The month of Ramadan is one of the most significant months in the Islamic Hijri calendar and holds a special place among Muslims worldwide. During this month, Muslims observe the obligation of fasting, one of the five pillars of Islam, by abstaining from food, drink, and all invalidators of fasting from dawn until sunset.
Ramadan represents an important opportunity for self-purification and strengthening one’s spiritual connection with Allah. Many Muslims devote themselves to frequent recitation of the Quran, supplication, and charitable deeds. One of the most prominent rituals of Ramadan is the Taraweeh prayer, performed in congregation at mosques after the night prayer, during which long passages of the Quran are recited.
The days of Ramadan are marked by a unique spiritual and familial atmosphere. Families gather daily around the Iftar table, where a variety of traditional dishes are served, differing from one Arab country to another. Suhoor, the pre-dawn meal, is also considered essential as it helps the fasting person endure the challenges of the day.
The month concludes with the arrival of Eid al-Fitr, a joyful occasion of celebration, manifested through performing the Eid prayer, exchanging greetings, and visiting family members. Ramadan can thus be regarded as a school of patience, piety, and the cultivation of noble values and morals in people’s hearts.
يُعَدُّ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ مِنْ أَبْرَزِ الشُّهُورِ فِي التَّقْوِيمِ الهِجْرِيِّ، وَيَكْتَسِبُ مَكَانَةً خَاصَّةً بَيْنَ المُسْلِمِينَ عَبْرَ العَالَمِ. فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ، يَلْتَزِمُ المُسْلِمُونَ بِأَدَاءِ رُكْنِ الصِّيَامِ، وَهُوَ أَحَدُ أَرْكَانِ الإِسْلَامِ، حَيْثُ يَمْتَنِعُ الفَرْدُ عَنْ تَنَاوُلِ الطَّعَامِ وَالشَّرَابِ وَكَافَّةِ المُفْطِرَاتِ مِنْ طُلُوعِ الفَجْرِ حَتَّى غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ.
وَيُمَثِّلُ رَمَضَانُ فُرْصَةً مُهِمَّةً لِتَزْكِيَةِ النَّفْسِ وَتَعْزِيزِ العَلَاقَةِ الرُّوحِيَّةِ مَعَ اللهِ؛ إِذْ يَحْرِصُ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ المُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى كَثْرَةِ تِلَاوَةِ القُرْآنِ وَالدُّعَاءِ، بِالإِضَافَةِ إِلَى المُبَادَرَةِ بِالأَعْمَالِ الخَيْرِيَّةِ. وَتُعَدُّ صَلَاةُ التَّرَاوِيحِ مِنْ أَبْرَزِ الطُّقُوسِ الرَّمَضَانِيَّةِ، حَيْثُ تُقَامُ جَمَاعَةً فِي المَسَاجِدِ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ العِشَاءِ، وَيَتَخَلَّلُهَا تِلَاوَةٌ مُطَوَّلَةٌ لِلْقُرْآنِ الكَرِيمِ.
وَتَتَّسِمُ أَيَّامُ رَمَضَانَ بِجَوٍّ رُوحَانِيٍّ وَأُسْرِيٍّ فَرِيدٍ؛ إِذْ تَجْتَمِعُ الأُسَرُ يَوْمِيًّا حَوْلَ مَائِدَةِ الإِفْطَارِ، حَيْثُ تُقَدَّمُ أَطْبَاقٌ تَقْلِيدِيَّةٌ مُتَنَوِّعَةٌ تَخْتَلِفُ مِنْ بَلَدٍ عَرَبِيٍّ إِلَى آخَرَ. كَمَا يُعَدُّ السُّحُورُ وَجْبَةً أَسَاسِيَّةً قُبَيْلَ الفَجْرِ، تُـمَكِّنُ الصَّائِمَ مِنْ تَحَمُّلِ مَشَاقِّ اليَوْمِ.
وَيُخْتَتَمُ الشَّهْرُ بِحُلُولِ عِيدِ الفِطْرِ، وَهُوَ مُنَاسَبَةٌ لِلْفَرَحِ وَالسُّرُورِ، تَتَجَلَّى فِيهَا مَظَاهِرُ الاحْتِفَالِ مِنْ خِلَالِ أَدَاءِ صَلَاةِ العِيدِ وَتَبَادُلِ التَّهَانِي وَالزِّيَارَاتِ العَائِلِيَّةِ. وَيُمْكِنُ اعْتِبَارُ رَمَضَانَ مَدْرَسَةً فِي الصَّبْرِ وَالتَّقْوَى وَغَرْسِ القِيَمِ وَالأَخْلَاقِ الفَاضِلَةِ فِي النُّفُوسِ.
