Muslims around the world eagerly anticipate the arrival of the blessed month of Ramadan, about which Prophet Muhammad SAW said, “There has come to you Ramadan, a blessed month which Allah has enjoined you to fast, during which the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the rebellious devils are chained up. In it, there is a night which is better than a thousand months, and whoever is deprived of its goodness is indeed deprived.” [Nasai, 2106; Ahmad, 8769]
Ramadan is that time of year when all of us strive to get close to Allah SWT through our acts of abstaining from food, exercising self-restraint, bridging social divides, giving Sadaqah and Zakat (Islamic charity) and asking for forgiveness and mercy. It’s not just another month in the calendar; it’s a shared celebration of faith, uniting our ummah around the globe.
Why Do We Fast During Ramadan?
The fourth pillar of Islam is Sawm, or fasting. During the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims are expected to fast from dawn to dusk. While there are exceptions made for the sick, elderly, and pregnant, all are expected to refrain from eating and drinking during daylight hours. The five pillars of Islam guide a Muslim to live an ideal life. For the fulfillment of the pillar of Sawm, Allah SWT gave us the month of Ramadan.
