Ramdan The Sahabas (ra) Way

The Holy Quran Al Fatha Chapter 48 Verse 29

Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah ; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating [in prayer], seeking bounty from Allah and [His] pleasure. Their mark is on their faces from the trace of prostration. That is their description in the Torah. And their description in the Gospel is as a plant which produces its offshoots and strengthens them so they grow firm and stand upon their stalks, delighting the sowers - so that Allah may enrage by them the disbelievers. Allah has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds among them forgiveness and a great reward.

Fasting

My little son was up at four for the morning repast. Like the others he too wanted to observe the fast. The fare was simple, chapatti, vegetable and egg. No beef or chunk of mutton or chicken leg. No food after sunrise and the thirst we defy. No Smoking’, ‘No Paan’ or the occasional lie. Control the impulses and the thoughts that come unbidden. Why! For a man even his wife is forbidden! Fasting manifests the ongoing bout. Between good sense and the devil’s clout. Those who view fasting with doubt. understand, the devil is within not without. Men with vaunted intelligence will demand. How does it help, the devil’s brief remand. Well my friend, if you can be good for thirty days. Why not for an year or for always. The message of fasting is simple and brief. Do good, be polite and stay out of mischief. Eat less and you eat only twice. Be charitable, cultivate no avarice.
