Ramzan And Its Blessings

Allah (SWT) has always shown his love ,kindness and mercy toward his creatures but there are some special months, days and times which are told above from rest, Ramzan is also one of those special months in which Allah showers his countless blessings, considered the holiest month of the year, Muslims believe this is when the Holy Quran was “sent down from Heaven, a guidance unto men” . There are many reasons to fast, including the Muslim tradition. Other reasons include self-control. If a person is able to abstain from eating or drinking for that amount of time, he learns to control his desires and temptations and thus has greater self-control.



 Ramzan  is held each year at end of Arabic month. Muslims fast every day during this month and on the completion of the period, which is decided by the appearance of the new moon the next month following Ramzan called Shawal.  Ramzan is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar. It is believed the Holy Quran "was sent down from heaven, a guidance unto men, a declaration of direction, and a means of Salvation" during the month of Ramzan. Ramzan is a time when Muslims concentrate on their faith and spend less time on the concerns of their everyday lives. It is a time of worship and contemplation.  During the Fast of Ramzan strict restraints are placed on the daily lives of Muslims. They are not allowed to eat or drink during the daylight hours.Smoking and sexual relations are also forbidden during fasting. At the end of the day the fast is broken with prayer and a meal called the Iftar. In the evening following the Iftar it is customary for Muslims to go out visiting family and friends. The fast is resumed the next morning.

During Ramzan, it is common for Muslims to go to the Masjid (Mosque) and spend several hours praying and studying the Quran. In addition to the five daily prayers, during Ramzan Muslims recite a special prayer called the Taraweeh prayer (Night Prayer). The length of this prayer is usually 2-3 times as long as the daily prayers. Some Muslims spend the entire night in prayer. Fasting is supposed to teach Muslims about patience and spiritual things. It is a time for Muslims to think about how the poor and homeless suffer without lots of food, it helps Muslims to be more obedient, and less greedy.Muslim ask forgiveness for past sins, pray for guidance and help in refraining from everyday evils, and try to purify themselves through self-restraint and good deeds during this month. On the evening of the 27th day of the month, Muslims celebrate the Laylat-al-Qadr (the Night of Power). It is believed that on this night Muhammad first received the revelation of the Holy Quran. And according to the Quran, this is when God determines the course of the world for the following year.

Physical Appearance.

Being a fat or curvy girl its not easy for you to survive in a world where people judge you every second for your physical appearance, i was very confident as a child because i was unknown of these facts of our society that a girl should be fair and slim no matter what and yes when it comes to get married people are mostly looking for the girls who are very beautiful no matter how they look but they want their partner to be the most fascinating when it comes to looks. For me it was tough to be myself or love myself because there is a point in your life when your own family starts bullying you because of your weight, for them they are trying to help you but um sorry you guys are not helping anyway, you are just pushing me towards depression which leads to bad habits disorder and yes one of them is EATING and trust me it hurts a lot but whatever i still look for motivation where-ever i go, i am always seeking good things around me, so that people stop judging me on the basis of my looks.

 Yeah but wait its not over here, there is one more thing people may judge you for and its your color. Well it might sound awkward but  there are people who are totally fit and smart (physically) but they are also facing the same problem of bullying because they are not fair. We always highlight the word WOMEN that women are facing this problem or that problem but no, MEN are also going through so many things in their lives but the only difference is that they don't like to highlight their problems because our society has set boundaries in which men are men no matter how they are PHYSICALLY after all they are men lol (That's how our society thinks). I think we need more awareness about such things may be, most of the people don't relate with the problem I've mentioned above but guys there are people who feels the same way, most of the times people don't like to discuss such things because they feel its weird and people will make fun of you in future so yeah if you belongs from the narrow-minded people society then trust me people will make fun of you but keep my words in your mind "YOU ARE TOTALLY GREAT, THE WAY YOU ARE AND NOBODY HAS ANY RIGHT TO CHANGE YOU WHETHER PHYSICALLY OR MENTALLY. YOU ARE GORGEOUS/HANDSOME".  If your soul is beautiful than you are beautiful. Your body is just a picture of your story, you know if the story is interesting picture doesn't matter. There are people in this world who are unable to walk, talk, speak but they are alive and living their lives in a very proper way so why not we people just stop looking at the physical appearances and start working on ourselves to become a good human being with a graceful soul (That's what matters) because in the end of our lives our color and weight will not affect our deeds and we will be judged by our beautiful souls.
