Why Muslims Fast in Ramadan?

why human beings need to worship Allah


‏‏‎Dr. Bilal Philips‎‏ مع ‏‎Ibrahim Tanko‎‏ و‏‏45‏ آخرين‏‏.
To understand why human beings need to worship Allah, one must first understand what is meant by the term 'worship'. In Arabic, worship is called 'ibaadah which is derived from the noun 'abd meaning 'a slave'. A slave is one who is expected to do whatever his master wills. Consequently, worship according to the final revelation means 'obedient submission to the will of God.' This was the essence of the message of all the prophets sent by God to humankind. Dr. Bilal Philips ‪#‎Worship‬ ‪#‎Islam‬ ‪#‎Abdullah‬

“Do not precede fasting Ramadan by fasting

Darussalam Publishers & Distributors
Skip Fasting one or two days before Ramadan
عن أبي سلمة عن أبي هريرة عن النبي صلی الله عليه وسلم قال لا تقدموا صوم رمضان بيوم ولا يومين إلا أن يکون صوم يصومه رجل فليصم ذلک الصوم
It was reported from Abu Salmah, from Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet (peace be upon him) that he (peace be upon him) said: “Do not precede fasting Ramadan by fasting a day or two, expect for a fast that a man fasts (as a habit); (if it is so) then let him fast that fast.”
حضرت ابوہریرہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ روایت ہے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا تم میں سے کوئی شخص رمضان سے ایک یا دو دن پہلے روزہ نہ رکھے ہاں وہ شخص روزہ رکھ سکتا ہے جس کو عادت ہو اور اتفاق سے وہ دن اس کی عادت کے مطابق ہو جائے۔
[Sunan Abu Dawud, Book of Fasting, Hadith: 2335]

month of Ramadaan

‏‏‎Dr. Bilal Philips‎‏ مع ‏‎Baba Kee Laddlii‎‏ و‏‏40‏ آخرين‏‏.
Dear brothers and sisters, the month of Ramadaan should not be a month of feasting but instead a month of fasting. Let us remember this while sitting for suhoor (the dawn meal) and at the time of iftaar (breaking the fast). Although it is important to take care of our health during these days of fasting, we must focus on the sublime principle of moderation, which Islam commands inside and outside of the fast. For, excesses of overeating, staying up all night in play, and over sleeping are contrary to the teachings of Islam. Brothers, let your wives spend more time in worship rather than tying them to the stoves in your kitchens all day. Parents, engage in worship with your children and families and make this a month of increased mercy and love among you.
May your Ramadaan be blessed (Ramadaan Mubaarak) and May Allah accept your good deeds as sincerely done for Him (Taqabbal Allaahu minnaa wa minkum).

‎forgiveness‬ for the ‪#‎sins‬

‏‏‎Dr Zakir Naik‎‏ مع ‏סיעדאַ שאַ הוססאַיני‏ و‏‏39‏ آخرين‏‏.
The Prophet (pbuh) said:
“Anyone who asks for ‪#‎forgiveness‬  for the ‪#‎sins‬ he has done it is as though he has not committed that sin”
Sunan Ibn Maajah, Vol. No. 5, Book of ‪#‎Piety‬, Hadith No. 4250

stock of ourselves


‏‏‎Dr. Bilal Philips‎‏ مع ‏‎Junayd Vulcan Secapero‎‏ و‏‏38‏ آخرين‏‏.
‪#‎PrepareForRamadan‬ 21
We should take stock of ourselves and recognize our shortcomings in doing acts of worship such as praying in congregation, remembering Allaah (dhikr), paying attention to the rights of neighbours, relatives and the Muslims, spreading the greeting of salaam, enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil, urging one another to follow the truth and be patient and steadfast in doing so, being patient in avoiding evil actions and in doing good deeds, and accepting the decree of Allaah with patience. ‪#‎IOURamadan‬

Is this a mosque??

Explore Islam
"He asked: Is this a mosque??
Than he went and put his face on the ground as if he was praying... It was surprising for us. we were waiting for him to finish just to open a discussion...
He is LUKAS a Christian young man from BRAZIL ..
I said: May we ask you a question?? You were ... praying??
He replied: YES!!
I said: do you know that this is the first time that I see a "Christian" praying just like Jesus was praying?? You can find in Matthew chapter n.26 verse n.39 that Jesus, peace be upon him, fell on his face and prayed... and
when you see someone praying like that in a mosque or in a street, what would you think about him?? He is a Christian?? an Atheist?? or a MUSLIM!!?? This is the way Muslims pray ... they are the real followers of Jesus because they must believe in him, not just respect him, but believe in him as a prophet and believe in all prophets...Allah orders us in Quran to believe in them all, and if we don't we are not Muslims.
Jesus, peace be upon him, said that there will be another prophet after him. When he comes, believe in him, so when a Christian knows that he should think ...why am I not a Muslim till now??
After a long discussion... We offered him some Islamic books in English and in Portuguese and here he surprised us again ...He took them immediately and said: I'm doing some researches about Islam, those books will be a great help for me...
May Allah guide him to the straight path...Ameen"
