Importance of Ramadan for Muslims

Ramadan has immense significance in the life of every Muslim. It is the ninth month of the Islamic or Lunar Calendar and it  is the holiest of all months. It is the month when the final revelation came down in the shape of Holy Quran. All Muslims believe that Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) is the last messenger sent to mankind and Holy Quran is the last of the Devine revelations which came down in Ramadan.

"Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed as guidance and clarification to humankind, and a distinction between right and wrong. So, whoever from among you witnesses the month should fast it." (2: 185)

A night which is amongst the last ten nights of this month which is called Laylat al- Qadr and it's termed as the Night of Power when Quran Kareem was revealed for the first time to the Muslims. The following are 5 verses which were first revealed on Mohammad (PBUH):

"We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power: And what will explain to thee what the night of power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah's permission, on every errand: Peace!...This until the rise of dawn!" — Sura 97 (Al-Qadr), āyāt 1-5[5]

Laylat al- Qadr is the night which every Muslim searches for like he is searching for a wealthy treasure. Those who are fortunate enough to worship in this night will be rewarded an everlasting place in Heaven.

Why Muslims Fast?

Jews fast on 10th of Tishri, Christians in Lent Season, Hindus hold upavaasa and Muslims hold fasting for a complete month in Ramadan. Fasting is an important part of many religions but the Muslim Way of fasting is completely different from all others. In Islam Muslims are forbidden to all sorts of drinking, eating and even taking medicines. The Muslims are strictly guided to avoid all sorts of useless discussion, gathering and talks, unethical acts and just dedicate all their time to worship because the aim of fasting is to get yourself closer to Allah and not to waste it in sleep and entertainment.
