Man was created from sand and was given all the essentials
to live successfully on earth, he was given a religion with which its teachings
he can live a purposeful and fulfilled life, the religion which is believed to
be safe haven where the righteous and the believer derive their pleasure, it is
the house that hold the heaven and earth which itself was created to be
standing with the support of the Pillars of Islam, it is held in position with
the aid of five pillars which are; iman, salat, zakat, sawn and hajj.
A
religion that possesses all these pillars but with the exclusion of one is like
a house without its pillars complete, the house will lack firmness, it will be
shaky and will cause harm to the people living therein
One of these
pillars is a shield that screens man away from indecency and lustful activities,
according to Prophet Muhammad “fasting is a shield or a shelter so the person
observing fast should avoid sexual relation with his wife and should not behave
foolishly and with him enjoined to be doing good to kith and kin
This pillar that shields man from
the torment of hell fire also provide shelter that screens man away from the
influence of devil, the one-time believer of God that was later excommunicated
and estranged from God as a result of pride, the said pillar is to be held
tightly by everyone that claims to be Muslim during the scheduled month,
Ramadan, in revelation of how great and blessed this month is, the under listed
will open your eyes and give you hints on how blessed the month is
Month of knowledge : everything that relates to knowledge in
Islam come from this month as the first teaching, learning and reading believed
have ever occurred in Islam was as a result of the revelation of the
ummukl-kitab, the mother of all books, the Quran, which was revealed during
this blessed month of sawn, the book was revealed and received with the prophet
Muhammad being under the veil of ignorance after which he was commanded to read
in the name of God that created him and so he started reading and this was what
closed the door against the period of ignorance in Islam, it was the month in
which knowledge, wisdom and understanding was given birth to
Month of bountiful harvest- all good deeds that mankind
embark on during this month will be rewarded in manifold and in addition, the
last ten nights during Ramadan has in it the night of destiny, a single night
that whoever is able to rise up in and worship God is better than someone that
worship in a thousand months
Month of repentance; -
during this month, every evil doers and sinners always have a change of
mind as a result of various wonders that is performed during this months, the
doorstep to the places of indecent acts like prostitution, gambling and drunkenness dries as
consecrated air from heaven pervade the atmosphere
Month of freedom; this month is the month which everyone
experience freedom to do good deeds and shun indecency, it is the month in
which the door to the paradise is widely open to all mankind and also, it is
the month when devil and its agents will be tied down with chains so that he
would not have influence to misguide anyone
Month of do and live ; this month is the month when people
are able to show generosity to their fellow man without regret, everything come
in abundance, peoples graving for the things reduce because before they ask for
it, they have been granted
According
to the Quran, fasting has been ordained for every Muslim as it has been
ordained for every Muslim as it has been ordained for those before you, so that
you may become pious
