Things You Need to Know About Ramadan by Sh. Kifah Mustapha
Introduction: Ramadan is the ninth month in our lunar calendar. The origin of this word is (Ra-ma-doo رَمَضُ) which means in the Arabic language: "intense or extreme heat."[1] "When the names of months were copied from the old language, it coincided that Ramadan was in times of extreme heat and that is why it was named (the month) Ramadan."[2] It is also related that: (the term "Ramadan" is because the month of fasting burns the sins away with good deeds.)[3] Fasting in Arabic means: "to abstain."
Priorities In Ramadan by Sh. Jafar Hawa
ويهلُّ علينا هلال رمضان من جديد، لعل الله يبلغنا القبول وقد بلغنا الوصول. ولا بد من تجديد النية مع كل ليلة، وتبييتها توكيداً، واستحضارهاتثبيتاً. وإن لهذه الشهر غاية عند الله متمثلة بقوله: "كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ" (البقرة: ١٨٣)، ألا وهي التحقق بمنهج التقوى، فتحفظ النفس عما حرم الله، وتُقَوِّيها على أمره.
