Ramadan: Part Two

The holy month of Ramadan comes after Shaaban according to the lunar calendar. When the first crescent of a new moon is sighted. There are many events which took place during this month in the past. The revelation of the Qur'an from heaven to Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as we mentioned before. Al Hassan bin Ali was born. The battle of Badr in which the Muslims conquered the non believers. Ali bin Abu Talib became the martyr after he was stabbed by the sword. There were many events that happened during this month in the past and the greatest event was the conquest of Makkah. (Fath Makkah).Prophet Mohammad came back entering Makkah nodding his head down as a symbol of humbleness to Allah. The people of Makkah had fought him and forced him to leave the city. He emigrated to Madinah and built a powerful army and came back to conquer them. Despite everything, he said to them, "Anyone who stays in his house, the mosque, and the house of Abu Sufian or even does not carry a weapon is safe."

He captured many prisoners and said to them what you would think I would do with you?" They said, "Nothing, kind brother, son of a kind brother." Then the Prophet Mohammed, (Pease and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Go, you are the free ones). The most distinguished event is Laylatul Qadr (Night of power or night of revelation). People observe it during the last ten days of Ramadan. Basically the odd nights.  It is better than one thousand months. Muslims pray throughout this night to grab that opportunity from Allah. One thousand months equal to eighty eight years. The age of a person is between sixty and let's say eighty. This one night equals that lifetime. It is a great reward from the Almighty. There are a lot of virtues in this night. The angles descend with Jibreel (Gabriel) among them. Peace will be there the whole night until dawn. The first day of Shawal comes at the end of Ramadan and it is a festival day for Muslims (Eedul fitr).

To be continued.

  • Excellent!

  • Thanks for sharing such wonderful blog in this wonderful month.

  • Ramadan is an opportunity which must be grabbed firmly to do our duties as Muslims .It is a very auspicious month as you have mentioned above .

    I like the story of interring Makkah. When Prophet Mohammad captured many prisoners and said to them what you would think I would do with you?" They said, "Nothing, kind brother, son of a kind brother." Then he said "Go, you are the free ones).

    This event is a very strong evidence which proves that our religion is a religion of pace and Cuttings heads nowadays by persons who claim Islam is nothing to do with real Islam. Islam’s reputation will be always without a blemish. Sooner or later people all over the world will discover that those killers seek nothing but their own interests.

    Keep on …Well done brother.

  • It is an opportunity for us the sinners or rather the ones who do not worship Allah properly. One night, only one night Kunul compensates 88 years. How long do we live normally? How much do we give Allah his true ibada (worship or devotion). That is the reason why Ramadan has its own happiness in our life Kunul. Thanks Kunul!
