 Importance of Ramzan month in Islam

Fasting is a practice observed in every religion in some way or the other. However, Ramzan, the period of fasting for Muslims, is the longest and it is said the that the Prophet himself interceded on behalf of humanity by asking God to reduce the mandatory six months of fasting to one month.


On a deeper level, the meaning of fasting during Ramzan goes beyond just physical deprivation. It is a manifestation of love for the Divine by giving love to other human beings. So if one fasts one must understand the pangs of hunger and thirst suffered by the poor and one must accordingly give generously out of one's wealth.


The   month of Ramadan is not only the month of fasting. It is also the month of the   Qur’an. The Qur’an is the Muslim Scripture. “Ramadan is the (month) in which   the Qur’an was sent down, as a guide to mankind, also Clear (Signs) for   guidance and the differentiation (between right and wrong)”


Allah has made Laylat al-Qadr (The Night of Decree/Power) in this month, which is better than a thousand months.


During Ramzan eating for oneself and to satisfy the senses is not recommended; instead one should break the fast and part take of Iftar with others, especially with those who cannot afford a meal. The spirit of fasting accommodates acts of charity and kindness to others.


The evening prayer, which is offered each night after the fast, is an indicator that the fast is for God and, therefore, communion with God is essential.


Scientifically speaking, fasting is considered good for health as it rids the body of toxins. But on a spiritual level, fasting means abstaining from indulgence in all kinds of desires and negative actions that removes the toxins of evil from the mirror of the soul so that it begins to reflect the love and mercy of Allah Pak.

The main   objective of fasting is to achieve piety and righteousness. This implies   becoming conscious of our Creator, increasing our responsiveness of His dignity,   exalting and glorifying His names and attributes, appreciating His greatness,   recalling His blessings upon us, and being grateful and thankful for His   guidance.


The   month of Ramadan is not only the month of fasting. It is also the month of the   Qur’an. The Qur’an is the Muslim Scripture. “Ramadan is the (month) in which   the Qur’an was sent down, as a guide to mankind, also Clear (Signs) for   guidance and the differentiation (between right and wrong)”
