The Holy month of Ramadan is one of the blessed Islamic months when Muslim brotherhood brings people closer to each other and moulds their lives under the guidance of Quran and
. This Holy month helps a common Muslim to practice noble things in life, e.g. endurance, perseverance and obedience. Eventually, the month of Ramadan helps a common Muslims to bring the positive change in him by being true to God.
Self control and empathy for the poor
To fulfill the commands of God Almighty during fasting, every Muslim is obligated to give up on many halal things, e.g. eating, drinking and intercourse which are some of the greatest pleasures of human life. In the Holy month of Ramadan, fasting enables us to control our legitimate desires in order to gratify the God Almighty.
In the same month, Muslims feel empathy and compassion towards their disgruntled and poor brothers and sisters, as they feel their own hunger. Muslims practice the act of kindness at large by helping the poor and they feel their pain and agony.
Purification of hearts and souls
Some critics believe that Muslims have lost the spirit of the Holy month of Ramadan and most of the Muslims are just following the band wagon, as fasting has become a common practice in this month. However, the spirituality of this month is more powerful and Muslims who truly believe in the spirituality of Ramadan can purify their hearts and souls during this sacred month.
Recitation of Quran and its strong impact
Ramadan is the month of Quran, and those who recite Quran in this month are rewarded better than others. Whether they attend taraweh or listen Quran English version, the positive impact of the Holy verses of Al-Quran persuade them to change their lives under the golden rules of Islam.
Ramadan is an important occasion for every Muslim who love Quran, as this is the month when revelation of Al-Quran was completed in the blessed night of laylat Al-Qadar.
Muslim and his social responsibilities
Ramadan is the month of social service and welfare of poor people. We can facilitate widows, orphans, handicapped and refugees in an organized manner which is the essence of Ramadan. These less fortunate people are always seeking financial and moral support from their rich Muslim brothers and sisters. Spreading hope and changing their lives with positive actions and support is the most noble thing to do in the month of Ramadan.
Similarly, spreading knowledge and awareness about Islam is another major responsibility of a common Muslim, including both men and women. Different Muslims serve this cause in different ways, e.g. some of them spread Islamic knowledge through religious debates and some develop programs related to audio Quran online formats. The sincere efforts of a Muslim can help him to get close to his God through worship and social welfare.
The sacred month of Ramadan is an opening to allow ourselves to get back to the path set by God Almighty and to be blessed by Him.
