Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Dhaka City North Ameer and member of central executive council Mohammad Selim Uddin urged the city dwellers to make a strong protest against injustice, untruth and oppression including self-formation by using the teachings of Ramadan, a month of blessings, mercy and redemption from the punishment of Hell and also the month of self-purification and attaining Takwa (fear to Allah).
He today said these issuing a message of greetings to the city dwellers on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan.
“Undoubtedly, Ramadan is the best month of the Arabic year. Allah (SW) has revealed the Holy Quran in this month,” Selim Uddin added.
Then City Ameer quoted the verse from the Holy Quran and also narrated a Hadith from Hadith-e-Qudsi. Allah (SW) says in the Holy Quran, ‘The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Quran, 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 Ramadan i.e. is present at his home), he must observe Saum (fasts) that month.” It is said in Hadith Qudsi, Allah (SW) says, “All the deeds of a servant are for himself; but only fasting is for Me. So I (Allah) will repay it with My own hands.”
“The month of Ramadan is also called the moth of Quran revelation. The Muslim Ummah should be studied and researched The Holy Quran more and more in this month. They should be followed the rules of The Holy Quran in their practical life. Gabriel (A.S.) could study The Holy Quran with Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in this month. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) made Gabriel (A.S) recite the full Quran twice in the year of His death. Prophet (pbuh) donated more and more in the month of Ramadan. So, every Muslim should donate more and more in this month so that they can attain the satisfaction of Alllah,” added Selim Uddin.
He urged all to work together to establish a Zakat and non- usury based society instead of usury for the welfare of the endangered people. Jamaat leader also called forth the activists of Islamic movement to work together for the emancipation from the economic shackle of mass people.
“Many countries of the world have decreased the prices of daily essentials on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan but inflation has been occurred in our country before coming Ramadan. Ministry of Commerce and Directorate of National Consumers Right Protection have totally been failed to control the price hike of daily necessaries in the market. The supporters of government have an intimacy with syndicators as a result the government could not control price hike,” he further added.
Government should be taken necessary steps to control price hike immediately. Necessary actions should be taken to stop all types of obscenity, filthiness to ensure the sacredness of the holy month of Ramadan.
The holy month of Ramadan is the month of mercy and prayer acceptance. Saum (fasts) has been made mandatory for us.
Allah says, “O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious).”
“Therefore, every Muslim should fulfill the right of the month of Ramadhan properly by attaining self-purification and Takwa (fear to Allah to achieve the welfare of this time and the emancipation of the Hereafter,” he again added.
He welcomed the holy month of Ramadan and greeted the city dwellers on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadan.
