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!

The Real Image

The Real Image in a virtual world! There was some event at my son’s school. Diyan was excited as this was the first time parents were invited to be a part of an event. Me & my wife sat on the second last row of the hall & soon, the show began. The event lasted for two hours which involved some group activities & drawing competition for the kids. Almost all the parents were cheering their kids except one. White short Gujrati kurta-pyjama, rumples on his face, thick glasses, a dark brown stick, trembling hands & barely able to stand on his feet but was trying his best to encourage almost every toddler. Thanks to those gossiping ladies through whom I came to know that Hemant bhai is seen in almost every fuction dedicated to children happening around the vicinity. No big deal, right? An old chap, nearly in his 80s, who might have nothing to do at that age, is trying to fritter away time. Couple of days later, I took Diyan for an evening walk at the near...

Why cant BJP and its supporters handle criticism?

Why can’t BJP & its supporters handle criticism? You are in power & it’s a democratic country. As a citizen of this diverse nation, we have the right to ask questions to the government & you’re obligated to answer us. Why do you have to defend yourself behind the excuse of Congress whenever we ask questions about the benefit of demonetization? Indeed it took us 60 years to realize that Congress was incompetent to run the country. Isn’t that the reason we gave an opportunity to you (with majority) in the first place? Why don’t you justify the after math of demonetization? The nation wants to know, after all those sacrifices, what have we achieved! We stood outside atm for days; 1.5 million lost their jobs; 2% downfall in GDP & 100+ martyrs outside the ATM/banks for the betterment of the country… We all accepted it assuming this is what it takes to become a corruption free country & at the end, it will be all worth it! You have asked for 50 days, we gave you a...
