing him,
he prays to Allah to grant
him confidence and make
his speech clear, and make
it so that his brother Harun
(A.S) can help him. Yes,
Musa is only human, but
still once Allah instructs
him, he does not cower
away despite his fears and
lack of confidence, instead
he makes Du’a and trusts in
Allah.
Allah instructs that Musa
(A.S) speak gently to
Firawn. This should be a
great lesson to us, once we
understand how terrible a
person Firawn is. Despite
all his evil Allah still in-
structs Musa (A.S) to pass
his message across gently.
Therefore keep in mind
that no matter who you are
speaking to, the message of
Islam is gentle. Although
Firawn of course does not
listen to the preaching of
Musa, the Prophet (A.S) is
still successful in convey-
ing his message to others.
Firawn on the other hand
eventually leads himself to
his own demise.
In his several stories Musa
(A.S) teaches us to be brave,
trust in Allah and make
constant Dua even when
we ourselves do not see a
solution in sight.
