25th Rajab is the martyrdom day of the 7th descendant of Holy Prophet,

Hazrat Imam Moosa-e-Kazim (a.s) bin Imam Jaffar Sadiq (a.s). His

kunyas (epithet) were Abul Hassan, Abu Ibrahim and Abu Ali. He is

known as Al Abdus Saleh (the pious worshipper of Allah). One of his tittles

is 'Babul Hawa'ij' (the door to fulfilling needs). Generosity wassynonymous with his name and no beggar ever returned from his door

empty handed. Even after his martyrdom, he continues to be obliging and

is generous to his devotees who come to his Holy tomb with prayers. The

period of his Imamate was thirty-five years.

The patience and forbearance of imam Moosa-e-Kazim was such that he

was given the title of Al-Kazim (one who suppresses his anger). In other

words he was called Al-Kazim because of his restraint of anger and thepatience (which he showed) in the face of the acts of the oppressors right

up until the time he martyred.

He was the embodiment of virtue, generosity, gallantry, boldness,

forgiveness, and tolerance. It is reported that he used to pray

supererogatory prayers throughout the night so that he would make them

extend until the morning prayer, then continue them until the sun rose. Hewould remain prostrating himself before Allah without raising his head

from prayer and praising Allah until the sun came near to descending. He

used to weep so much out of fear of Allah that his beard would be wet with

tears.

Imam Moosa-e- Kazim (a.s) martyred in 183 A.H. in prison where he

passed 14 years of his life till he was poisoned by Haroon al Rasheed, the

most cruel and tyrannical king of Abbasid Emperor. His holy corpse was

taken out of the prison and left on the bridge of Baghdad. Then an

announcement was made: "This man Moosa bin Jaffar (a.s) has died." His

son Hazrat Imam Raza (a.s) undertook the washing and shrouding of his

holy body. At that time Imam Moosa Kazim was 55 years of age.

TNFJ observes this day as 'Youm-e-0-Babul Hawa'ij' throughout the world

with respect and reverence. The night between 26 and 27 Rajab is one of

the blessed nights. It's the night of Annunciation and Accession of

Holy Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh).

On 28th Rajab Imam Hussain (a.s) made his departure from Madina

Munawwara to Kerbala.

The Glory of the Month of RamazanIt was reserved for Islam to prescribe and perfect a formula for spiritual

purification for every one of its followers, not with standing the state of

society he may belong to, and which can be followed without interfering

with his normal avocations and callings in everyday life.

Whatever calling or vocation a Muslim may be engaged in, it does nothinder him from obeying this divine commandment which is one of the five

fundamental tenets of Islam.

The word Ramazan is derived from the root ramaz which indicates heat

and restlessness. It is said that the month signifies the hardships that

accompany a fast, like thirst and a comparative sluggishness.

The best explanation was given by the Holy Prophet (s.a.w). He said:Ramazan burns the skin and faults as fire burns wood.

The Muslim fast means a complete abstinence from eating or drinking

between daybreak and sunset. The sighting of the new moon of Ramazan

heralds for the Muslim the beginning of a month of glory and of spiritual

elevation, when, at Allahs command, he denies himself between daybreak

and sunset the blessing of food and drink for a whole month and

surrenders himself wholly to Allah, exercising at the same time, complete

control over his thoughts, speech and actions.

Ramazan has another special significance for Muslim, for it was in this

month that the first revelation of the Holy Quran was made to the Holy

93


4/16

Prophet (s.a.w). This month, therefore, is dear to the heart of every

Muslim. During this month the Muslim applies himself more assiduously

to the reading of the Holy Book, which shall remain for all time as the

standing miracle of Mohammad (s.a.w), may the peace and blessings of

Allah be upon him. Throughout this month is heard, in every Muslim

home, during the day and night, the pleasant and beautiful cadences ofQuranic recitation.

In this Holy month of Ramazan it should therefore be the duty of every

Muslim to read and try to understand the meaning of The Holy Quran and

thereby gain an insight into the divine secrets enshrined therein. It brings

peace and illumination to the mind, imparts purity to the soul and removes

many a curtain hanging between man and God.

The Holy Quran says:O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those

before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint. (2:183)

Ramazan is the (month) in which was sent down the Quran, as a guide to

mankind, also clear (signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and

wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month

should spend it in fasting, but if any one is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed

period (should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you;He does not want to put you to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the

prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and

perchance ye shall be grateful. (2:185).

The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) said:O people, the month (Ramazan) of Allah has come with His mercies and

blessing. This is the month, which is the best of all months in the estimation

of Allah. Its days are best among the days. Its nights are best among the

nights. Its hours are best among the hours.

This holiest of months also is a month of mourning for the followers and

lovers of the Ahlul-Bait (a.s.), as it was during these days of fasting that the

prince of believers and the leader of the pious, the brother of the Holy

Prophet (s.a.w.) and his first vicegerent, the fried of Allah and all believing

men and women, Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) was martyred. In the Holy Month

of Ramazan, Allah (s.w.t.) delivered to us His Words, & took back from

this world the flawless personification of those very Words.

Masael of Fasting and RamazanFasting means that a person must, in obedience to the commands of Allah,

from the time of Azan for Fajr prayers up to Maghrib, avoid nine things

which will be mentioned later.

It is not necessary for a person to pass the niyyat for fasting through his

mind or to say that he would be fasting on the following day. In fact, it is

sufficient for him to decide that in obedience to the command of Allah he

will not perform from the time of Azan for Fajr prayers up to Maghrib,

any act which may invalidate the fast and in order to ensure that he has

been fasting throughout this time he should begin abstaining earlier than

the Azan for Fajr prayers, and continue to refrain for some time after

sunset from acts which invalidate a fast.

A person can make niyyat every night of the Holy Month of Ramazan, and

it is better to make niyyat on the first night of Ramazan that he/she would

fast throughout that month. The last time for making niyyat to observe a

fast of Ramazan for a conscious person, is moments before Azan of Fajr

prayers. This means he/she must be intent upon fasting at that time, even if

he latter became heedless of his/her intention due to sleep, etc. If a person

sleep before Azan for Fajr prayers in Ramazan or any other day fixed for

an obligatory fast without making a niyyat, and wakes up before Zuhr tomake a niyyat of fast, his fast will be in order. But if he wakes up after

Zuhr, as a precaution, he/she should continue with the abstinence with the

niyyat of Qurbat and then give its Qaza also.

Things which make a fast void:There are nine acts which invalidate fast:

1. Eating and drinking.

2. Sexual intercourse.3. Masturbation (Istimna) which means self abuse, resulting in ejaculation.

4. Ascribing false things to Almighty Allah, or his Prophet or to the

successors of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.).

5. Swallowing thick dust.

6. Immersing ones complete head in water.

7. Remaining in Janabat or Haiz or Nifas until the Azan for Fajr prayers.

8. Enema with liquids.

9.Vomiting.

95


6/16

If a person intentionally and voluntarily commits an act which invalidates

fast, his/her fast becomes void, but if he does not commit such an act

intentionally, there is no harm in it (i.e. his/her fast is valid). However, if a

person in Janabat sleeps and does not do Ghusl till the time of Fajr Azan,

his/her fast is void. Similarly, if a person due to utter ignorance of the rule

that a certain act will invalidate the fast, or due to reliance upon some

authority which he/she thought was genuine, unhesitatingly commits an actwhich invalidates the fast, his/her fast will not void, except in the cases of

eating, drinking and sexual intercourse.

Fasting is not obligatory on a person who cannot fast because of old age, or

for whom fasting causes extreme hardship. But in latter case, he/she should

give one time food to a poor person for every fast.

If a person, who did not fast during the month of Ramazan owing to oldage, becomes capable of fasting later, he/she should, on the basis of

recommended precaution, give the Qaza.

Fasting is not obligatory on a person who suffers from a disease which

causes excessive thirst, making it unbearable, or full of hardship. But in

the latter case, that is, of hardship, he/she should give one time of food to

poor, for every fast.

At the same time, as a recommended precaution, such a person may not

drink water in a quantity more than essential. If he/she recovers later,

enabling him/her to fast, then as a recommended precaution, he/she should

give Qaza for the fast.

Fasting is not obligatory on a woman in advanced stage of pregnancy, for

which fasting is harmful or for the child she carries. For every day,

however, she should give one time of food to poor. In both the cases, she

has to give Qaza for the fasts which are left out.

If a woman is suckling a child, whether she is the mother or a nurse, or

suckles it free, and the quantity of her milk is small, and if fasting is

harmful to her or to the child, it will not be obligatory on her to fast. And

she should give one time of food per day to poor.

In both the cases, she will later give Qaza for the fasts left out. But this rule

is specifically applicable in a circumstance where this is the only way96


7/16

of feeling milk to child (as an obligatory precaution). But if there is an

alternative, like, when more than one woman offer to suckle the child, then

establishing this rule is a matter of Ishkal.

It is haraam to fast on the day of Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Azha. It is also

haraam to fast with the Niyyat of first fast of Ramazan on a day about

which he/she is not sure whether it is the last of Shabaan or the first ofRamazan.

It is haraam for a wife to keep a Mustahab fast if by so doing she would

not be able to attend to her duties to her husband. And the obligatory

precaution is that even if she can attend to her duties towards her husband,

she should not observe a Mustahab fast without his permission. It is

haraam for the children to observe Mustahab fast if it causes emotional

suffering to their parents.

If a son observes Mustahab fast without the permission of his father, and

his father prohibits him from it during the day time, the son should break

the fast if his disobedience would hurt the feeling of father.

If a person knows that fasting is not harmful to him/her, he/she should fast

even if his doctor advises that it is harmful. And if a person is certain or

has a feeling that fasting is harmful to him/her, he/she should not fast evenif the doctor advises for it, and if he/she fasts in these circumstances,

his/her fast will not be valid if it turns out that the fast was actually

harmful, or if it was not kept with the Niyyat of Qurbat.

Niyyat (Intention) Roza

Roza rakhhata/rakhhaty hu Mah-e-Ramazan Wajib Qurbatan illal-lah.It is also recommended that Surah Al-Qadar be recited before opening the

fast.

Dua (pray) Iftar-e-Roza

O! My Allah, for thee, I fast, and with the food thou give me I break the

fast, and I rely on thee.97


8/16

Duaa (prayer) to be recited after five time prayers (Wajib Namaz)

in the Holy month of Ramazan:

In The Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful O

The Exalted, O the Immense one, O the Forgiving, O the Merciful you arethe great Lord, nothing can be compared with Him He observes all and

hears all and this is the month you have bestowed it greatness, dignity,

honour and supremacy over all Other months. You have decreed fasting

for me and the month of Ramazan is the month in which you have revealed

Holy Quran which is guidance for people and proofs of guidance

distinguishing right from wrong. You have caused in it the night of glory

(Lailatul-Qadr) and made it better than a thousand months. O who is

kind and upon Whom nobody has placed obligation, show kindness to meby liberating me from hell like those to whom you have showed kindness

and place me in paradise (Jannah) with your blessing, O the most

compassionate.

otaqaaeka minan-Naar", i.e., "O Allahtreat me as one of those who are free from Hell, in the name of this

Holy Book sent by Thee, whatever there be in the Book. Including

promised, fulfil that. Verily! I am Tine humble, weak and destitute servant.

O Allah! Let me not forget the blessings that Thou hast bestowed on me,

and let me not be forgetful about Tine kindness. Do not deny me Tineacceptance though it may be delayed, may it pertain to sorrow or

Charity1. A man giving in alms one piece of silver in his lifetime is better for him

than giving one hundred when about to die.

2. To meet friends cheerfully and invite them to a feast are charitable acts.

3. To extend consideration towards neighbours and send those presents are

charitable acts.

Education1. To acquire knowledge is binding upon all Muslims, whether male or

female.

2. The ink of the scholar is more holy than the blood of the martyr.

3. He who travels in the search of knowledge, to him Allah shows the way

of Paradise.

4. Acquire knowledge, because he who acquires it, in the way of the Lord,

performs an act of piety; who speaks of it praises the Lord; who seeks it,

adores Allah, who dispenses instruction in it, bestows alms; and who

imparts it to its fitting objects, performs an act of devotion to Allah.

Knowledge enables its possessor to distinguish what is forbidden fromwhat is not; lights the way to Heaven; it is our friend in the desert, our

companion in solitude, our companion, when bereft of friends; it guides us
