Ramadan, the month of fasting is an opportunity to get away from the seasons of turmoil and from racing over the wreckage of the world, especially the deadly addiction to technology. Writes Muhanna Habeel
Have you ever wondered about the season of acts of worship in the times of Ramadan, how does it coincide between the nations of the earth and where the Muslim was striving in the universe of Allah, from the North Pole to the lowest of the earth, whichever of them enjoys those blessed hours during the nights of fasting, whether it was long or short so that it hardly reaches three hours a year? Today and tonight, how does Allah send down His mercy and the light of His blessing on those sacred evenings, and the different night of decree among Muslims?
The time difference between day and night is already in place, regardless of the crisis of the Muslims and their struggles over the readings and the astronomical calculation, so how does God organize for these and those the season of worship, and the tables of remembrance and supplication, despite everyone participating in the greater part of Ramadan, even if they parted in a day or two.
Well, what if diligent Muslims made a mistake in defining Ramadan? And the night of the twenty-seventh, for example, became the night of the twenty-sixth, according to the segment of the moon in the microscope, which became clear after a time or an accurate calculation that matched the observation of satellites and the night of Eid. Did the divine booty for the Muslims who rose up, prayed and supplicated, miss the reward of the Night of Decree, even if it was during the ten days, according to some imams, so they prolonged standing on the night of the twenty-fourth, thinking that it was the night of the twenty-third. Will Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, hold them accountable, and deduct from them the reward for good deeds?
Here is the detail that we liberate the thought of the mind and the heartbeat around, that Ramadan is not a ruler of astronomical calculation, nor a date set for you by the employer, and if he appoints for you what is the month, in which Allah chooses for His servants, a specific time for a specific worship that is fasting, and multiplying acts of worship, even if they fast by mistake on the day of Eid, thinking that it is the completion of Ramadan.
Brothers and sisters, Ramadan and everyone who follows us among our non-Muslim brothers, and is interested in understanding the philosophy of this worship, is a spiritual and moral time in which the soul circumambulates, with the secret of existence and the greatness of the kingdom.
And seek the help of Allah to stay away from those seasons of tumult and tumult, and from racing over the wreckage of the world, and from that deadly addiction in the camps of technology, which capitalist modernity has succeeded in harnessing, against the spiritual self and the moral communication between humanity, so that every day it steals the space of natural freedom from our hybridity, and the ground of the great instinct in our families and our children, and that is why thirst intensifies, and the soul is kidnapped, and it is thrown into the valleys of materialism, dryness of feelings, and the scarcity of the dilapidated world upon itself.
Only then does Ramadan come with the presence of the spirit that Allah writes for people, and our Lord, may He be glorified in His exaltedness, does not mean and is not specific to Him, times or places, for He is before time and before place. The hermits go to the Sacred House of Allah and make the pilgrimage to their Qibla.
And do you see that he who arrived on the day of Arafah and circumambulated the House, and his heart was turned away from Allah, going around the Kaaba and in himself endless battles of enmities and rivalries, and rancor and racing over money and spoils, did he feel the blessing of Hajj, did he be covered by the ascetic tent that has no material roof in rituals? No matter how stately the camp or modesty?
Rather, the Muslim traveling here is a physical body that strives on the earth, and the way is cut off for his soul because his tongue said to you, O Allah, to you, and his soul that led to evil was roaring in itself, to you, O trials of the world and its calculations, to you, what a season of historical loss, and it is likewise for those who thought that Ramadan is fasting of limbs No murmurs of humility and submissiveness of the soul, it is a season for those who miss the sacred remembrance that God is the clear truth, He broke the earth with His mercy, and called you to the season of His salvation and to the life of conscience, because He loves you and loves good for those who seek it, and even those who turn away from it, and He says to them, “You are my servants, I do not care about your bodies or Your money, not your riches or your poverty, but I rejoice in your return even if your stumbling blocks are many.
Here is the intent, here is the principle, here is the return, in the symbolism of Ramadan, here is the good you are looking for, here is the treasure that no matter how much you dig the earth, and how much you dig into every creek, and no matter how long you stretch your ropes in the capitals of the world, beautiful and rich, poor or destitute, you will only find it in yourself, when you reach You have reached it, and only Allah, the righteous, the most merciful, has brought you to it, when He found the truth of your quest and your questioning, so the crescent of Ramadan shone in your heart, and people were blaming for readings and interests, and you are in the bliss of contentment. Light of Allah guides to His light whomever He wills. The month of fasting is an opportunity to get away from the seasons of turmoil and turmoil and from racing over the wreckage of the world, especially the deadly addiction to technology.
