Wish you a very Happy Ramzan Day wishes....
Hello All,
I wish you and your family, friends, near and dear........
A very happy, serene and holy Ramzan Day wishes (21/09/09).
Ramzan or Ramadan, is a period of fasting for Muslims. The name is derived from the name of the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. The word Ramadan literally means burnt ground or intense heat. This month is considered to be the most holy month of the year in Islam. All followers of Islam are urged to follow the basic rules of fasting, prayer, and charity during this month.
The month of Ramzan is further divided into three parts, consisting of ten days each. Each ten day period is referred to as 'Ashra', which is the Arabic word for ten. These three parts are the Rahmah (God's mercy), Maghfirah (God's forgiveness), and Najah (Salvation). The period of Ramzan ends with the celebrations on the feast day of Eid-ul-Fitr. It is believed that God's teachings to the Prophet Muhammad took place during the month of Ramzan in the year 610 A.D. These teachings were eventually compiled together and became the Quran, which is the holy book of Islam.
The holy month of Ramzan is said to offer all Muslims the opportunity to reform themselves and achieve spiritual communion with God. Human beings tend to lose touch with their spiritual selves as they go about their lives. To bring them back to God, Islam prescribes an annual 'roza' or 'siyam' (means to refrain from), which must be undertaken during the month of Ramzan. Prophet Muhammad declared that "fasting is not only abstinence from food and drink, fasting is to refrain from obscene acts". As per this statement, it implies that one should have complete control over one's physical and mental facilities.
The period of Ramzan also encourages the promotion of harmony among members of different religions of the society. Residing in tranquility with the neighbouring inhabitants is considered to be one of the best forms of charity that a person can do. Ramzan is the time for fostering the spirit of unity among all members of a community.
Eid Mubarak…….
Many many happy returns of the day.
All the best and take care….
With thanks, regards and best wishes,
