Muslims around the world are observing the holy month of Ramadan, with worship, charity, dawn-to-dusk fasting and nightly feasts.
The daily fast in Ramadan includes abstaining from all food and drink; not even a sip of water is allowed from dawn to sunset before breaking the fast in a meal known as iftar in Arabic. Those fasting are expected to also refrain from bad deeds, such as gossiping, and increase good deeds.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and begins with the sighting of the crescent moon.
Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam, along with the profession of faith, prayer, almsgiving and the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca.
Fasting is regarded as an act of worship to attain God-conscious piety and one of submission to God. The devout see benefits such as practicing self-restraint, cultivating gratitude, growing closer to God, and feeling empathy for the poor and hungry.
Muslims typically stream into mosques for congregational prayers and dedicate more time for religious contemplation and the reading of the Quran, the Islamic holy book.
Charity is a hallmark of Ramadan. Among other ways of giving, many seek to provide iftar for the needy, distributing Ramadan boxes filled with pantry staples, handing out warm meals alongside such things as dates and juice or helping hold free communal meals.
Muslims eat a predawn meal, called suhoor, to hydrate and nourish their bodies ahead of the daily fast.
mesaharati, who roams neighborhoods, calling out to the faithful, sometimes by name, to awake them for the suhoor meal.
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 Allahs immaculate grace and exceptional wisdom conquer your life as you celebrate this holy month of Ramadan. Have a blessed Ramadan!

Re: Ramadan Kareem
Post #12What is Laylat al-Qadr?
Allah (SWT) has bestowed special significance upon the month of Ramadan by designating Laylat-al-Qadr, the Night of Decree, within it.
The Quran states: "Indeed, it is We Who sent this Quran down on the Night of Qadr. And what will make you realise what the Night of Qadr is? The Night of Al-Qadr is better than a thousand months. Therein descend the angels and the Rooh [Jibreel (Gabriel)] by Allahs Permission with all Decrees, there is peace until the appearance of dawn." [Al-Qadr 97:1-5]
Laylat al-Qadr, meaning the night of decree in Arabic, signifies when the Holy Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad. Peace be upon him
Laylat al-Qadr is one of the most sacred nights on the Islamic calendar. It occurs only during Ramadan and lasts one night from sunset to sunrise. This divine night falls sometime during the last ten nights of Ramadan.
When is Laylat al-Qadr? When does it happen during Ramadan?
There is never a definite date for when Laylat al-Qadr occurs, but it is believed to fall during an odd-numbered night during the last 10 nights of Ramadan, with the odd-numbered nights being measured from the holy month's starting night.
What is the significance of Laylat al-Qadr?
On the night of Laylat al-Qadr, the holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad through angel Gabriel. The Quran is the direct word of God and contains moral code, spiritual guidance, and prophetic hadiths.
In the Quran Laylat al-Qadr, Worship in it is better than a thousand months any acts of worship performed on this night carry greater reward than on any other day.
Qadr, in Arabic, literally translates to destiny or decree. It is believed that Muslims can change their fate and what was written for them by God through prayer and supplication.
How do Muslims worship during the last 10 nights of Ramadan?
Because we will never know when Laylat al-Qadr occurs during the last 10 nights, Muslims are encouraged to take advantage of each night during the final one-third of Ramadan. The last 10 nights are said to be overflowing with Gods mercy and forgiveness.
Everyday Ramadan rituals remain, such as fasting, reading the Quran, and taraweeh (special Ramadan night prayers). Muslims will focus on repentance and spend entire nights worshipping instead of sleeping. Muslims also perform itikaf during these last 10 nights, which is the act of spending days and nights in a mosque to perform devout worship.
Generosity is heavily encouraged during the last 10 nights. This is called sadaqah, or voluntary charity, and can be in many forms, such as feeding someone a meal, donating to charity, performing a good deed, or doing an act of kindness.

Re: Ramadan Kareem
Post #14In Islam, there are indeed the chosens such as chosen places, chosen times and chosen people.
An example of a chosen place is the holy city of Mecca. To be more specific, it is the Kaaba.
The same goes for time. The chosen time is the month of Ramadan. To be more specific, it is the night of Laylatul Qadr.
The chosen people are also the Prophets (peace be upon them) and the righteous individuals mentioned in the Quran. Examples of these individuals are Zul Qarnain, Luqmanul Hakim, Maryam (peace be upon her) and so on.
You may not live in the holy city of Mecca to worship. And it is not certain that you can perform the Hajj for health or financial reasons. But you can make the place you live holy by making it a mosque. There you find peace by following the model of the mosque in the holy city of Mecca.
A place is that which man must come to. This is different from the time in which it came to man. Ramadan is a holy month where you are required to fast. However, that time will pass. But you miss the month of Ramadan so you can practice fasting as you do in the month of Ramadan. In terms of health, fasting can also help regulate sleep habits.
Finally, the most noble of humans is Prophet Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) among all the chosen humans. You are only an ordinary human. Therefore, follow what Prophet Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) has taught you so that you will be included in the righteous.
And Allah knows best.
English is my second language. Everything I write is translated by translation software or Artificial Intelligence. Debating Christianity And Religion is the answer to the redirecting obsession to myself. Islam is what saved me.

He knew how short and fleeting life is, he knew the value of Paradise and the pain of Hell, and he dedicated his entire life to guiding humanity. He desired nothing for himself and never sought revenge, neither for himself nor for his community.
We implore Allah to resurrect us among the Prophet's (peace be upon him) followers and to gather us under his banner.
May the divine Allah bless you with peaceful and prosperous life throughout the year. Happy Ramadan!

Re: Ramadan Kareem
Post #16We are encouraged to take our pattern and inspiration from the model of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ï·º, both as to his attitudes and as to his practices. He of course fasted daily throughout Ramadan without “days off.†By all accounts, his diet was much sparser than the tremendous variety we have available today. He could not look forward to an ifá¹Ã¢r (fast-breaking) banquet. Yet throughout the year he fasted recurrently on semi-fixed days and for special occasions; and he regularly spent long nights in Prayer with his Lord, reciting the verses of Guidance that had been entrusted to him for mankind’s benefit. The direct connection is clear for us, too, between fasting and closeness to Allah, mediating both an awareness of His Presence and facilitating a reception of His Guidance offered to “him who wills to be guided.â€

Re: Ramadan Kareem
Post #17Medical Benefits of Fasting (Ramadan)
The medical benefits of fasting are as a result of fasting. Fasting in general has been used in medicine for medical reasons including weight management, for rest of the digestive tract and for lowering lipids. There are many adverse effects of total fasting as well as so-called crash diets. Islamic fasting is different from such diet plans because in Ramadan fasting, there is no malnutrition or inadequate calorie intake. The caloric intake of Muslims during Ramadan is at or slightly below the national requirement guidelines. In addition, the fasting in Ramadan is voluntarily taken and is not a prescribed imposition from the physician.
Ramadan is a month of self-regulation and self-training, with the hope that this training will last beyond the end of Ramadan. If the lessons learned during Ramadan, whether in terms of dietary intake or righteousness, are carried on after Ramadan, it is beneficial for one’s entire life. Moreover, the type of food taken during Ramadan does not have any selective criteria of crash diets such as those which are protein only or fruit only type diets. Everything that is permissible is taken in moderate quantities.
The only difference between Ramadan and total fasting is the timing of the food; during Ramadan, we basically miss lunch and take an early breakfast and do not eat until dusk. Abstinence from water during this period is not bad at all and in fact, it causes concentration of all fluids within the body, producing slight dehydration. The body has its own water conservation mechanism; in fact, it has been shown that slight dehydration and water conservation, at least in plant life, improve their longevity.
The physiological effect of fasting includes lower of blood sugar, lowering of cholesterol and lowering of the systolic blood pressure. In fact, Ramadan fasting would be an ideal recommendation for treatment of mild to moderate, stable, non-insulin diabetes, obesity and essential hypertension. In 1994 the first International Congress on "Health and Ramadan," held in Casablanca, entered 50 research papers from all over the world, from Muslim and non-Muslim researchers who have done extensive studies on the medical ethics of fasting. While improvement in many medical conditions was noted; however, in no way did fasting worsen any patients’ health or baseline medical condition. On the other hand, patients who are suffering from severe diseases, whether diabetes or coronary artery disease, kidney stones, etc., are exempt from fasting and should not try to fast.
There are psychological effects of fasting as well. There is a peace and tranquility for those who fast during the month of Ramadan. Personal hostility is at a minimum, and the crime rate decreases. This psychological improvement could be related to better stabilization of blood glucose during fasting as hypoglycemia after eating, aggravates behavior changes.
Recitation of the Quran not only produces a tranquility of heart and mind, but improves the memory. Therefore, I encourage my Muslim patients to fast in the month of Ramadan, but they must do it under medical supervision. Healthy adult Muslims should not fear becoming weak by fasting, but instead it should improve their health and stamina.
