Ramadan is the holy month of Islam. In this month our holy book the Qur’an was revealed on Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. This month is important because fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam and Ramadan helps in fulfilling it.
Ramadan has many spiritual blessings. In Ramadan when we pray salah and we ae rewarded twice as blessings as we get when we pray salah on a normal day. In Ramadan when we do a good deed we get twice as much as blessings we get on doing on a normal day. Even when we sleep in during fasting, we get blessings.
In this month the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of hell are closed and the devil is locked up. The sacred night of Laila tul Qadr also lies in the last Ashra (10 days) of this month. A dedicated Surah is revealed to elaborate on its importance.
The month of Ramadan is about understanding and feeling the sacrifices other fellow Muslims. In Ramadan we try to feel the pain and sufferings of poor and needy people. Our bond is strengthened with Allah by helping others and following the fasting code. We give zakat and help the poor and needy. That creates an environment of self-improvement by helping others.
