The Benefits Of Roza During Holy Ramzan Month?

Different faiths have different ways of observing fasts. In Islam, roza or fasting in the holy month of Ramzan has a special significance and has been regarded as a farz or duty . It is one of the five pillars on which the edifice of Islam rests and it is only next in importance to namaz, the obligatory five-timesa-day prayers. It is the duty of every adult, sane and able Muslim to keep a fast for a whole month to make a person self-restrained and humble.

Roza is done out of deep love for God with genuine devotion, honest dedication and closeness to Allah. But mere abstinence from dawn to dusk is not roza in the real sense. In general terms, roza means abstaining from food, drink and physical intimacy .However, when we study its inner concept, we realise it to be the fasting of the heart, from unworthy concerns and worldly thoughts, in total disregard of everything but Allah.

During Ramadhan, Please Spare A Thought For The Poor!

Lavish Iftar parties have become part of Ramadan. But let us spare a thought to the deprived sections of the Muslim society who toil the entire day and complete their Iftar at a roadside Dhaba.

Ramadan is the month of fasting. It is nothing unusual about Muslims fasting in Ramadan. But there are a slew of Muslims whose fasting is quite noteworthy as compared to the other Muslims keeping the fast.
