Thiruvananthapuram : The devout Muslims in Kerala will for the next almost 30 days be indulged in prayers, fasting, charity and religious activity as the holy month of Ramadan began here early Sunday.
The supreme leader of the Indian Union Muslim League Pannakad Hyder Ali Shihab Thangal and other religious leaders addressed the masses about the importance of the month of Ramadan.
Muslims in Kerala constitute roughly 24 percent of the 3.3 crore population of the state.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.
It is the month of fasting, in which Muslims don’t eat or drink anything from dawn until sunset.
Fasting is meant to teach the person patience and humility. Ramadan is a time to fast for the sake of God, to offer even more prayer than normal and ask forgiveness for the sins of the past and ask for guidance in the future.
Ramadan ends with Eid-ul-Fitr, and normally depending on the calendar it takes either 29 or 30 days.
Ma’din Academy in the Muslim dominated Kerala district of Malappuram, one of the growing educational institutions in the state, with more than 15000 students and 25 educational and charity ventures, welcomed Ramadan with a 25 item action plan to be implemented during the holy month.
The programme includes spiritual gatherings, educational and charity service activities, iftar meetings – breaking Ramadan’s fast, online sessions. Besides, importance would be given to religious sessions.—IANS
As Salamu Alaikum Ya manit Tabaul Huda:
Welcoming Holy Ramadan I invite all to read Holy Quran with Translation. Fasting was prescribed all Holy Prophets & theirs Ummat.
Hazrat Ibrahim, Hazrat, Ishmael Hazrat Ishaq, Hazrat Musa , Hazrat
Isa all fasted . Though Hazrat Adam(AS) was a prophet ,his first son Kabil(cane) was influenced by satan the cursed devil & Kabil killed his own younger brother Habil out of Matrimonial enmity. Then Kabil left the high land & came down to the plain land & his generous increased & indulged in Idol worship & evil nudity & the like.
Holy Quran contain the wealth of accurate holy information &
all can benifit from the Holy Quran.What we feel very sad that Muslims are fighting Muslims .Holy Quran refers to Mankind & Muslims but evil leaders made the group & spreading secterian violence in every country.
I invit all to study the scientific & mathametical affinity & miracles in the Holy Quran: Holy Prohet Mohammed had never copied Holy Quran but He was gifted With the Holy Quran for the guidance of Mankind: Holy Quran Mentined men 24 times,women 24 times.
Dunia 115 Times, After life 115 Times. Life 145 times, death 145 times,People 50 times, Messangers 50 times.Seek refuse to ALLAH SWT 11 times,iblees 11 times.Benefit 50 times, corrupt 50 times Month 12 times, days 365 times & many ,many more.
Most amazing: Sea mentioned 32 times,Land 13 times.
Muslim Scientists arrived at the following: 32+13=45
32/45, 13/45 (100%) Sea= 71.111111111 Land:28.888888
Now the Modern science agree that this the exact Proportion of the Sea & Land. There is no scientific clash with Holy quran.
Holy quran is the guidance to mankind. Thank you.
Ramadan Mubarak to all. May ALLAH SWT help us to live in peace with all fellow human being.
