Welcome Ramadan.

Introduction to Ramadhan.

The fourth pillar of Islam is fasting. Allah prescribes daily fasting for all able,

adult Muslims during the whole of the month of Ramadan, the ninth monthof the lunar calendar beginning with the sighting of the new moon.

Quranic verse: chapter no.2 verse no. 185The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the

people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of]

the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number

of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants]

for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you;

and perhaps you will be grateful.

Hadith: 2378, sahih muslim.

Salah...

What is Salah??

Salah is ordained on Muslims five times a day and is essentially the

spiritual nourishment of the soul of the believer as well as the divine

connection between Allah and the believer. There are 5 prayers

throughout the day: Fajr (pre-dawn), Dhuhr (afternoon), Asr (post-afternoon), Maghrib (evening), Isha (night).


17/25

TaraweeWhen the month of Ramadhan begins, Muslims enter into a period of

discipline and worship: fasting during the day, and praying

throughout the day and night. During Ramadan, special eveningprayers are conducted during which long portions of the Qur'an are

recited. These special prayers are known as tarawee.

The word taraweeh comes from an Arabic word which means to

rest and relax. The prayer can be very long (well over an hour),during which one stands upright to read from the Qur'an and

performs many cycles of movement (standing, bowing, prostrating,

sitting). After each four cycles, one sits for a brief period of rest

before continuing -- this is where the name taraweeh("rest

prayer") comes from.

Quran was reaveled

The graceful month of Ramadhan has set in; the month during which the gates ofMercy are wide open, the gates of Hell are shut and the Shayateen are chained up. It is

a month chosen by Allah as a month of fasting; an act of Ibadat that Allah

made special to Him. He favoured this month over all other

months by making it the month of mercy and reverence for all the believers.

"Had We sent down this Qur'an on amountain, you would surely have seen it

humbling itself and split asunder (crumbling)

by the fear of Allah. Such are the parables

that We put forward to mankind that they

may reflect."[Al-Hashr, 59:21]
