| Ramadan: Time for Reconciliation | |
By Sadia Dehlvi Aug 12, 2011 Ramadan is a time for intensive worship, reading of the Quran and purifying one's behaviour by engaging in charity and other good deeds. It is an opportunity to bond with friends and family. Islamic scriptures say that those who abandon their loved ones will not enter Paradise till they make peace with them. Getting together for Iftar meals is encouraged as a blessing so that families and friends make time for each other. Ramadan is a gift from Allah for fasting and prayer that reminds us of the primordial covenant made with the Supreme. Ramadan is an opportunity to look up to God, just like in Haj or in the daily ritual prayer, when the hands are lifted to the ears in an upward motion, pushing away trivia and saying, Allah ho Akbar, God is the Greatest. |
