Ramadan: The most awaited month!

Ramadan is anxiously awaited by all the Muslims as Allah Almighty opens his doors of mercy, forgiveness and blessings upon everyone. In India, it started on 7th May Fast is observed during this blissful month.

Ramadan holds a special place in our heart because of these following reasons:

♦The main reason is, in this sacred month the holy Quran was revealed upon Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

♦This is the month of blessings, mercy and forgiveness

♦The doors of heaven are opened and doors of hell are closed during this holy month

♦Rewards are multiplied by 10 to 700 times during this month

♦There is one night called Laylatul-Qadr that is best than 1000 months

♦Umrah (minor pilgrimage) in Ramadan is equivalent to Hajj

♦These 30 days of fasting lead to the glorious and auspicious occasion of Eid ul Fitr

The Quran Says

The month of Ramadan [is that] in which the Quran was revealed, a guide for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey – then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you, and perhaps you will be grateful.

[Quran 2:185]
