Why?

hdasti    Community Projects, Inspiration, Social Media     find out why, holy days, islam, muslims, Quran, ramadan, religion, religious tolerance

The ‘Find out why’ initiative is a great way for Muslims and Non-Muslims alike to understand why fasting was prescribed to us by Allah, what Ramadan teaches all mankind, and how learning more about this month is beneficial for all, regardless of  faith.

“The month of Ramadan, in which the Qur’an was sent down as guidance for people, and as clear signs of Guidance and the Criterion (between truth and falsehood). Therefore whoever of you is present this month, must fast it, and whoever is so ill that he cannot fast or on a journey (must fast the same) number of other days. God wills ease for you, and He does not will hardship for you, so that you can complete the number of the days required, and exalt God for He has guided you, and so it may be that you will give thanks (due to Him)”. Qur’an 2:185

Suggest this site to everyone around you who may or may not understand Ramadan, for it is said in the Qura’an:

By time, Indeed, mankind is in loss, Except for those who believe and achieve righteous deeds and advise each other to truth and advise each other to patience. Quran 103:1-4
