Naveed Abbas Maitlo;
We all know that the month of Ramazan has approached. Every Muslim has welcomed it with the core of heart. Ramazan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It has great significance in Islam because the Holy Quran was revealed in this month for the guidance of entire human being. If anyone surrenders himself before the Holy Book then inevitably he will spend grandeur and successful life hereafter. In the month of Ramazan fasting was prescribed for every intellectual mind. As it was before prescribed for everyone. Fasting means to be refrained from consuming something predominantly food and water. It is one of the pillars of Islam. However, fasting is not only to be abstained from eating something. It teaches us to develop the habit of tolerance, forbearance and sympathy. In other words, we should be abstained ourselves from evil activities and bad gesture. As Noble Prophet Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH) said, “If a fasting person is abused by someone. He should only be replied that may peace be upon you. I am a fasting person and I will not response you in similar manner.” It explicitly tells that there is no space for bad gesture and pasture for anyone.
Fasting is all about to adopt the habit of compassion, forbearance and ignore if someone hurts you because a negative way always leads to a negative life. Moreover, there is a spectacular connection between Quran and the month of Ramazan. Quran was revealed in fasting month so people would give Quran lot of importance because it was revealed in holy month of Ramadan. Quran-learning mindset needs special mindset which is free of hate, arrogance, and free of shirk. When we are in state of fast , we are completely dependent on God , even though we can eat and drink, we have freedom to do so, but we don’t do that . We voluntarily submit to Allah and don’t eat and drink during fasting time. This voluntary and completely free mind is needed to study Quran and submit to Quran when Quran says that Allah is the Lord of the universe and lord of us. We are His servants and He is the master of universe and day of Judgement. We submits to Him and put our will into the will of Allah. It is explicit truth that among all books, Quran is the best book. It guides us at every pace of life. It taught us discipline and strictly abstain from the evils activities. In fact, the doctrine of Quran is the blessed for mind and heart. So, we all should be read the spiritual message of wisdom properly.
However, it is painful to be borne in mind that people don’t have inclination to read the Quran with its proper meaning. Consequently, they don’t learn anything from it. Reading of Quran with its proper meaning is one of the crucial for everyone so that we can get wisdom and know the purpose of life. However, for the Convenient of people Quran has been translated into myriad languages so that we can understand the message of Quran. Therefore, it is should be borne in mind that it is needed to be read the Quran with its meaning because it deals with every aspect of life including social, economical and family disputes. Ramazan is the blessed month we should get benefits from it. We should be pledged that we will read Quran with its meaning and will disseminate the wisdom of Quran to everyone. It is also high time to be remembered those Muslims brother who are suffering that may Allah leap them out from the dungeon of atrocities and we should all be proved that we are Muslims we don’t love deception, victims and bad gesture because Islam spreads message of peace and brotherhood.
