A great blessed month

People, a great blessed month has come upon you.

Allah has made fasting during it an obligation, and steadfastly

observing its nights in worship a voluntary act.

Whoever undertakes an act of obedience to Allah during this

month with a righteous deed, it is as if he has performed an

obligatory act at other times,

and whoever performs an obligatory act during it is as one who

performed seventy obligations at other times.

It is the month of patience, and the reward for patience is

Paradise.

It is the month of goodwill, during which provisions are multiplied.

Prophet Muhammads (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

address on the eve of Ramadan:

Fasting and sins dont go together

Allah has no need for the hunger and the thirst of theperson who does not restrain from telling lies and

acting on them even while observing fast.

Prophet Muhammads (peace and blessings of Allah be

upon him) said:

When one of you is fasting, He should abstain from

indecent acts and unnecessary talk, and if someonebegins an obscene conversation or tries to pick an

argument, he should simply tell him, I am fasting.

Reward of fasting

Every action of the son of Adam is given

manifold reward, each good deed receiving

ten times its like, up to seven hundred times.Allah the Most High said, Except for fasting,

for it is for Me and I will give recompense for

it, he leaves off his desires and his food for

Me. for the fasting person there are two times

of joy; a time when he breaks his fast and a

time of joy when he meets his Lord, and thesmell coming from the mouth of the fasting

person is better with Allah than the smell of

musk.

Prophet Muhammads (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) proclaimed the

reward of fasting:

poor and hungry people may be present in

your neighbourhood. Do you feel how the

hungry and thirsty feel?

The condition of hunger gets highlighted on each

fasting person leading to:

Care and concern for the poor and hungry Helping attitude towards have-nots Charity and donations Refrain from wasting food and drinks. Social responsibility

Fasting for good health

Fast and you

shall

become healthy-Prophet Muhammad(peace and

blessings

of Allah be upon him)

Fasting gives the body the environment to

heal itself--physiologic rest

Abstinence from food for a short time can

in no way operate to the disadvantage of a

normal person.

In fact, individuals affected with certain

types of gastrointestinal disorders are

benefited by fasting.

Fasting has also been used in cases of

diabetes and obesity.

It is a cleansing process and a physiologic

or functional rest which prepares the body

for future correct living.

A wise old man once

said "You need to

sacrifice to achievegreat things". Ramadan

to me, is a reiteration of

this same saying.

Is Allah merciful to His slaves or

isn't he? And: Is Jannahreachable or isn't it? YES YES

YES! But what's the catch? You

have to want it and you have to

thus work for it.
