About Ramadan
"O'belivers, prescribed for you is the Fast, even as it was prescribed for those that were before you happily you will be God fearing." The Glorious Qur'an: (Surah 2, Verse 183)
When the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) used to sight the moon of the holy month of Ramazan, he stood facing the Qibla and with utmost humbleness in the presence of Allah asked success in this holy month by saying:
"O' Allah! Make its dawn on us in peace, conviction in faith, safety, submission, and abundance of prosperity, immunity from sickness, recitation of Qur'an and assistance in prayers and fasting. O' Allah! Keep us healthy in the month of Ramazan and keep us confident in our faith in it, and let it not last without being forgiven."
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said: "Certainly prayers in this month are accepted."
Ramazan, the month of fasting, is the 9th month of Islamic calendar. During the days of this holy month every adult Muslim has to fast according to Islamic rules. The sick and invalids are, of course, an exception to this rule. People can eat and drink (not any alcoholic drinks) from sunset until the sunrise. Fasting has three significances:
Moral Significance
Fasting will remind man of the omnipotent and that everything is derived from Him (Allah Almighty) and will come back to Him, and also of the days he has spent uselessly. It will wake up the human feelings and will strengthen the faith and will power of man.
Social Significance
Statistics has proved that during this month, the quarrels and homicides have been reduced. The person who is in fast will feel the situation of being hungry, and then he will be provoked to help the poor and the needy. So the classical differences would be decreased. In the world in which the hunger may be the most important problem, fasting could be one of the best ways to diminish the space between the poor and the rich.
Health Importance
It is obvious that the output of fats in the body bring many diseases. Fasting is, thus, a fair diet for body and the construction of the body can rest during a month.
