Ramzan: A month of piety and salvation
Aubaid Akhoon
The month of Ramadan is a great blessing of Allah Almighty. In this month there is a flood of light and blessings from Allah Almighty and His blessings rain down like torrential rain, but we are not aware of the value and status of this blessed month.
Because all our thoughts and struggles are for materialism and worldly business, this blessed month is appreciated by those whose thoughts are for the Hereafter and whose focus is after death.
When the month of Rajab arrived, the Holy Prophet (Pbuh ) used to ask for this prayer
“O Allah, bless us in the months of Rajab and Sha’ban and bring us to the month of Ramadan, that is prolong our life so that we may have the month of Ramadan. (Explanation of Shobul Emaan 3/375)
Consider that two months before the arrival of Ramadan, there is a longing and longing for Ramadan, and prayers are being offered for its attainment.
The meaning of word Ramadan
“Ramadan” is an Arabic word meaning “scorching”. The month was named because when it first appeared in Islam, it was in the scorching heat. But some scholars say that in this month Allah, glory unto Him, by His special mercy burns and forgives the sins of the fasting servants, so this month is called “Ramadan”. (Explanation of Abu Dawood for the purpose of 1/9)
Ramadan is a special month of mercy
Allah Almighty has bestowed this blessed month because we stays in the fog of the world for eleven months due to which negligence is created in the hearts, spirituality and closeness to Allah Almighty is diminished.
We can remove this deficiency by removing the neglect and rust of the hearts by worshiping Allah, so that by getting closer to Allah Almighty, a new beginning of life can be made, just like after using a machine for some time, its service and cleaning can be done. In the same way, Allah Almighty has fixed this blessed month for the purification and service of humans.
In order to attain piety, fasting of one month in a year was imposed on this last Ummah and the time of fasting was kept from sunrise to sunset. The month of Ramzan is also a blessed month because this month was fixed by Almighty in which the Holy Qur’an was revealed and in which there is a night of innumerable blessings (Shab-e-Qadr).
At the same time, in addition to the fasts of the day, a special and general system of worship has been established at night in this month, called Taraweeh, which further enhances the lightness and effectiveness of this blessed month.
And in the Ahaadeeth of these two acts of worship, it is narrated that the Holy Prophet (Pbuh) said: وَِّحِتَصَابًا غُفِرَ لَهَ مَاتَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِہ (Sahih Bukhari 2/3, Sahih Muslim 1/2) Translation: Whoever fasts in the month of Ramadan in the state of faith and hopeful reward, his past sins will be forgiven In the state of faith and hopeful reward, his past sins will also be forgiven.
Ramadan is coming soon
We are waiting for the moon
The month of blessings
The month of forgiveness
The month full of mercy
Allah’s blessing in bounty
I can’t describe the inner peace,
In the month of pure bliss
O Ramadan come soon
We are waiting for your moon
