Is there any cricket played during Ramadan in Qatar? Is there any cricket played at all? Back in Dubai we used to have a lot of tournaments during Ramadan. Hoping to play some good cricket during Ramadan.

Please let me know if there is any.

Donot waste your precious time in Ramadan. As you know there is Time Elongation concept of physics.

It is a month for improving your Eeman. Just like a mobile phone has a balance of QR. 500/- But if its battery is down, then the mobile is useless even after it has balance. Same is situation of the Obedient (Muslim). Even after a Muslim has eeman, if he doesnot recharge his eeman, then his eeman will not be able to provide consciousness to keep away from sins.

Dear brother, enjoy games now but reserve Ramadan for Ibadah. Dont you know that you need to prepare for a day of death. Your grave is ready somewhere under the earth. It will only allow you to enter, neither of your friends or family.

Not only Dear Azhar89 but All,

The reason for mentioning the manner in which these saintly ones spent their Ramadhaan is not that we may just read without deriving any benefit or pass a casual remark. It is written with the object that we in our way may build up courage and to the best of our ability endeavor to copy and follow their noble examples. Every pious elders programme had its particular specialty.

How wonderful would it be if those who are not forced by worldly necessities try their utmost to mend their religious life in this one month after having allowed eleven months of the year go by to destroy themselves.

As for those who have to be in their offices and be present at eight, nine or ten in the morning, what difficulty will it be for them if they at least in Ramadhaan, spend the time from Fajr until their hours of employment in reciting the Qur'aan. After all our worldly needs we do find time in spite of office hours.

For those engaged in farming, who normally are not bound to others nothing prevents them from reciting the Qur'aan on their farm or adjusting their daily routine. Then come the businessmen, shopkeepers and merchants.

Nothing prevents them in Ramadhaan from reciting their Qur'aan during their shop hours or cutting short trading time in order to make time for recitation thereof. After all there is very strong link between Ramadhaan and the Tilaa-wah of the Qur'aan. Almost all Allah's great scriptures were revealed in this month. Similarly, in this month the Qur'aan was brought down from the Lowhul Mahfoozh to the Samaa'ud Dunyaa, from where it was revealed bit by bit to Rasulullah (SAW) in a span of twenty three years.

Nabi Ibrahim (A.S.) received his scriptures on the first and third of this sacred month. Nabi Dawood (David) (A.S.) received the Zaboor on the twelfth or eighteenth. Nabi Moosa (Moses) (A.S.) received his Towrah on the sixth. Nabi Essa (jesus) (A.S.) received the Injeel on the twelfth or thirteenth. From this we note the great connection between the divine scriptures and the month of Ramadhaan.

For this reason, as much tilaawat of the Qur'aan as possible should be made during this month. Such was the habit of our saints. Jibraeel (A.S.) used to recite the whole Qur'aan to our Nabi Muhammad (SAW) in the month of Ramadhaan. In some reports it is stated that Rasulullah (SAW) used to recite and he (Jibraeel) used to listen. From joining these reports the 'ulama have said that it is mustahab to read the Qur'aan in such a manner that while one recites the other listens. Thereafter another recites while others listen. So recite the Qur'aan as much as possible. Whatever time remains thereafter should not be wasted.
