The month of Ramadan comes to us every year as a light and pleasant guest. We welcome him, welcome Ramadan, but he passes quickly, and we ask him to slow down and stay with us. “Hey Ramadan,” the month of blessing and religious and human giving.
That is why we hope that all months of the year will be Ramadan, and that all days of the week will be Friday. Ramadan. The month of the Qur’an is the ninth month in the Islamic Hijri calendar since Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab, in a divine indication and wisdom that it is like a new annual birth for Muslims, just as birthdays or Christmas are. I have Christians
With a unique feature, especially in Ramadan, it is not linked to one season, summer or winter, or one of the four seasons of the year.
This is because the lunar Hijri calendar differs from the solar Gregorian calendar by 11 days annually.
And this is from the justice of God to His servants in the change of seasons in the same country
And the difference in fasting hours between the north and the south, in which fasting hours decrease while increasing as we head north, unlike Christmas in the West, which is always associated with winter ice and the legend of Santa Claus, about which a very remarkable statement came out from Pope Francis V, the wise of Rome, the head of the Catholic Church,
that she is not Christian at all,
And that it is just a culturally inherited tradition since the days of the Romans, and just a season of commercial vogue with other well-known holidays (such as Valentine's Day) that were invented throughout the year.
There is a difference in the timing of the birthday of Jesus Christ among the Catholic West at the end of the year 12/25
As for the East, Egypt, Russia, Greece, and the doctrine of the Orthodox Christians of the East, it is at the beginning of the year 1/7, due to the different Christian sects among them.
So that Christ remains the only person who has a calendar for his birth and the world celebrates it annually
As for the fasting hours in Ramadan, they increase in summer for the length of the day before the call to prayer for sunset and the iftar cannon, and decrease in the winter for the length of the night for the suhoor before the onset of dawn.
And the beginning of the intention to start fasting for the holy month, the fourth pillar in Islam, with the exemption from fasting for the child until puberty, the sick until recovery, the postpartum woman until she gives birth, the menstruating woman until she gives birth, the menstruating woman until she compensates for her days later, and for the traveler until he reaches his country of residence or the reason for the excuse or the license to break the fast is gone.
The beginning of the month of Ramadan is determined by the sighting and appearance of the crescent of the lunar month, which is a point of contention between Islamic countries due to the geographical divergence, and sometimes religious doctrine or “politics” interfere in determining the beginning of the blessed month of Ramadan.
And there was an Islamic satellite project to determine the new moons to unify the beginnings of the months and holidays of the Hijri calendar, which is officially approved only in Saudi Arabia and Iran.
We do not know yet what has been achieved in this important and vital matter for the Islamic Ummah, which unites all of them for Hajj in the month of Dhul-Hijjah, which is one of the sacred months in which war and fighting are forbidden with Dhul-Qi’dah and Rajab, and the month of Muharram is the beginning of the Hijri year, relative to the migration of our Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him, who is currently in (Yathrib) Madinah
Ramadan is the month of the Qur’an because the first Qur’an revealed to the angel Gabriel was a surah, read on Laylat al-Qadr.
It is an individual night in the last ten days of Ramadan. God distinguished it as the night of mercy and forgiveness, and it is better than a thousand months.
That is, more than the average human life span of more than 83 years
Fasting during the day in Ramadan is a training for endurance, determination and patience over hunger, thirst and lust, and getting rid of bad habits such as smoking, alcohol and drugs. Gambling clubs and dancing in hotels are closed and working hours are reduced.
However, shisha tents, raptures, Ramadan football tournaments, Rahman tables, and family invitations to break the fast flourish in order to restore the ties of kinship.
I also wrote an article about “decency tourism in Ramadan” by suspending beach tourism in the Red Sea out of respect for the sanctity of the holy month.
In the month of Ramadan, decorations and lights are lit with Ramadan lanterns, which witnesses the revolution of man against himself morally and behaviorally, so he becomes more patient and calm, less corrupt and neglectful, with a greater sense of the poor and the poor, and reconciliation with God and people in preparation for going to perform the Hajj pilgrimage to Umm Al-Qura, Makkah Al-Mukarramah, on the birthday of New for the Muslim upon his return with an accepted Hajj and a forgiven sin
As for praying during the night of Ramadan, it is the Tarawih prayer, the tahajjud prayer, i’tikaaf in mosques, especially in the last ten days, and the recitation of the Holy Qur’an and the lessons of knowledge.
The Tahajjud and Tarawih prayers in Ramadan began during the era of Umar ibn al-Khattab, the second caliph after Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, the best of the nation after our Prophet Muhammad. This means that it is not a prophetic Sunnah or an obligation, but it is desirable, of course, but it should not be exaggerated at the expense of the obligatory prayer.
Also in Ramadan, Umrah trips to Mecca and visiting the city of the Messenger and the Prophet’s Mosque increase, especially in the last ten days, which witness intense crowding closer to the crowding of the Hajj season, after the huge expansions currently underway for the Grand Mosque in Mecca to accommodate the increasing numbers of Muslims for pilgrims from within the Kingdom and from Muslims around the world at a ratio of 1000/1 Among the inhabitants of the countries of the Islamic world, who represent a quarter of the world’s population, are currently spread in 60 Islamic countries in the five continents of the world, and among the new Muslims from America, Europe, Africa and Asia, which are inhabited by nearly two-thirds of the world’s Muslims.
We have passed the 1083th anniversary of the founding of Al-Azhar Al-Sharif, a mosque and university
A beacon of legal sciences and Islamic jurisprudence
The stronghold of Sunni Muslims, 90% of the world's Muslims
The obligation of fasting is a worship of the One God that was with a different way of fasting in the religions that preceded Islam, which is distinguished from it as the only religion perhaps in the world that commands its Muslim followers to wash for ablution for prayer five times a day with Friday washing and after sexual intercourse or even a wet dream, despite its appearance in The Arabian Peninsula is in an arid desert environment devoid of rain or rivers and seas, which is another divine wisdom to pay attention to body hygiene.

With the purification of the soul and the soul through prayer, zakat, fasting and pilgrimage, the five pillars of Islam with the testimony of the oneness of God and our Prophet Muhammad with the message.
The month of Ramadan is also the month of conquest and victories in the history of the Arabs and Muslims. In it was the conquest of Mecca, before that was the Battle of Badr, and after that was the conquest of Andalusia (Spain), and in it the conquest of Al-Mu’tasim Amuriyah in the Levant from the Romans, in response to the famous cry of the Arab woman (and Mu’tasimah), and in it also a victory Egypt's army against the Mongol-Tatars in the battle of Ain Jalut.
And recently, the victory of the Arabs on the 10th of Ramadan, the sixth of October 1973, over the Jewish state, Israel, the agent of the new occupation in Jerusalem, the heart of the Arabs and Islam, the third of the Two Holy Mosques, and the country of Isra and Mi’raj, the path of our Prophet Muhammad, the last of the prophets and messengers.
We are able to change for the better in Ramadan, but after it we return to the worst because we do not want reform..!
We know and eat the food of the flesh
But what is soul food?
Certainty, worshiping God, conscience, reading, sports and tourism, as well as fine arts of all kinds
This year, Egyptians fasting together, Muslims and Christians, will also fast from February 20 to April 19, and celebrate the glorious Resurrection Day.
While Ramadan fasting ends on April 22, the first day of Eid Al-Fitr
Happy new year to the Egyptians
We fast and know when to break our fast
While there are fasting people, but they do not know and do not find anything to break their fast with
Yes, our Lord, we have a lot, so do not skimp on the needy in the month of giving, Ramadan Kareem, and we must also be generous.
Our Prophet Muhammad, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, is the last of the prophets and messengers, but God’s messages to mankind continue until the end of the world
Corona epidemic and the high cost is one of them
Consider, O men of understanding
Enough unjustly. Repent to God
Special question for atheists. You have disbelieved and denied the existence of God because you do not see Him with your own eyes, according to your claim
How did you die of fear from the invisible Corona virus?
And what about your souls that you do not see and do not know the secret of your life on earth
We are always associated with the sky, for example the movement of the sun determines the times of the five daily prayers for Muslims every day according to your geographical location .. and the moon determines the beginning of our lunar calendar and the beginning of fasting in the month of Ramadan and the days of Hajj
And above everyone in the seven heavens, a kind, merciful, merciful, Hearing God who hears our prayers and provides us with rain for the fertility of the land and its development for agriculture to pay zakat, the fourth pillar of Islam, which means that we are always connected to the sky that manages our daily lives until the end of our life and death.
It only remains for us to testify that there is no god but God and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God
