RAMZAN

RAMZAN, The most awaited month, as sacredness is in the air and all the broken hearts and all the tired souls gain contentment.
Have we ever wonder why it happens so that all the pain ,all the emptiness just vanish away?. This is because every Muslim is engaged in ibadat , just trying to go near Almighty, just trying to please Almighty. This is what a soul was missing. Zikr of Allah is the nutrition of soul. How exactly it is possible that soul is happy without it’s nutrition.
We care alot regarding the nutrition of body. But what about the nutrition of soul?
Now the question arises, do we really spend Ramzan as we were supposed to spend. Do we exactly know what’s the purpose of fasting?
In the Surat Al Baqarah, Almighty says,
"یٰۤاَیُّہَا الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا کُتِبَ عَلَیۡکُمُ الصِّیَامُ کَمَا کُتِبَ عَلَی الَّذِیۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِکُمۡ لَعَلَّکُمۡ تَتَّقُوۡنَ ﴿۱۸۳﴾ۙ"
"“اے ایمان والو !تم پر روزے رکھنا فرض کیا گیا جس طرح تم سے پہلے لوگوں پر فرض کئے گئے تھے تاکہ تم تقویٰ اختیار کرو ۔”"
So the purpose of fasting is “taqwa ” meaning “fear of Allah “
This means avoiding everything that can be cause of Allah’s wrath.
Fasting never meant to just stay hungry. Fasting is meant to avoid every thing that is disliked by Almighty due to fear of Allah ‘s disobedience.
So now ask yourself. Do we really fast?. Apart from just staying hungry, do we avoid things that are disliked by Almighty.
Do we avoid telling a lie?
Do we avoid back bitting?
Do we avoid abusing?
Do we avoid anger?
Do we avoid shouting?
Do we avoid hurting others?
