Impotency Of Ramadan

Why The Ramadan So Impotent For Muslim Ummha. 

The true meaning of Ramadan is found through spiritual reflection and worship. Ramadan takes place in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, when the first verses of the Quran were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad by Allah (God). The fast that defines the month is intended to teach Muslims about humility before God, compassion, self-control, charity and honesty. Ramadan is the name of both the month during which Muslims seek to purify their faith and the fast that serves to deepen their connection to God.

Fasting

Muslims must fast during Ramadan, except travelers, the ill and women in certain circumstances, such as pregnancy. The fast begins each day at dawn and continues until sunset. No food or liquids are ingested during daylight hours. Muslims do not smoke during the fast and do not engage in marital relations. In general, personal indulgences are avoided, along with anything that might lead a worshipper away from prayer and the study of the Quran.

Many Muslim communities divide the Quran into 30 sections and recite a section each day during Ramadan. The month is an opportunity to seek spiritual purity, and the fast directs Muslims away from worldly distractions.

Dining

During Ramadan, Muslims prepare special meals to share. At sunset, three dates are eaten to commemorate the way the Prophet Muhammad broke his fast, followed by the offering of a special prayer. This often begins a festive dinner that celebrates the fellowship of Muslim families and friends. Banquets celebrate the unity of the Islamic world and the joy of community by emphasizing the special warmth of Ramadan. Often ornamental lights or lanterns are hung to decorate the festive gatherings.

Charity

Another of the many meanings of Ramadan is charity. Muslims give to the poor all year as an act of faith, but Ramadan is an especially sanctified time to donate to the needy. In many communities, public tables of food are set up where the poor can break their fasts in the evening.

Revelations

It was during Ramadan that the first verses of the Quran were revealed to Muhammad. The anniversary of this special night is considered the holiest night of the year, a time when Muslims offer special night prayers in the belief that God has all power.

For the last 10 days of Ramadan, Muslims who can afford to do so may go on spiritual retreats to the mosque, where they devote their time to spiritual communion.
