Q & A

Why is Ramadan such a special month for Muslims?

Ramadan is a special month because it is a time for spiritual reflection, self-discipline, worship, and closeness to Allah. It is a time to purify the soul, control desires, and increase devotion through fasting, prayer, and charity.

What is the importance of intention (niyyah) in fasting during Ramadan?

Intention (niyyah) is crucial because every act of worship in Islam requires a clear intention to ensure its validity. For fasting in Ramadan, the intention should be made with sincerity, either for the entire month or every night, depending on the madhhab followed.

How does Imam Abu Hanifah's approach to intention in Ramadan differ from Imam Syafi'i's?

Imam Abu Hanifah's approach allows for a single intention to be made on the night of the 1st of Ramadan, which remains valid for the entire month. Imam Syafi'i, however, requires a new intention to be made each night, ideally after Isha or before Fajr.

What should Muslims do if they forget to make the intention for fasting at night?

If someone forgets to make the intention for fasting at night, following Imam Abu Hanifah's method ensures the fast remains valid. However, it is still encouraged to make the intention every night as per Imam Syafi'i’s teachings.

Why is it important to teach children and family members about making the intention for fasting?

Teaching children and family members about the importance of intention ensures that they understand the foundation of worship and can begin their Ramadan observance correctly, which will help them develop spiritual discipline from a young age.

Purifying the heart involves removing negative emotions such as grudges, anger, jealousy, and hatred. It is essential to focus on developing good character, showing kindness, forgiving others, and seeking forgiveness from Allah.

Avoiding sins and distractions, such as gossip, lying, and watching inappropriate content, is vital because such actions can diminish the reward of fasting. Fasting is not just about abstaining from food and drink but also about controlling one's actions and thoughts.

Why is it recommended to perform extra prayers (Sunnah) during Ramadan?

What are the benefits of eating Sahur during Ramadan?
