Meaning and Benefits of Ramadan!

5 Pillars of Islam!

1.       Shahadah – La ilaha illallah, Muhammadur rasool Allah
2.       Salah – 5 times namaz in a day
3.       Zakat – Charity
4.       Sawm – Fasting (Roza) during the month of Ramadan
5.       Hajj - For those Muslims who are physically and financially able to make the journey to Makkah, the Hajj is a once in a lifetime duty that is the peak of their religious life.

Ramadan
A name chosen by Allah (S.W.T) himself for the month of fasting. The rest of the names in the hijri calendar are chosen by the Arabs. It’s the only name of the month which is mentioned in the Holy Quran!

Meaning: To burn (jala dena)
·        The sins that we have done in the last 324 or 325 days of the year (Hijri Calendar) starts to burn from the 1st day of Ramadan & as the 30 days of Ramadan is over, the person becomes as pure as a new born.

Benefits:
·        Spiritual - 1:700
For every deed of yours, you’ll get 700 times the benefit. So if you spend Re.1/- as charity, you will receive 700 neki.
·        Tarawih: For every sajda in tarawih, 1500 neki i.e. 60000 neki a day.
·        Lailatu Qadr – The night (21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, & 29th) to seek forgiveness from Allah (S.W.T)

Four types of people shall not be forgiven even in the night of Lailatu Qadr
1.       Alcoholic
2.       Disobedient to parents
3.       Disrespectful to relatives
4.       The one who hates someone & wants to harm that person in any manner (Keena)

Seek forgiveness in this holy month of Ramadan! May Allah (S.W.T) bless us all.

Ramadan Mubarak!

--- YOUR SOCIAL PRESENCE PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE FOR YOUR FUTURE EMPLOYER--- Have you recently applied or been/planning for an interview?
