The Virtue of Ramadan

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.

 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.

At the beginning and with the advent of the month of Ramadan, you must prepare yourself to receive this blessed month while you are in the best condition, and you must also remind yourself of the goal of this month so that you can avoid all the sins and sins you commit.


In the following lines, we will show you the most important goals that you should be keen on doing to spend a sin-free month, God willing:

Controlling Yourself

Charity

Memorize new surahs per month

Because this action protects you from laziness and loss of activity and helps you to live a better life. Memorizing the surah from the Qur’an helps you in developing your scientific and social competence. You must keep performing Tarawih prayers in the mosque and congregation until you receive the reward of the community. You should perform all the controls for prayers, such as purification, and it smells good. Praying in the mosque helps add warmth and social spirit in a person’s life, which improves his heart, increases his positive feelings, and improves his mood.

Stop cursing and gossiping
