My Opinion On Ramadan Comments

ON RAMADAN
The very Arabic word Ramadan means "to burn down". The rites of this holy month burns down our desires for food, for wealth and for sex. We struggle for those three things and feel that satisfying those needs are our goal in life. Lord Buddha has advised us to burn our desires. Prof.T.S.Eliot, in his masterpiece, 'The Waste Land' refers this in the part "Fire Sermon". Ramdan (Ramlvan) is the month in which the first verse of the Holy Qur'an (Read in the name of Allah who created you from something sticky like leech-sperm plus ovum-zygote-.96: 1) was revealed to Prophet Mohammad(pbuh) . And this revelation continued as and when the Prophet needed clarifications on an issue. These Qur'anic verses are to guide people who read it and think of its implied sense. Qur'an tells us to read the verses and think of them (2: 44; 54: 17,22,32,40; and Qur'an contains guidelines to those who understand it (12: 111) . We must "chew" and "digest" the verses for our success in this world and the other world.

The best quality the Holy Qur'an insists is "Patience". Abstaining from desires and refraining from evils at times irritate us. Patience is half of the faith("eeman" of Muslims) . So, we suffer and control our mind to comply with the directions of God: Allah. the only Protector of you and me whom we shall worship This is the right path.(Qur'an,3: 51) . Surely, Allah is with the people of patience, (Qur'an,2: 153) ."Scoffers set a city aflame, but wise men turn away wrath", (the Bible, proverbs,29: 8) ."He who has no ill-will to any being, who is friendly and compassionate, free from egoism and self-sense, even-minded in pain and pleasure and patient…is My devotee is dear to Me"(Bhagavat Gita,12: 13-14) .Patience is the prime force of peace in all religions.
