Welcome to Ramadan
for eleven months and then the fasts of Ramadan prepare the crops of virtues. The word ‘رَمۡض’ [Ramd] implies heat or burning. As the Muslims endure the burning of thirst and hunger in Ramadan or as this month burns their sins, it is called Ramadan. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه further said that the word ‘رَمَضان’ [Ramadan] has five letters:
1. ر: Means the mercy of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
2. م: Means the love of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
3. ض: Means guaranty of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
4. ا: Means protection of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, and
5. ن: Means Noor of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
Five acts of worship are performed abundantly in Ramadan: (1) fast (2) Taraweeh (3) Recitation of the Holy Quran (4) I’tikaf (5) acts of Worship in Shab-e-Qadr. If a person performs these acts of worship sincerely, he will deserve these five gifts. (Tafseer-e-Na’eemi, pp. 204-209)
ابرِ رحمت چھا گیا ہے اور سماں ہے نُور نُور
فَضلِ رَبّ سے مغفِرت کا ہوگیا سامان ہے
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
Dear Islamic brothers! The month of Ramadan is a great gift from Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ for the sinful people like us. As the sacred month arrives, the lovers of Ramadan rejoice and the atmosphere brightens with the light of the luminosity of Ramadan. The yearning for worship increases a lot. Muslims observe fasts, have the privilege to offer Taraweeh, arrange the gatherings of Khatm-e-Quran and attend such gatherings. They eat and offer Sahari and Iftari, give and persuade others to pay Zakah, Fitrah, ‘Ushr, Sadaqat, charity and Madani
