RAMADHAN KAREEM

Do you now that Ramadan is the nineth month in the Islam’s Lunar Calendar.It is the most important month for muslims as it is believed this is the month that the Al-Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad.It has been te Muslims’s obligation o fast from sunrise to sunset when they have to refrain from all the foods,drinks,any kinds of tobacco or intimacy.

    

  Some people have been wondering why do we fasting?ramadan is the time when we bring ourself closer to god.It is also a tie to detach from worldly pleasures and focus on one’s prayers.many Muslims dress more conservatively during Ramadan and spend more time at the mosque more than any other time of the year.We have our own prayer called Taraweeh that will be done after the isya’ prayer.usually,it will be done 8 or 20 rakaat in maximum following by the Witr as the closure.During the Ramadan,all mosque will be performing the taraweeh prayer.In Beijing,the yang Cha Mosque is one of more than 30 thousands muslim places worship In China..

        As we know,there will also have the tadarus Al-Quran in a month.Usually,they will read it in a group of people in order to make sure wether it was read correctly or not.Tadarus is about to read the verses from Al-Quran and understand of what has been read.They said that during the month of Ramadan,Prohet Muhammad would visited by the Angel Jibril every night and they would do the tadarus Al-Quran. School students,neighbourhoods or any organization have make this event as a tradition every year.

       We are required to have our Suhoor before starts our fasting.It is an Islamic term referring to the meal consumed early in the morning,so that we would have more energy to do our daily activites on the next day.The end of the Suhoor time is before the Subh prayer time.Thn we would break our fast during the maghrib prayer timeIt depnds on us on what we want to eat,but it is the best to take the dates first before taking other type of food as it is a sunnah,which is the daily practice of Prophet Muhammad.Sometimes,there would be some feast that will be held by the neighbourhood which they will make the rice porridge or known as the’bubur lambuk’.They will indivisible the bubur lambuk for all the people who came by or to the unfortunate people who need foods to break their fast.At night,Muslims will wake up around 3 or 4 am to do the Qiamullail which is that time is the most effectival time for us to pray the wishes that we have been loning for.

          

  In conclusion,we should implement our responsibility as a Muslim to fast during the holy month,Ramadan.They said that fasting is not about diet of burning calories,but burning of pride,ego and sins.We must evade ourselves from doing those evil practices if we want the rewards in our hereafter life.Let us strengthen our Ummah among muslims and become an example toward others.
