About Ramadan
Significance & Historical Context
Fasting (Sawm) is a pillar of Islam. In this month, the gates of Jannah are opened, the gates of Jahannam are closed, and the Shaitans are chained. It contains Laylatul Qadr, a night better than a thousand months.
The goal of Ramadan is 'Taqwa' (God-consciousness). It is a spiritual retreat for the entire Ummah, forcing a shift from physical consumption to spiritual nourishment. It is the month of the 'Harvest'.
Recommended Acts
- Performing the Taraweeh and Qiyam prayers consistently.
- Engaging in 'Itikaf' (spiritual seclusion) during the final ten days.
- Feeding the fasting people (Iftar) and increasing Sadaqah (charity) significantly.
