First day of fasting 2006
Its the first day of Ramadan 2006, (Hijrah 1427). Muslim starts obligatory fasting from today, for 1 month.
This morning, after the Subuh prayers, we had an Ustaz (a Muslim religious teacher) talking to us, reminding us of our obligations, as a Muslim, in this fasting month. In our Surau (small masjid but no Friday prayers done here, in the outskirt of Kuala Lumpur at Section 5 Wangsa Maju township).
Ramadan, a month of goodness with great rewards from Allah.
And last night, after the Maghrib prayers, by coincident, we had some 'tabligh' (travelling Muslims, in small groups, who want to experience the hardship of good Muslims of old, normally they do this over a period of 40 days, living rough and trying to expound the virtues of Islam among themselves and to others who are willing to listen)guests from Indonesia. One of them gave a short talk on Islam. They are with us for only 3 days.
The Tarawih prayers (we did 20 rakaah) and the Witr prayers (3 rakaah), after the evening Isha prayers, were led by two young Iman in turn, and they were from South Thailand. They will be with us for almost the whole of the fasting month.
"The month of Ramadaan is the month of great gains and profits. The smart trader is the one who makes the most of special occasions to increase his profits. So make the most of this month by doing lots of acts of worship, praying a great deal, reading Qur’aan, forgiving people, being kind to others and giving charity to the poor.
In the month of Ramadaan the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are shut. The devils are put in chains and a caller cries out each night, O seeker of good, proceed, O seeker of evil, desist.
So, O slaves of Allaah, be among the people of good, following the path of your righteous forebears who were guided by the Sunnah of your Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), so that we may end Ramadaan with our sins forgiven and our righteous deeds accepted.
We ask Allaah, The Most High, to forgive you and us in this blessed month, and to make us of those who have true Taqwa (God-Consciousness)."
Wishing all Muslims well in this good month.
