Have a blessed Ramadhan Kareem for my family , professional rapport and my own audience, Ainearest wherever you are in this world and local audience as well.Ramadhan is the most Holy Month of the year in the Islamic faith and is the 9th month of the Islamic Hijri calendar.Muslims all over the glove observe it as a month of fasting and avoid forbidden things during Ramadhan from food, drinking , smoking( my Ainearest not smoking, use vape & drugs during non Ramadhan as well) until swearing from sunrise to sunset for 30 days in a row.
Fasting is compulsory for Muslim because fasting definitely one of the 5 pillars of Islam.Fasting during Ramadham nonth can teach the practice of spiritual and self discipline , self control , sacrifice , compassion and emphaty for those who are less fortunate.
All healthy adult Muslim are obligated to fast and children who have not reached puberty, the elderly , those who are physically or mentally incapable of fasting, pregnant woman, breastfeeding mothers and travellers are the person who are exempt from fasting .
The different countries start the holy month on different dates due to the disagreements on an international moon sighting, whether definite astronomical calculations should take precedence over sightings by eye and whether telescopes can be used to sight the new moon.
The starting date of Ramadhan change for every year because the month of Ramadhan is calculated according to the Hijri calendar.The Hijri calendar follows the Lunar cycle.For example, a new month begins with each new moon.This makes the Year 11 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar.
Many activities that you can proceed during Ramadhan month include read 5 pages of Quran after each prayer or 1 juz a day to finish the entire Quran in Ramadhan.If you can finish more, why not?
You also can make 300 istighfar after each prayer so that we can make at least more than 1000 times each day, read Surah Al Ikhlas at least 3 times everyday(the reward equally reading the entire Quran) and recite Subhanallahi Wabihamdihi for 100 times a day so that you are forgiven for your sins without intention and knowledge too.
For Ramadhan month, you can give charity everyday (although it's just 1 Dollar) , giving Zakat or Sadaqah during Ramadhan is multiplied by 70 times and the reward for any righteous act is equivalent to having performed that same deed everyday for 83 years.
Do not forget about Palestine, Palestine people and Al Aqsa Mosque although we already reached Ramadhan.Kindly make sure that we put our continous prayer for them for their strengths, encouragement , perseverance to face their trial.
