The Virtue of Ramadan
The purpose of the month of Ramadan is represented in many things that make fasting a meaningful and sublime duty.
In the beginning, fasting enhances righteousness in the soul of the Muslim, which protects him and prevents him from falling into taboos, increases the strength of faith in himself, and brings him closer to God Almighty.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
O believers! Fasting is prescribed for you—as it was for those before you1—so perhaps you will become mindful ˹of Allah˺.
The righteousness that a Muslim gain through his fasting protects him from the whispers of Satan and helps a person to abide by what God has commanded us to do and avoid what God has prevented us from. That is why fasting helps us achieve the desired goal: to obtain God’s approval and keep God’s wrath and taint away from us.
The second goal of fasting is to achieve Islamic unity, as all Muslims gather in this month to fast, and in this blessed month,
families gather so that they break their fast with each other this month, so this month helps with the connection of the kinship and the communication of relatives and friends.
قَالَ " الصِّيَامُ جُنَّةٌ فَإِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ صَائِمًا فَلاَ يَرْفُثْ وَلاَ يَجْهَلْ فَإِنِ امْرُؤٌ قَاتَلَهُ أَوْ شَاتَمَهُ فَلْيَقُلْ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ " .
The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Fasting is a protection for you, so when you are fasting, do not behave obscenely or foolishly, and if anyone argues with you or abuses you, say, 'I am fasting. I am fasting.
Fasting and Ramadan help people to love giving and benevolence because the person who fasts endures hardship and fatigue, so he feels what others feel.
One of the most important purposes and goals of Ramadan is the Muslim’s feeling of the gift of guidance that God has given us and those upon us with it. In the beginning, we must thank God for the blessing of Islam, then we thank Him for our ability to fast and for God’s immunization for us from the evil and evil of deeds and avoiding sins.
If you want to expiate your sin and raise your destiny, and draw closer to God and obtain His approval and love,
Then strive to fast and pray, and do not miss the opportunity that everyone who died that God wishes to return to the same, so do not fall short in the right of himself; God is rich in your worship, you need it to weigh It is the month of repentance and the month of forgiveness and emancipation from the fires.
So, did you obey God and be sincere to him to be saved for him, and how great that God saved you. Satan would not have authority over you at that time, just as that month in which the devils are chained up. And the gates of fire are closed. All you have to do is purify your heart and increase the remembrance of God, feed the poor, connect your kindness, Give alms, and force a thought. Broken, by God, every smile on your brother’s face in it raises your rank, diminishes your evil deeds, and multiplies your reward with it more than at any time.
