RAMADAN

Ramadan is the time of the year which has different meaning for all the muslims depending on their personnel preference.
In Qatar people of other faiths who previousely were not familiar with Islam or only knew it through media experience it first hand.

This is an oppertunity for them to learn first hand that and then make up their minds about muslims similarly this is an oppertunity for the muslim community in Qatar to learn about them .

for sure all muslims are not terrorists and all westerns are not sex crazed deviod of family values and culture.

I invite people to comment on their positve interactions with other faiths .

Ramadan is a month of fasting.

Physical abstentions and intensification of acts of worship are a means towards attaining the spiritual objectives of self purification and improvement.

Essentially a month of training used to discipline/prepare oneself for the remainder of the year.

During the Month of Ramadan

Be considerate of and supportive to the Muslims around you

Fasting gives the body the environment to heal itself--physiologic rest”

“Abstinence from food for a short time can in no way operate to the disadvantage of a normal person.”

“In fact, individuals affected with certain types of gastrointestinal disorders are benefited by fasting.”

“Fasting has also been used in cases of diabetes and obesity.”

“It is a cleansing process and a physiologic or functional rest which prepares the body for future correct living.”

The condition of hunger gets highlighted on each fasting person leading to:

Care and concern for the poor and hungry

Helping attitude towards have-nots

Charity and donations

Refrain from wasting food and drinks.

Social responsibility

SAID

Allah has no need for the hunger and the thirst of the person who does not restrain from telling lies and acting on them even while observing fast.”

“ When one of you is fasting, He should abstain from indecent acts and unnecessary talk, and if someone begins an obscene conversation or tries to pick an argument, he should simply tell him, ‘I am fasting.’”

The month of Ramadan is around. We are happy to present information on Ramadan which, we hope, will prove to be useful source of knowledge for you.

This, we expect, would help you to explore more about Ramadan, appreciate the significance of this blessed month.

We hope that this presentation will make your fasting purposeful and rewarding.

In another way, this is Ramadan gift for you.

People, a great blessed month has come upon you.

Allah has made fasting during it an obligation, and steadfastly observing its nights in worship a voluntary act.

Whoever undertakes an act of obedience to Allah during this month with a righteous deed, it is as if he has performed an obligatory act at other times,

and whoever performs an obligatory act during it is as one who performed seventy obligations at other times.

It is the month of patience, and the reward for patience is Paradise.

It is the month of goodwill, during which provisions are multiplied.

Fasting does not:

cause the stomach to atrophy

paralyze the bowels

deplete the blood

produce anemia

cause the heart to weaken or collapse cause the heart to weaken or collapse

produce deficiency or mal nutritional disease

reduce resistance to disease

harm the teeth, the nervous system, glands or vital organs

weaken the vital powers or cause mental disturbances.
