What Does “Ramaḍān” Mean?
The correct pronunciation of Ramaḍān is with afatḥah (zabar) on the lettermeem(م), тј. رَمَضَان (Ramaḍān). To pronounce it withsukūn on the lettermeem, тј. رَمْضَان (Ramdan) is incorrect. As for its meaning, much has been stated, Међутим, linguistically it means scorchedness, extreme heat that burns. The very first time this month was being named, it was during a scorching summer, дакле, they called it “Ramaḍān”.
Међутим, the scholars explain the reason for naming this month as Ramaḍān is that in this month Allah burns the sins of His servants out of His Mercy and Benevolence. Стога, remove the curtain of heedlessness from your heart and cleanse it from the darkness of sins. Repent for the sins committed in the past eleven months and seek forgiveness in this month for the mistakes and shortfalls. Come back to Allah and begin a new chapter in your life!
The Noble Qur’ān states:
“O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous.” (Surah al-Baqarah, 2:183)
This means that the fast of Ramaḍān is made obligatory in order for us to develop taqwa and put an end to the life of heedlessness. Баш као што је машини потребно сервисирање да би њени делови правилно функционисали, Алах је овај месец учинио средством да „преправи“ срца Његових робова како би могли да живе са обновљеним уверењем.
Направи паузу:
Стога, овај месец захтева од нас да нађемо времена за то. Само брзи итаравих молитве не би биле довољне, него се морамо ослободити других обавеза које су нас заокупљале у протеклих једанаест месеци. Требало би да се фокусирамо на сврху нашег живота и сврху нашег стварања.
Ако из неког разлога, нисмо у могућности да овај месец ослободимо само за обожавање Аллаха, онда морамо издвојити што је више могуће времена, колико год нам прилике дозвољавале, и треба да га користимо у обожавању Аллаха. За ово, we would need to plan ahead and have a (personal) Ramaḍān program.
How to Welcome Ramaḍān?
There has been a practice of welcoming Ramaḍān that originated from Egypt and Syria and now has spread in many countries. У основи, a couple of days prior to the beginning of Ramaḍān, a community event is hosted to welcome the month. It is hosted with sincerity and noble intentions. Међутим, it is often those very practices that begin with noble intentions that later take the form of reprehensible religious innovation, and in a few places, it has taken such a form already.
The best way to welcome the month of Ramaḍān is to reschedule your daily routine for the coming month to give you the most time for worshipping Allah. Before Ramaḍān begins, помислите на све оне активности које се могу смањити у наредном месецу и које вас могу ослободити за повећано обожавање. Ако неко може да ослободи цео свој месец онда Субхан-Аллах, иначе, ослободите се колико год можете тако што ћете напустити оно што се може напустити или одложити оно што се може одложити до после Бајрама, тако да што више времена проведете у обожавању Аллаха.
Ово је најбољи начин да се поздрави месец Рамадан. Ако Аллаховом вољом, неко је у стању да реорганизује своју рутину за Рамадан онда ће моћи да искористе највише од овог месеца достижући његов прави дух и обиље благослова који долазе са њим. Иначе, the month will pass by and you will not be able to benefit from its true spirit and blessings.
What To Do With The Free Time
When you have made yourself a Ramaḍān routine and freed yourself up with extra time, how would you utilize this time?
The fast of Ramaḍān is obligatory, that much is certain. As for theтаравихмолитве, it’s importance is also known. Whoever has an atom’s weight ofimān, and honor and respect for the blessed month of Ramaḍān, they increase their acts of worship in this month. It is because of this reason that we see people who normally do not pray the five daily prayers in the mosque outside of Ramaḍān are also among those who stand in the longтаравих молитве. All thanks are due to Allah that because of the blessings of this noble month, the believers increase their ṣalāh, зхикр (сећање) од Аллаха, and the recitation of the Noble Qur’ān. Међутим, one important aspect that gets neglected, when it should be the top-most priority for this month, is abstaining from sins and trying to make Ramaḍān a sin-free month.
We should make sure that we protect our gaze by not looking at inappropriate things. We should protect our ears and tongues from listening and speaking that which darkens our hearts, and in this blessed month of Ramaḍān we should try to completely abstain from the disobedience of Allah. If you are able to spend this noble month free from sins then you are worthy of being congratulated and you have attained the blessings of this noble month, even if you did not offer a single supererogatory (пожуда) молитва, nor did you increase the recitation of the Qur’ān or engaged yourself with theзхикр.
We have spent the past eleven months the way we have; Allah is offering this month to cleanse ourselves from our sins. Commit to yourself that you will not disobey Allah, that you will not lie in this month, nor would you backbite, or have an evil glance. Decide now that you will neither engage with bribery nor would you misuse your ears by listening to that which is prohibited, and that you will not consume riba (interest) for this one month alone!
What Kind of Fast Is This?
Пост значи уздржавање од јела, пијење, и испуњавање сексуалних жеља. Све ово је по природи дозвољено у исламу – дозвољено је јести и пити, а дозвољено је и мушкарцу и жени да остваре своје сексуалне жеље кроз институцију брака..
Међутим, док постиш ако се уздржаваш од ове три ствари, који су иначе дозвољени, али се не уздржаваш од онога што је већ забрањено, на пример. лежећи, оговарање, зли погледи, да ли је ово пост? Ако неко пости од ове три ствари, али лажу или вређају, или да би им прократили време док гледају непристојне филмове, да ли би се ово назвало постом? Они су напустили оно што је било дозвољено, али се нису уздржали од онога што је иначе забрањено. То је, Из тог разлога, Аллахов Посланик (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) рекао, “Whoever does not give up false speech and acting upon it, Allah has no need of his giving up his food and drink” (Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, 1804).
It is true that from the legal point of view their fast would be valid, and if they were to ask a mufti, they would not be obliged to make up that fast after Ramaḍān. Међутим, even though there is no making up for such a fast, they certainly have washed away the reward and blessings that accompany it. Стога, such an individual failed to acquire the spirit of the fast.
The Purpose of Fast Is To Kindle The Light of Taqwa:
As mentioned earlier that the Qur’ān says, “O you who have believed, одређен вам је пост као што је одређен онима пре вас да постанете праведни” (Surah al-Baqarah, 2:183). Овај стих помиње да је сврха поста да запали светлост такве.
Неки научници су рекли да је начин на који пост усађује таква разбијање моћног држања основних људских и животињских жеља. Кад постач гладује, сабија у њима њихове ниске жеље, што чини поступање по греху, мање привлачне за њих.
С друге стране, Шејх Ашраф Али Танви, нека Аллах уздигне његове редове, рекао да је пост, не само да обуздава основне жеље, него је само по себи племенито средство за стицање такве.
Шта је значење Таква?
Таква значи уздржавати се од гријеха, а истовремено бити свјестан Аллахове величине. Другим речима, to constantly remind myself that I am a slave of Allah and He is watching me, and I will have to answer in front of Him; with this in mind, when a person abandons a sin, it is called taqwa.
As Allah says:
“But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination, then indeed, Paradise will be [његов] refuge.” (Surah al-Nāzi‘āt, 79:40-41)
Стога, taqwa is when an individual out of the fear of standing in front of Allah, stops themselves from fulfilling their base and carnal desires.
My Lord Is Watching Me
Fasting is the best training for acquiring taqwa, even for a flagrant sinner, for when they fast their condition changes. In a hot summer day, when such a fasting person is alone in their room and they have their personal fridge with cold water, упркос њиховој жељи да пију ту хладну воду коју не пију! Ако то ураде, у близини нема друге особе која би их замерила и врло лако би могли да изађу на ифтар увече са пријатељима, и нико други не би знао. Међутим, они то не чине јер је њихов пост био за Аллаха и знају да Он бди.
Стога, рекао је Аллахов Посланик:
„Заиста је твој Господар рекао: „Свако добро дело се награђује са десет истих до седам стотина пута. Пост је за Мене, и наградићу за то.’ (Џами ал-Тирмизи, 764).
За све остале радње, Алах ће наградити десетоструко или седамдесетоструко или стоструко, чак и до седам стотина пута за добротворне сврхе. Међутим, fasting is the only action that Allah has said that He will reward it because this is an action that is done solely for His sake. This awareness is taqwa, and fasting is one of the means and the manifestation of it.
у наставку, as you are getting trained to acquire taqwa by abstaining from drinking that cold water then why do you not take it a step further? Why do you not abstain from the unlawful when you go out to work? Just as you fear Allah for drinking that cold water while fasting, why do you not fear Allah while dealing unlawfully in your business or at work? Why do you not prevent your eyes from the evil glances and your ears from the unlawful sounds and your tongue from the unlawful speech? Your Ramaḍān training course will only be complete if you abstain from all the unlawful things.
Just as the medicine is necessary to cure a disease, so is the abstinence from that which causes it or adds to it! Allah has made fasting obligatory in this month in order for us to acquire taqwa, but that cannot be without the abstinence from sins. If you turn on the air-condition of your room, but you don’t close up your windows, it will not cool your room. Слично томе, if you leave the windows of sins open, your fast will not be able to give you it’s desired benefit.
Real Objective Is To Obey
As mentioned earlier, fasting curbs the base desires within a person, Међутим, this is a (секундарни) wisdom behind it. The real objective of fasting is to obey the command of Allah and His Messenger. Whenever they command us to eat, eating at that moment is thedīn, and whenever they command us to stop eating, then at that moment thedīn is to stop. The entiredīn revolves around obeying Allah and His Messenger.
You fasted the entire day and when the command came to open it at the sunset (ifṭār), it is recommended for you to haste in opening the fast and it is disliked to delay without a valid reason. The real objective of fasting is to obey Allah’s command and not to follow one’s desires. In regular circumstances, greed is a reprehensible characteristic. Међутим, when He commands us to be greedy then acting upon it has it’s unique pleasure.
Seek Purity in Livelihood
Још једна важна ствар коју желим да расветлим је важност конзумирања халала бар у овом месецу. Желите да избегнете ситуацију да отворите свој пост од богатства које је загађеноribaили имате свој сухур од богатства стеченог митом. Какав би то био пост у којем бисухоор иifṭār су из харам богатства? Стога, спречите да зарадите харам и тражите помоћ од Аллаха! Говори Му и реци, “О Аллаху! Желим да конзумирам халал, спаси ме од харама.”
Неки људи живе халал, Међутим, због њихове непажње, неки харам се помеша са њиховом зарадом. За такве особе је врло лако избећи харам, само треба да буду посебно пажљиви у овом месецу у томе како раде ствари на послу. С друге стране, there are those whose primary mode of earning is from a harām source, на пример, they might be dealing with interest. Regarding such individuals, др. ‘Abdul Ḥayy al-‘Ārifī (д. 1986 CE/1406 AH)[2] suggested that they should take a month leave from their work and only utilize the funds from halāl source for this month; if possible try to find another halāl work during this time. If this is not possible, then take a (non-interest bearing) loan for this month’s expenses and have a firm conviction that they will only consume and feed their family from a halāl source.
Ramaḍān is the month in which Satan gets chained and locked away. Стога, it becomes much easier to abstain from sins. In spite of the increased worship in this blessed month, try to abandon the sins.
Закључак
The third important note I would like to make before I conclude is to avoid anger in this blessed month. This month is of patience and forbearance, дакле, avoid anger so that you can abstain from the sins that follow it.
Аллахов Посланик (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) рекао:
“If one of you is abused by an ignorant person while fasting, then let him say: ‘Indeed I am fasting.’” (Џами ал-Тирмизи, 764)
As for worship in this month, it is known to all the believers that the fasting andтаравих prayers are the most important acts of worship. Додатно, the recitation of the Qur’ān is also an important form of worship, because in this month Angel Jibreel would review the entire Qur’ān with the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). Стога, increase the recitation of the Qur’ān as much as you can.
In addition to it, влажи свој језик сталним спомињањем Алаха док ходаш, погон, обављати своје дневне послове. Реците следеће:
Слава Богу, и хвала Богу, и нема бога осим Бога, а Бог је највећи
"Субханаллахи вал-Хамдолилахи ва Ла илаха иллаллаху ва Аллаху Акбар."
„Све похвале припадају Алаху, и сва хвала припада Аллаху, и нема бога осим Аллаха, а Аллах је већи.”
Такође, повећајте поздраве пророку Мухамеду (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), повећајте тражење вашег опроштаја и број надмоћних молитви. Токомсухоор време, you have an ample opportunity to offer thetaḥajjud молитве, дакле, wake a little earlier and offer a fewtaḥajjud молитве. Try to have focus in your salāt; the men should join the congregational prayers in the mosque, and above all avoid the sins.
May Allah give us the tawfīq to act upon what we have learned today, and may Allah make this Ramaḍān a month full of blessings, and allow us to fully benefit from it. Amīn.
