The Last 10 days and nights of Ramadan: Seek the Greatest Night of the Year
30th Aug 2010
I still remember my childhood when an old man of 70 years, Abdul
Jabbar, used to come from the district of Faridpur (now in Bangladesh)
took the silent alleys of our village in the night, chanting and
calling, to wake up Muslims for the last meal before another day
of Ramadan fasting begins. Abdul Jabbar reminds one of a character
from the book The Thousands and One Nights. He is a strange person
who comes out from the depth of the night to disturb the quietness
by a shrill cry calling, Suhuoor…Suhoor.

Ramadan: The Month
of the Qur'an
19th Aug 2010
The Noble Qur’an was revealed in the month of Ramadan (Al-Qur’an,
97:1-3.). The Qur’an was sent down in the month of Ramadan on the Night
of Power Lailatul Qadr. (Al-Qur’an, 91:1-3.). It is the month of Ramadan
that Allah has honoured by revealing the Qur’an. Because of this strong
relation between the Qur’an and the month of Ramadan, Prophet Muhammad
(peace be upon him) used to read the Qur’an to Archangel Jibreel every
Ramadan. I think this is the right place to discuss the purpose and objective
of the revelation of the Qur’an, its importance, the campaigns against
it and the do’s and don’ts of the Qur’an.
