May Allah ponder His blessings & mercy on us during and after this rewarding month of Ramadhan (Ameen)
 
Please remember us in your prayers.

DR Mohammed Sohail Memon





 

The month of Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was sent down, 


Does the month of Ramadan commemorate anything?
The month of Ramadan is when the first verses of the Quran were revealed. Note: The entire Quran was revealed over a period of about 23 years, starting in 610 CE and ending in 632 CE.


What is the purpose of the fast?

Quran Surah al-Baqarat verse 183 states that the purpose of the fast is to develop a quality called in Arabic "taqwa". Taqwa may be defined as, "Worshiping God as if you see Him because if you don't, He sees you." It is thus a kind of awe or God-fearingness, an awareness that God is always watching. Nobody but God and the person fasting know if that person actually observed the entire fast or secretly cheated. Thus, in order to resist the temptation to cheat, one has to remember that God is always watching and will see any lapse.


What does the fast entail?

The fast is from dawn to sunset each day of Ramadan. The fast involves refraining from food, drink, and (for married people) sexual relations during the daylight hours.


When Does Ramadan Begin in 2011?

It is estimated that Ramadan will start on July 31, 2011 for most of North America, South America, Northwest Europe. This is subject to the first visual sighting of the lunar crescent.

For South-east Europe, Turkey, Middle East, India, Pakistan, Indonesia, Australia it is estimated that Ramadan will start on August 1, 2011.
