Everything you need to know about the holy month Ramzan/Ramadan

Every Muslim around the world (and those around you) talking about Ramzan as well as the blessings it shower upon the believers. It is a scientifically proven fact that fasting is good for your health. Ramzan is a ninth month in Islamic calendar. Islamic calendar or lunar calendar consists 12 months in a year with 354 or 355 days. So, each year every month shifts 10 days from the previous year, for example, last year Ramzan started from 26 May and this year it shifted 10 days earlier that is 17 May. Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) had said, “When the month of Ramzan starts, the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of hell are closed and the devils are chained.”

Following are some Ramzaan-ic elements that you should know-

1.       Breaking the fast- It is preferred to break a fast with date because it was the way Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) used to break the fast. But if a person doesn’t have dates then he/she can drink water.

2.       Charity- Charity is one of the important aspect in Islam and every Muslim should give charity as money or in other forms. Zakaat is one of the five fundamental pillars of Islam. It is a compulsory act that Muslim should perform. Zakaat is calculated on the basis of total savings of a person in one lunar year, whatever the savings would be its 2.5% part is zakaat. Sadqa is another form of charity, unlike Zakaat it is not compulsory but voluntary. It can be given at any time of the year, to anyone and it can be any amount a person may like. 

3.       30-Days of Ramzan- 30 or 29 days (depending on moon) of Ramzan is divided into three phases. Each phase has 10 days in it. First phase is known as “Rehmat” (Blessings), second phase is known as “Maghfirat” (Forgiveness) and last one is known “Nijat” (Riddance from hellfire). We all know that Islamic Holy Book, Quran was revealed in this month. It was said that Quran was revealed in the last phase of this month and in odd night, it could be 21, 23, 25, 27 or 29. But no one knows its exact date. 

Besides, in Ramzan every 1 good deed equals to 70. People do as much good work as possible. It is said that, as it is necessary to clean our house every year, Ramzan does the same to purify the soul. Ramzan is the month of immense blessing, spirituality, recitation and prayer. After all it’s the way to reach Ar-Rayyan (paradise). Charity is important because there are many people in the society who cannot afford the expenses. It help them to buy things for them and their family for Eid.

After observing fast for 30 days what Muslims get in reward is Eid-ul-Fitr (yayy). A person can observe fast whole year but it is prohibited to fast on the first day of Eid, because it’s the day of happiness, peace and harmony and above all it’s the day to eat Sewai.

Looking at the present government,

I realised why Socrates hated democracy!🤷🏾‍♀️

Life

Life is an amazing thing we ever get from God... It gave us so many challenges,so many exams... But it is us who have to choose about rights and wrongs of life :) This decision can make our life worse or can make our life better than ever

Destinations

Life is never just for everyone, We all suffer it differently, And for a little amount of time, We find solace in the support others provide to us, We start to think that maybe we are all same, In suffering, bearing, and all the torturous efforts of life, But that's never the case, Indeed, we all endure, But everyone has their own set of sufferings, We might be sailing on the same boat, But our destinations are indeed different...

Life, as we know it, is an unresolved

mystery,

An unnerving puzzle,

We spend our lives unravelling it,

But still unable to get the gist of it,

Though sometimes, at some stage,

We may think that everything is under our control,

Everything feels calm, collected and

content,

But that's the moment when life shows its true face,

It is the point when life throws its dice and turns everything upside down,

In a matter of moments, we lose everything,

Now, everything becomes disorganised, disgruntled, and dishevelled,

Things started to change, turning into

incomprehensible circumstances,

And with time, we do get to understand the mystery,

Not much, but enough to survive while alive,

For how long? No one knows,

All we know is that it's better to try live as much as we can,

Until we are here,

Until we all turn into ash & bone, buried deep down into the mysteries of what life is.
