Meaning of the word Ramadan

Ramadan is derived from an Arabic word Ramad which means intensely heated by son.

History

The Ramadan celebration started from 2nd Hijri i.e. second year of Islamic calendar. After Namaz, Fasting is the second which is made compulsory to be performed.

Hence for fasting the Month of Ramadan gets selected. This is also because the Allah had send angel Gabriel to reveal his message to prophet Muhammad in the cave of “Hira”.

To make it remarkable this month is considered to show respect and honor. And it is instructed to spend the days as it has been spend by the prophet. He used to neglect food during day time and praise the Almighty Allah during night time.

Ramadan Celebration

A person starts their fast by doing “Sehri”, eating before sunrise. And breaks it at”Iftar” just after sunset. These two are most charming time during Ramadan.

Muslim offers their five times Namaz along with Taraweeh with great enthusiast timely. They recite Quran every day.

They search for “Shab-e-qadr (Night of power)” in odd days of last 10 days of Ramadan month. This night is considered to be better than thousand of month.

Everyday new dishes are prepared to eat for breaking the fast. Everyone starts their shopping for the celebration of eid. They offer “Sadqa” and “Zakat” i.e. amount of money to poor and needy people.

Why Muslim celebrates Ramadan?

Muslim celebrates Ramazan as it is instructed by the Allah to do so.

The revelation, which forms the theological basis of Ramadan fasting, was recorded in Chapter 2 (Surah al Baqarah), verse number 185. It states:

“The 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.”

Importance of Ramadan

There are many reasons which give importance to the month Ramadan.

  2. This month is given more importance in Quran and Hadeet.
  3. Lailatul Qadr is also known as Shab-e-Qadr which means Night of Power or Night of destiny in which Quran is dismounted to the earth in this month.
