New Moon

Moon was very important to Islam because this is one of the important sign and creation from their God (Allah).

Islam follows a purely lunar calendar. From the calendar Islam take note the most important month which is the ninth month because it is the start of Ramadan. Ramadan starts from this month and observing the first new moon. New moon lies between Earth and the Sun.

Generally following the Islamic Calendar and the New Moon makes the different schedule of the Ramadan so none Muslims not very familiar with the schedule. Note during Ramadan there are people who are excuse they are the soldiers, sick people and children. Ramadan takes about 30 days. The end of Ramadan was also celebrated by the Muslims. This is the day of their feast. It was called Id Al-Fitr. The end of Ramadan can be identified if the new moon appears.

Another important thing that you have to note in Islam all of the Mosques have Moon. Moon is the symbol of Islamic religion. And during Ramadan the Quran was revealed to Mankind. Quran is a complete guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion between right and wrong.

Wonderful Islamic Music

Assalamu Aalikum Brother and Sisters.

When I was exploring youtube. I got stock in Islamic film done by most of our brother in Islam because I saw this film very interesting. So with that I reviewed it and checked the beauty of the film. It was so amazing because the music was just like talking to the soul of your body. It lightens my soul and perspective in life. And see the beauty of the creation of God (Allah). This also gives me an idea of how great is Allah (One God) to human existence?

Ramadan

Bismillah hir rahma nir-raheem

(In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful )

O you who believe! Observing fasting is prescribe for you as it was prescribe for those before you, that you may attain.

(Al-Baraqarah 2:183)

Every Muslim observes fasting for one month in Islamic calendar. As side from not eating before sunrise and after sunset, Muslim turns their bad deed to good deed. Every Muslim is racing for doing good deeds in this month, even very simple one like putting some stones on a right place especially if they saw it prone to accident.

Another noticeable to Islam during Ramadan was Charity. Muslims with a very inclined wealth distribute their excess wealth to their brothers after Ramadan. Muslims also do their obligatory prayer on time and read the Quran as often as possible.

I hope this humble ideas gives you some enlightenment " How Ramadan important to Islam?"

Why do Muslim Fast?

First of all let me declared my testimony of faith.

Ash hadu an la ilaha

illal lhu wah dahu la shareeka lahu

wa ash hadu an-na

Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluhulah

This was translated by Muslim and Tirmizi.

“ I testify that there is no deity except Allah alone. he is one and has no partner. And I testify that Muhammad (Subhana wa taaallah) is His slave and messenger.”

(Muslim)

“ O Allah make me among those who are penitent and make me among those who are purified”.

( Tirmizi)

Muslim makes fast during Ramadan because they want to be purified and of course that is the duty of every Muslim. And usually every Muslim memorized the five pillars of Islam because it is their duty to Allah. These are the five pillars of Islam

The Five Pillar of Islam

1. Ash-Shahadah ( The Testimony of Faith)


2. As-Salat (Establishing of five obligatory Prayer)


3. Zakat (Charity)


4. As-Sawm (Fasting usually observed during month of Ramadan)


5. Hajj (A Pilgrimage to Mecca)
