Understanding Ramadhan

Ramadlahn
In the Holy Qur'an, Ramadhan described in Albaqarah: 185:

"Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur´an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting, but if any one is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (Should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; He does not want to put to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful"

In this holy month of Ramadan all Muslims in the world will perform a special prayer that is eagerly awaited in their lives. Muslims will conduct a month-long fasting and in the evening will be filled with other devotions such as reading and listenning the Qur'an and tarawih prayer or evening prayer (evening shalat).

One special thing that is expected by Muslims in Ramadlan is a special night is Laylat qodar. If the Muslims worship on the night of Laylat Al qodar right, then he will receive goodness and reward equal to a thousand months or equal to 82 years of his life. This is described in the Quran Sura Alqodr:
  1. We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power:
  2. And what will explain to thee what the night of power is?
  3. The Night of Power is better than a thousand months.
  4. Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah´s permission, on every errand:
  5. Peace!...This until the rise of morn!
Those who perform fasting in the month of Ramadan will have two pleasures is when breaking at the time of Maghrib (evening) and when meeting with God one day. There are so many virtues that can be achieved by a Muslim in this holy month, even many of those who missed this month with great expectations and they were reluctant to leave the month.

May this Ramadan we all be blessed and forgiveness of God. Amin.

The Roles and Duties of Human Beings in the World According to the Qur’an

Introduction Human beings were not created without a purpose. The Qur’an makes it clear that our existence on earth is deeply meaningful. We are given intellect, free will, and a sense of morality, all of which make us responsible for our actions. According to Islamic teachings, human life is not just about survival or pleasure, but about fulfilling specific roles assigned by Allah. The Qur’an outlines three primary roles for mankind: Servant of Allah (‘abdullah) Vicegerent (khalifah) on earth Bearer of the trust (amanah) These roles define the duties and responsibilities of humans in the world and serve as guidance for a purposeful life. 1. Human as Servant of Allah The most fundamental role of a human being is to worship Allah. Worship is the central purpose of creation, as explicitly stated in the Qur’an: “And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” (Surah Adh-Dhariyat [51]: 56) In Islam, worship is not confined to ritual acts like prayer, fasting, or pilgrimag...

Flying Dome, Is it a Miracle?

We know that God is the creator of the whole universe, the giver of life, and ruler of all nature (the natural world and the supernatural). But this does not mean that all functions in the wonders of the world only because of God that makes the magic firsthand (though God is able to do it all), but sometimes it is people who make things like that to be considered a miracle of Islam with the goal-specific purpose, often misleading the Muslim faith itself. Why? Try to write the phrase "Miracle of Islam" or " Miracle of God " in any search engines, you will definitely find a lot of the themes that discuss issues that include pictures, photos, videos.

'As a Muslim, you try to think and observe the stuff, whether it is an engineering marvel or a human. Through this short post I just wanted to share information about t...
