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...

The Power of Allah

R74DWF7T83WN "Oh men! Here is set forth a parable? listen to it! On those whom, besides God, ye call, can not create (even) a fly, if they all met together for the purpose! the fly, and if should Snatch away anything from them, they would have no power to release it from the fly. Feeble are those who petition and those whom they petition!” (Quran 22:73). Have you studied or at least consider how an insect can flap their wings 1000 times per second?, how a flea can leap (jump) a hundred times his size?, have we noticed a butterfly flying forward while flapping their wings up and down?. We can take a simple example of one of the animals mentioned in the Holy Quran, "A Fly" to notice the power of Allah which very large and infinite. For any human strength, height and title of any degree of human education, as much as any man possessed of knowledge, and sophisticated technology owned by any man, no one could make a fly with a variety of advantages even though they all j...
