happiness of heart and soul in ramadan

Congratulations to the Islamic nation on the advent of the holy month of Ramadan

Allah has prescribed fasting for all the previous communities even if it was different in the way and the time of accomplishing it. Allah says:
(183) O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous -
Meaning of the verse:
﴾O believers! You have been prescribed As-Siyam [fasting] as It was prescribed for those who preceded you, so you will attain piety ﴿ [s. Al-Baqara (the Cow): c. 183]

From the second year of the Hegira, Allah definitively prescribed the fasting of the month of Ramadan to humanity. It is an obligation for the adult Muslim. He must do it if he is a resident and not sick. In case he is ill, he is allowed to perform it later. This also applies to women who have given birth or are menstruating. Not sick and traveling, the adult Muslim has the choice of doing it during this month or postponing it to a later period. Allah has prescribed the fasting of the month of Ramadan from its beginning to its end. Its beginning is clearly fixed by the ocular vision of the lunar crescent of the month of Ramadân, or to complete the month of Sha‘bân (thirty days).

Allah has also determined the beginning of the day of fasting and its end by clearly specified limits,

Fasting during Ramadan means abstinence from all food or drink, including water and chewing gum, from dawn to sunset

They were in schools teaching them all religions except the Islamic religion, so she decided to research on her own and announced her Islam

The Islamic religion is easy and not difficult
Muslims living in places where the sun never rises for MONTHS.

the prophet informs us that we should not follow the movement of the sun, but calculate the time as for normal regions
they can fast for Ramadan by following the sunrise and sunset times in Mecca.
The same applies to prayer times.

Some scholars say that in this case one should follow the timetables of Mecca or Medina, land of Revelation, while others suggest following the nearest "normal" region.
This applies to all obligations: the fulfillment of prayers, the payment of zakat and ramadan etc.
for the direction of the qibla, it is enough to have a compass ... not too complicated

Staying hungry and thirsty for an entire day is a powerful reminder of the millions of people around the world who experience this. Ramadan emphasizes the values of empathy and generosity. It is a time to think of those who are less fortunate than us and who do not have food and clean water all year round, to understand the suffering and pain of the poor and needy.

Allah tells us "(8) And they give food in spite of love for it[1813] to the needy, the orphan, and the captive,:" (Al-Insâne, quran 76/8)
It is therefore our duty to feed the fasters in the world, to take care of the sick, to provide for the needs of orphans and families affected by conflicts. Ramadan gives us a greater sense of responsibility towards others.
Ramadan, a test for some
Ramadan is a joyful time for most of us, but sadly not for everyone. Entire families under the yoke of hunger, thirst and disease are waiting for an outstretched hand that would allow them to take full advantage of this sacred month.

I am diabetic. Is it permissible to get an Insulin injection during fasting if it is absolutely necessary, Thank you.
Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

Being injected with a nutritious product (food or drink) invalidates Fasting. If the injection is for treatment, it is more likely that it does not nullify fasting as it does not go against the wisdom behind fasting and the characteristics of things that annul fasting do not apply to it.

So, insulin injection does not nullify fasting even if injected without any apparent necessity.

It is permissible to receive medical treatment in the form of an injection into a muscle or vein, for one who is fasting during the day in Ramadan, but it is not permissible for the fasting person to be given a nutritional injection during the day in Ramadan, because that comes under the same ruling as eating and drinking, and using such injections is regarded as a trick or loophole. If it is possible to give the injection into the muscle or vein at night, that is preferable

There is no god but Allah (La ilaha ila Allah) is the word of fidelity and oneness. It is the first word that all messengers called. And the first word the prophet (saw) asked his people to say. The meaning of “laa ilaahah illa allah” is that nothing worshipped is worthy of worship except Allah.

It is simultaneously a denial and affirmation. There is no god“laa ilaahah” is denial of all worship other than that of Allah.

But Allah “illa allaah” is affirmation that all worship is for Allah alone without partners. As Allah said in Quran:

“That is because Allah - He is the Reality; and those besides Him whom they invoke,- they are but vain Falsehood: verily Allah is He, Most High, Most Great. ( hajj 62). It is one of the pillar of Islam. “


Islam is not just another religion. It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:

“Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.” (Quran 112:1-4)[4]

Fasting during the month of Ramadan can be good for your health if it’s done correctly. When the body is starved of food, it starts to burn fat so that it can make energy. This can lead to weight loss. However, if you fast for too long your body will eventually start breaking down muscle protein for energy, which is unhealthy.

Dr Razeen Mahroof, an anaesthetist from Oxford, says there's a strong relationship between diet and health.

“Ramadan isn’t always thought of as being an opportunity to lose weight because the spiritual aspect is emphasised more generally than the health aspect," he says. "However, it’s a great chance to get the physical benefits as well.”

Source of energy during a fast
The changes that happen in the body during a fast depend on the length of the continuous fast. The body enters into a fasting state eight hours or so after the last meal, when the gut finishes absorbing nutrients from the food.

In the normal state, body glucose, which is stored in the liver and muscles, is the body’s main source of energy. During a fast, this store of glucose is used up first to provide energy. Later in the fast, once the glucose runs out, fat becomes the next source of energy for the body.

With a prolonged fast of many days or weeks, the body starts using protein for energy.

This is the technical description of what is commonly known as "starvation". It is clearly unhealthy and involves protein being released by the breakdown of muscle, which is why people who starve look very thin and become extremely weak.

However, you are unlikely to reach the starvation stage during Ramadan, because the fast is broken daily.
Gentle transition from glucose to fat
As the Ramadan fast only lasts from dawn till dusk, the body's energy can be replaced in the pre-dawn and dusk meals.
This provides a gentle transition from using glucose as the main source of energy, to using fat, and prevents the breakdown of muscle for protein.

Dr Mahroof says the use of fat for energy helps weight loss. It preserves the muscles and eventually reduces your cholesterol level. In addition, weight loss results in better control of diabetes and reduces blood pressure.

“A detoxification process also occurs, because any toxins stored in the body’s fat are dissolved and removed from the body,” says Dr Mahroof.

After a few days of the fast, higher levels of endorphins appear in the blood, making you more alert and giving an overall feeling of general mental wellbeing.

A balanced food and fluid intake is important between fasts. The kidneys are very efficient at maintaining the body’s water and salts, such as sodium and potassium. However, these can be lost through perspiration.

To prevent muscle breakdown, meals must contain enough energy food, such as carbohydrates and some fat.
“The way to approach your diet during fasting is similar to the way you should be eating outside Ramadan," says Dr Mahroof. "You should have a balanced diet, with the right proportion of carbs, fat and protein.”

Ramadan is a very special month for the Muslims, as in it Muslims around the world perform various types of worship, the most important of them being fasting. This fasting of Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam, mandatory upon all adolescents and adults who have the ability. Ramadan is also the month in which the first revelation came to the Prophet Muhammad, and thus is called the “Month of the Quran”.


God says in the Quran:
“Fasting has been prescribed for you as it has been prescribed for those before you in order that you become of the God-conscious.” (Quran 2:183)

During Ramadan, Muslims try to adhere to three types of worship - three of the five pillars of the Islamic faith.

The first is Sawm, ie fasting. Throughout the month, most Muslims refrain from eating or drinking between dawn and sunset.

The second is Zakat, which is charity - they are encouraged to give 2.5% of their annual income during Ramadan.

The third is salat, which is to pray. Muslims are encouraged to pray five times a day. Traditionally, many also attend additional communal prayers, called Taraweeh, which take place every evening.

Muslims are also encouraged to read the entire Quran during the month of Ramadan. This is a time of spiritual concentration and deep contemplation.

Why do Muslims fast?
The first fast is believed to have taken place in 624 CE, when the Prophet Muhammad persuaded the people of Medina to give up their food and donate it to the starving worshipers who followed him from Mecca.

The reasons for fasting are many. It is seen as a way to come closer and focus more clearly on one's relationship with God. It is a reminder of one's dependence on God for sustenance and - by experiencing hunger and thirst - a way to feel more compassionate towards those in need.

Fasting is also seen as a way to learn discipline and patience and to break bad habits, and some also see it as a way to cleanse the body of impurities.

How and when does fasting take place?
Observant Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. This means that they must refrain from eating, drinking (including water), smoking and having sex during the day, which is particularly difficult if Ramadan takes place in the spring, when the days are longer.

You have to wake up early in the morning to stock up on food and water at the dawn meal called suhoor, and eat nothing for 16 hours. After the sun goes down, Muslims traditionally break their fast with friends and family at a ceremonial meal called iftar.

I can attest that everything above said about fasting is true from my experience.
