Have you ever felt the need to pause the disorder of life and reset? Ramadhan is the perfect opportunity for this. Ramadhan is considered one of the holiest months of the year for Muslims around the world. This month of fasting was chosen by the Almighty Allah to reveal the Quran, the holy book of Islam, to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This divine connection makes Ramadhan a time of heightened spirituality and purpose.
The relevant verse states: 'It was in the month of Ramadhan that the Quran was revealed as guidance for mankind, clear messages giving guidance and distinguishing between right and wrong. So, anyone of you who is present that month should fast, and anyone who is ill or on a journey should make up for the lost days by fasting on other days later. Allah wants ease for you, not hardship. He wants you to complete the prescribed period and to glorify Him for having guided you, so that you may be thankful.'
This verse from the Quran about fasting emphasises the spiritual link and thankfulness connected to this holy month by relating the Quran’s revelation to the practice of fasting during Ramadhan. That is why, during Ramadhan, Muslims commemorate the revelation of the Quran.
Revealed over 1,400 years ago, this holy book marks the direct word and message of Allah. The Holy Quran is not just a book for Muslims, but a guide for life, offering wisdom, comfort and answers to life’s deepest questions and doubts. In fact, the Holy Quran is a source of wisdom and inspiration for anyone willing to approach it with an open heart. Whether you are seeking peace, answers, or a deeper understanding of life’s purpose, the Holy Quran speaks to the human soul in ways that exceed culture and time.
As you explore the Holy Quran, you will encounter profound ideas about justice, mercy, patience, and the beauty of creation. The Holy Quran challenges humans to think deeply, reflect and act with compassion. This could be the message your soul has been waiting for! Accordingly, during Ramadhan, Muslims dedicate extra time to reading, reciting and reflecting on the Holy Quran.
This deep engagement with the Holy Quran’s message elevates Ramadhan from a sacred observance to a reflective journey of self-discovery, spiritual renewal and reconnection with the Almighty Allah. It provides an opportunity to discard bad habits, realign the soul and embrace a fresh start.
The revelation of the Holy Quran is believed to have occurred during the last ten days of Ramadhan. This makes the month not only a time for spiritual discipline, but also a time for deep gratitude for the guidance and mercy that the Holy Quran brings. Likewise, during the last 10 days of Ramadhan, there is a special focus on seeking Laylat Al Qadr, the Night of Power, which is believed to be the night when the Holy Quran was first revealed.
Muslims believe that prayers made during this night are especially powerful and that it is a time of great mercy from Allah. This Night of Power is considered holier than a thousand months and holds immense spiritual significance. It is believed to occur on an odd night during the last 10 days of Ramadhan.
Ramadhan stands as one of the most sacred times for Muslims. It is the month in which the Holy Quran was revealed as guidance for men and women, a declaration of direction and a means of rescue. Ramadhan holds huge significance for Muslims; it is time of spiritual reflection, self-improvement and heightened devotion.
The true essence of Ramadhan lies in the fact that people pray for forgiveness of all their past sins. They practice self-control through fasting and purify themselves by performing various good deeds and religious rituals. Ramadhan is a reminder that the soul’s nourishment is just as vital as the body’s. Whether you are fasting or simply curious, this month offers a chance to reflect, renew and reconnect.
