Everything you need to know about the holy month Ramzan/Ramadan

Every Muslim around the world (and those around you) talking about Ramzan as well as the blessings it shower upon the believers. It is a scientifically proven fact that fasting is good for your health. Ramzan is a ninth month in Islamic calendar. Islamic calendar or lunar calendar consists 12 months in a year with 354 or 355 days. So, each year every month shifts 10 days from the previous year, for example, last year Ramzan started from 26 May and this year it shifted 10 days earlier that is 17 May. Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) had said, “When the month of Ramzan starts, the gates of heaven are opened and the gates of hell are closed and the devils are chained.”

Following are some Ramzaan-ic elements that you should know-

1.       Breaking the fast- It is preferred to break a fast with date because it was the way Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) used to break the fast. But if a person doesn’t have dates then he/she can drink water.

2.       Charity- Charity is one of the important aspect in Islam and every Muslim should give charity as money or in other forms. Zakaat is one of the five fundamental pillars of Islam. It is a compulsory act that Muslim should perform. Zakaat is calculated on the basis of total savings of a person in one lunar year, whatever the savings would be its 2.5% part is zakaat. Sadqa is another form of charity, unlike Zakaat it is not compulsory but voluntary. It can be given at any time of the year, to anyone and it can be any amount a person may like. 

3.       30-Days of Ramzan- 30 or 29 days (depending on moon) of Ramzan is divided into three phases. Each phase has 10 days in it. First phase is known as “Rehmat” (Blessings), second phase is known as “Maghfirat” (Forgiveness) and last one is known “Nijat” (Riddance from hellfire). We all know that Islamic Holy Book, Quran was revealed in this month. It was said that Quran was revealed in the last phase of this month and in odd night, it could be 21, 23, 25, 27 or 29. But no one knows its exact date. 

Besides, in Ramzan every 1 good deed equals to 70. People do as much good work as possible. It is said that, as it is necessary to clean our house every year, Ramzan does the same to purify the soul. Ramzan is the month of immense blessing, spirituality, recitation and prayer. After all it’s the way to reach Ar-Rayyan (paradise). Charity is important because there are many people in the society who cannot afford the expenses. It help them to buy things for them and their family for Eid.

After observing fast for 30 days what Muslims get in reward is Eid-ul-Fitr (yayy). A person can observe fast whole year but it is prohibited to fast on the first day of Eid, because it’s the day of happiness, peace and harmony and above all it’s the day to eat Sewai.

One Day

We will meet one day

Under the starry light

In a field full of blooming wildflowers

Surrounded by legends and fairies

Me, in a fiery gown

You, in a crisp tuxedo

Both yearn to be found by each other

Eyes wandering surreptitiously in the crowd

To get just a glimpse, maybe

Or maybe to touch and feel that you’re real and alive

To feel the essence of your skin

Will it be warm?

Like sultry winter sunlight

Will it be cold?

Like summery ice

Though it deems unattainable

Feels like the end of the world

In between the impossibles

We will find each other one day

I heard this song first when I was the biggest fan of Twilight.

I mean who wouldn’t be? It was played in the background when Edward proposed Bella for marriage.

Don’t get me wrong, but it was dreamy at that time!

Though at that time, I listened this song just for the sake it being in the playlist of Twilight’s Song List.

But as the time has passed, this song makes more sense (or at least to me).

I can understand this song in a better way, and can absorb the lyrics too.

Besides, it has the voice of Sia, so you know what you’re getting into.

Please do let me know, what are your thoughts about this song✌🏾
