Introduction to Ramadan
Ramzan: Holy Month of Spiritual Cleansing (Ramzan: Aatmik Safai ka Pavitra Mahina)
The month of Ramadan is like a dear guest for Muslims. Every year, this special month brings happiness and peace when the moon appears. This is not only a religious festival, but also a great opportunity for spiritual cleansing.
In this month, people wake up early in the morning for Sehri, then keep fast for the whole day. Fasting not only teaches us to stay away from hunger and thirst, but also teaches us to control our anger, do good deeds and connect with Allah.
As the evening approaches, it’s time for Iftar. This is the moment when family and friends come together to eat delicious food and break the fast. There is fragrance, activity and laughter in the houses. The experiences of fasting are shared among themselves.
The month of Ramzan also teaches us the lesson of helping the poor and virtue. There is special importance in giving donations and helping the needy.
The festival of Eid comes in the last days of Ramzan. The joy of Eid knocks in every house when the moon is visible. People wear new clothes and offer Eid prayers and then hug each other and say Eid Mubarak. Sweets are distributed and happiness spreads all around.
So the month of Ramadan is more than just fasting. This is a special occasion for spiritual purification, harmony and happiness! (Ramzan is more than just fasting. It’s a special time for spiritual cleansing, harmony, and joy!)
Significance of Ramadan in Islam
The simple essence of Ramzan, the festival of joining hearts (Ramzan ka Sidha Sa Saar, Dilon ko Jodne ka Tyohar)
The month of Ramadan is a gift of happiness for Muslims, but it is not celebrated just with pomp. This is a special time to strengthen spiritual relationships and connect hearts.
Fasting is the backbone of Ramadan. When we endure hunger and thirst, we understand the plight of the poor better. This inspires us to donate and help them. Helping the poor during fasting gets double the reward, who wouldn’t be happy with this?
Ramzan also teaches us to control anger. When we tolerate small things and speak sweetly, the atmosphere at home becomes pleasant. Relationships become stronger and love increases in hearts.
Don’t even ask iftar time! While breaking the fast, family and friends gather. Various types of dishes are prepared. They chat and an atmosphere of joy and happiness is created. These are those moments which are remembered throughout life.
Ramzan also makes us understand the importance of Quran. The Quran is recited every night in Taraweeh prayers. This not only gives knowledge of religion but also gives peace to the mind.
The real gift of Ramadan is the meeting of hearts. Helping the poor, controlling anger and strengthening relationships, this is the real Ramzan. So this year, join the festival of Ramadan, wish your Muslim brothers and be a part of the happiness! (The true essence of Ramadan is the meeting of hearts.
