Understanding Ramadhan

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.

Five Pillars of Islam

Photo credit: follow-islam.com Islam is the revelation of God , the religion of the prophets and apostles, guidelines for human life. Islam means submission. Subject to abide by the rules of God . Surrendered on sunnatullah . The entire universe has been Islam since the first. Well, have we Muslims?

The rest, nothing so as a Muslim, there is no interest whatsoever to celebrate the new year. The most important thing for a Muslim is to pay attention to the time that never cease to be filled with deeds, including in the new year 2012. The whole man is in loss except for the faithful and do good works, encourage one another in righteousness and admonish one another in patience.

Many non Muslims view that a Muslim man (who is married) can dissolve the marriage at any time by telling his wife: "talaq, talaq, talaq 'on his own. And even that is not easy and simple in Islam because there are several processes that must be done as a form of responsibility of both parties according to the rules of Islamic law. Divorce in Islam is legitimate even though God hates it. If there has been a divorce between a pairs of households (same partner) three times ("talaq" and "ruju") then there is no "ruju" (re-united) until one of them has remarried. If a husband says 'talaq' three times, the law remains the one time and they can do a "ruju" (unified return) until the limit of three times the div...
