Holy Month of Ramadhan sub-forum

[benben]

The Holy Month of Ramadhan is a month of reflection, self-refinement and worship. In the modern-world marked by its endless and exclusive attention to material needs, little or no thought is spared to the higher needs of human beings. Islam on the other hand, has made the conciousness and attainment of these higher needs the very emblem of perfection for both individual and society. The month of Ramadhan is that unique period during the year in which Muslims are not only trained to abstain from material pleasures; but are also called on to attend to the higher and loftier needs to which they ought to aspire. According to a famous pronouncement by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s), believers are invited to a Divine Invitation during this month and are selected to be the recipients of His special favours. It is indeed the month of Mercy; a month in which, hearts are nourished with the righteous attributes and society is reminded of its obligations to ensure social equity and pursuit of Divine values. During this Holy Month, AIM is pleased to present a collection of supplications and treatises emphasizing the need for spirituality and ethical refinement for both individual and society.


"Indeed ahead of you is the blessed month of Allah. A month of blessing, mercy and forgiveness. A month which with Allah is the best of months. Its days, the best of days, its nights, the best of nights, and its hours, the best of hours. It is the month which invites you to be the guests of Allah and invites you to be one of those near to Him."

Imam Al-Baqir (a): "Everything has a spring and the spring of the Qur'an is the Holy Month of Ramadan." The Holy Month of Ramadhan is a special time when Muslims all across the world get closer to the foundational document and cornerstone of their faith; the Holy Qur'an. To Muslims the Holy Qur'an is the very Divine Word revealed by God to the most perfect man, Prophet Muhammad (s). It is the eternal miracle and bearer of guidance and truth for all times. During this Holy Month, we are pleased to present a collection of videos of the most famous recitors from across the Muslims world reciting the Holy Qur'an.
