Ramadan

From man to monkey

Friday is a special day for the Ummah of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). This day was Saturday for the madness of Hazrat Dawood (A.S.). Their fishing was prohibited on Saturday. On that day, sea fish used to come to the shore. No other day of the week would have been like this. Fishermen found that they could catch several times more fish on Saturday than they had caught all week. But fishing is prohibited on Saturday. Any one of them caught fishing should be punished.

The fishermen found a way. They dug a hole on the edge of the sea. The fish will get stuck in that hole. They did not catch fish on Saturday but went the next day to bring the fish. No one can tell them anymore that they fished on Saturday. On the other hand, they could make up for the loss caused by being deprived of fishing on Saturday, the next day.

The Jews thus defied God’s law. They maneuvered. But Allah is All-Knowing.

Some people understood the ploy of the fishermen. They allowed them to do so. But, the fishermen did not listen to their words, hoping for more profit.

There was a third group, they did not hunt fish by trickery. But those who understood the fishermen, asked them, what is the use of understanding them? They will not understand. If they deserve to be punished, they will be punished.

The Jews of the time of Dawud (AS) were divided into these three groups based on fishing. 1. Fishermen flouting the Saturday ban. 2. Good mentors for anglers. 3. Those who did not fish on Saturdays, and those who did, did not comply.

When the first group did not understand despite this explanation, Allah sent punishment on them. The second group escaped Allah’s punishment, those who forbade wrongdoing.

 

In the Qur’an, ‘Ask about them the inhabitants of the seashore, they used to transgress on the Sabbath. On Saturday—the day of observance, the fish would come to them on the water, but on the day they did not observe the Sabbath, they would not come to them. Thus did I test those who forsook the truth. And when some of them said, Those whom Allah will destroy or punish severely, why do you advise them (in vain)? They said, Out of duty to your Lord, and that they might fear Him. When they forgot the admonition that was given to them, I rescued those who kept themselves away from evil deeds. And those who transgressed and abandoned the truth, I punished severely. When they indulged in forbidden acts, I said to them, ‘Be abominable monkeys.’ (Surat A’raf, Verses 163-166)

Uzbeks celebrate Ramadan

Uzbekistan is a Muslim country in Central Asia. An independent country full of history, tradition and natural beauty. It is the birthplace of thousands of world famous Muslim thinkers including Imam Bukhari and Imam Tirmidhi (RA). Islam is traditionally present in the country’s culture.

On the day of fasting, religious festivals and excitement begin all over Uzbekistan. The mosques were washed anew. The city’s mosques are decorated with new fabrics, richly colored carpets and beautiful calligraphy. There are various scented perfumes. Uzbeks usually read Khatme Tarabi and emphasize Khatme Tarabi. Khatma Tarabi is usually performed in cities and major mosques. However, Surah Tarabi is also recited in relatively small mosques and homes. There is also a system of tarabi of two khatams in many places of the city.

A kind of competition can be observed among Uzbeks over Iftar. There is a competition between them on how to decorate the iftar table. Their Iftar events are held at home and also on the streets together with the festival. Uzbeks consider the moment of iftar a celebration.

What is Qaza, Kaffara and Fidya of fasting?

If you break your fast due to some compulsion, you have to make up for it later. Qaza is a fast instead of fast. Qaza fasts can be observed later at convenient times, it is not necessary to observe all Qaza fasts together.

It is in the Qur’an, ‘For certain days. If one of you is sick or on a trip, A-number should be filled at another time. And it is the duty of a person who finds it difficult to fast to give food to a needy person. Yet if one does good deeds at his own pleasure, it is very beneficial for him. And if you could understand, fasting is better for you. (Surah Baqarah, verse 184)

If you break the fast without any excuse due to some kind of satanic deception or temptation of the soul, you have to perform both Qaza and Kaffarah for it.

atonement

Kaffarah is a Shariah-specific penalty for forgiveness from a sin or crime. In Islamic terminology, Kaffara is the name of financial or physical compensation for the purpose of repentance after some criminal act.

Kaffara can be paid in three ways if you break the fast of Ramadan

  1. To free a slave
  2. And if unable to feed 60 poor people well for two meals with satisfaction
  3. Fasting continuously for 60 days
