RAMAZAN CAN MAKE WORLD SAFER,    

     PEOPLE GOOD & RESPONSIBLE

BY JAVED ZAHEER, FREE EXPRESSION AWARD WINNER

TORONTO: Millions of dollars are spent on making the community, society and system good and for their proper maintenance and improvement.  This is done to make the people and country strong, stable and prosperous in all respect.

For this purpose, we need, search for, find, promote and support competent and capable persons of good nature, character, understanding and actions---who are sincere, honest, responsible, committed, dedicated, helpful, loving, caring and so on. They practically serve the people and help them achieve the aims and objectives.      

            Those countries blessed with good people, leadership, society and system are indeed heavens on earth and dreamlands. People feel proud of becoming a part of them. Fortunately Canada and US are one of them and would remain so until they keep the society, system, people and country in really good shape. This indeed is a tremendous blessing of The Almighty God on Canada and all such countries.  

            Promotion, encouragement and support of bad people and wrong policies, evil, crime, cruelty, corruption and conspiracies--- in any shape or form would signal the downfall and destruction.  The bad and corrupt policymakers, rulers, leaders and people are mainly responsible for it. They are the ones who openly denied and challenged the truth and The Almighty God and were punished and destroyed by His anger and wrath. This is what we learn from the holy books and history.  God had to intervene most of the time to help the innocent and good people. Take the examples of Prophets Noah, Lut, Moses and Muhammad (PBUT).  

            Therefore, it is the duty and responsibility of all good leaders, policymakers and influential people, with the support of the common people, to ensure that this does not happen. They must always keep exposing and opposing the bad rulers and people, wrong and harmful policies and actions. Only this way we can protect the good people, society and system.

             Unfortunately, in most Muslim countries we see the people suffering badly and deprived of rights and real freedom. In the name of Allah, Muhammad (PBUH), Islam, Quran, Islamic laws and Muslim Ummah people are exploited, looted and harmed. This is why when opportunity comes they migrate or flee the country to escape the exploitation, corruption and cruelty. This is the result of lack of true leadership, good people, society and system. Unfortunately, this is the reality and fact.

            If Muslims including rulers, policymakers and people understand the real meaning and purpose of Ramazan then this would not happen. This is the duty of religious scholars also but unfortunately most of them are Professional Mullahs and in reality Dajjals (Devils) In Disguise. They are misleading, harming, exploiting and cheating the people. They are extremely powerful and dangerous MAFIA and actively busy in harming the Muslims and bringing bad name to Allah, Islam and Muslim. They are professional criminals and committed enemies of humanity and mankind. They do not allow the good religious scholars and persons to come forward and serve the common people.  Their motive mainly is to build mosques and madrassas, make massive money through the donation boxes and collections and run their business without any check or accountability.  

            Now the Mullah Mafia has become so powerful that they want to run the countries with  strong hold on the system and society. This situation is extremely dangerous for both the people and countries. This is not what Allah, Islam or Sharia teaches and must not be allowed.  

            This is why we must not blindly support any Mullah or religious scholar. The money should not go to wrong people or any MAFIA. It should reach the deserving ones and right people and used for right purpose.

            Mosque or madrassas are very sacred places where people not only go for worship but to become good and responsible as well. They are important pillars of the society and this is why these places should serve as community and social centres in order to educate and train people and create proper understanding and awareness.

            In order to make us good and responsible person, member of the family, community, society and system so that we emerge as good parents, leaders and rulers, The Almighty God has blessed us with Ramazan.  It is a one month refresher or training course for the people.  The training in the shape of fasting is to train us about self-restrain or how to ward off evil. This is what The Almighty tells us in the Holy Quran .The benefits are tremendous and the training based on the principle---Be Wise Revise. Let’s see what’s in the Holy Quran about Ramazan then judge its importance:

Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina):Verse 183: O ye who believe! fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you that ye may (learn) self-restraint.―Translation : Eng-Yusuf Ali (www.quranexplorer.com).

Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina) : Verse 183: O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, even as it was prescribed for those before you, that ye may ward off (evil):Translation: Eng-Pickthal.

Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina) :Verse 184: [Observing Saum (fasts)] for a fixed number of days, but if any of you is ill or on a journey, the same number (should be made up) from other days. And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. an old man), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a Miskîn (poor person) (for every day). But whoever does good of his own accord, it is better for him. And that you fast, is better for you if only you know.[]

Translation : Eng-Dr. Mohsin

          Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina):Verse 184: (Fasting) for a fixed number of days; but if any of you is ill or on a journey, the prescribed number (should be made up) from days later. For those who can do it (with hardship) is a ransom, the feeding of one that is indigent. But he that will give more of his own free-will―it is better for him, and it is better for you that ye fast, if ye only knew. Translation : Eng-Yusuf Ali

Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina): Verse 184: (Fast) a certain number of days; and (for) him who is sick among you, or on a journey, (the same) number of other days; and for those who can afford it there is a ransom: the feeding of a man in need - but whoso doeth good of his own accord, it is better for him: and that ye fast is better for you if ye did but know -

Translation : Eng-Pickthal

            Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina): Verse 185:The month of Ramadân in which was revealed the Qur'ân, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadân i.e. is present at his home), he must observe Saum (fasts) that month, and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Saum (fasts) must be made up] from other days. Allâh intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you. (He wants that you) must complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allâh [i.e. to say Takbîr (Allâhu-Akbar; Allâh is the Most Great) for having guided you so that you may be grateful to Him.[]: Translation : Eng-Dr. Mohsin

            Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina): Verse 185: The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind, and clear proofs of the guidance, and the Criterion (of right and wrong). And whosoever of you is present, let him fast the month, and whosoever of you is sick or on a journey, (let him fast the same) number of other days. Allah desireth for you ease; He desireth not hardship for you; and (He desireth) that ye should complete the period, and that ye should magnify Allah for having guided you, and that peradventure ye may be thankful. Translation : Eng-Pickthal

            Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina): Verse 185: Ramadan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an as a guide to mankind also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and wrong). So everyone of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spent it in fasting, but if anyone is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you He does not want to put you to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful. Translation : Eng-Yusuf Ali

            Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina):Verse 187: It is made lawful for you to have sexual relations with your wives on the night of As-Saum (the fasts). They are Lîbas [i.e. body cover, or screen, or Sakan, (i.e. you enjoy the pleasure of living with them - as in Verse 7:189) Tafsir At-Tabarî], for you and you are the same for them. Allâh knows that you used to deceive yourselves, so He turned to you (accepted your repentance) and forgave you. So now have sexual relations with them and seek that which Allâh has ordained for you (offspring), and eat and drink until the white thread (light) of dawn appears to you distinct from the black thread (darkness of night), then complete your Saum (fast) till the nightfall. And do not have sexual relations with them (your wives) while you are in I'tikâf (i.e. confining oneself in a mosque for prayers and invocations leaving the worldly activities) in the mosques. These are the limits (set) by Allâh, so approach them not. Thus does Allâh make clear His Ayât (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, revelations, verses, laws, legal and illegal things Allahs set limits orders.) to mankind that they may become Al- Muttaqun. Translation : Eng-Dr. Mohsin

            Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina):Verse 187: It is made lawful for you to go unto your wives on the night of the fast. They are raiment for you and ye are raiment for them. Allah is Aware that ye were deceiving yourselves in this respect and He hath turned in mercy toward you and relieved you. So hold intercourse with them and seek that which Allah hath ordained for you, and eat and drink until the white thread becometh distinct to you from the black thread of the dawn. Then strictly observe the fast till nightfall and touch them not, but be at your devotions in the mosques. These are the limits imposed by Allah, so approach them not. Thus Allah expoundeth His revelation to mankind that they may ward off (evil). Translation : Eng-Pickthal

            Sura 2 - Al-Baqara (Madina):Verse 187: Permitted to you on the night of the fasts, is the approach to your wives. They are your garments. And ye are their garments. Allah knoweth what ye used to do secretly among yourselves; but He turned to you and forgave you; so now associate with them, and seek what Allah hath ordained for you and eat and drink, until the white thread of dawn appear to you distinct from its black thread; then complete your fast till the night appears; but do not associate with your wives while ye are in retreat in the mosques. Those are limits (set by) Allah; approach not nigh thereto. Thus doth Allah make clear His signs to men that they may learn self-restraint. Translation : Eng-Yusuf Ali

            Sura 3 - Al-E-Imran (Madina):Verse 103: And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allâh (i.e. this Qur'ân), and be not divided among yourselves[], and remember Allâh's Favour on you, for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together, so that, by His Grace, you became brethren (in Islâmic Faith), and you were on the brink of a pit of Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus Allâh makes His Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.,) clear to you, that you may be guided.

Translation : Eng-Dr. Mohsin.

            Even during the month of Ramazan The Almighty God, Who knows human nature and needs, allows the married people to enjoy the taste and pleasure of sex. This is because sex is the food of soul, good for the body and mind and source of reproduction.  Many couples with extremist and conservative mindset and under the influences of the professional mullahs consider it bad and sin.  The Almighty God is not cruel and loves us very much and cares. Why would He deprive us from this wonderful pleasure, taste, activity and benefit? Allâh intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you.  Mullah is after your blood and money. 

Christians, Muslims and Jews all are Believers and blessed with holy books and prophets.  They all belong to the same category and must live and work together to serve humanity in reality.  This is what Sura 3 - Al-E-Imran (Madina):Verse 103 tells us.  It is only a matter of understanding and we need to create proper awareness.  The hatred, confusion and misunderstanding is being created and spread by people with vested interests and nefarious designs. They are the ones who belong to the extremely dangerous mafia and are committed enemies of mankind. We can never expect any good from them. This we must understand.

             How can anyone even think of and call Muslim or any Believer a terrorist or criminal? Why would The Almighty God, Who teaches and preaches self-restraint and how to ward off evil, tell the Believers to become a criminal and terrorist and destroy mankind. This is all propaganda and bullshit. It is only the product of evil, criminal and sick minds. 

            The holy month of Ramazan has been blessed to us so that we keep preparing, training and protecting ourselves, all people, society, system and the country from all such DAJJALS (DEVILS).  This is the essence of Ramazan.        Unfortunately, influenced by the Evil and Illiterate Mullahs, we have made Ramazan a part and parcel of the food and kitchen only. Instead of preparing and training ourselves in the real sense our focus remains mostly on food).The focus on food only kills the purpose of Ramazan and makes the people sick instead of healthy. Let’s understand, implement and observe Ramazan in the real sense. We need to train and prepare ourselves for today and tomorrow. Ramazan is a great blessing meant to make the world safer and better and people good and responsible in the real sense.
