Welcome Ya Ramadhan


Muslims around the world are welcoming Ramadhan 1426 H. The month is a very important part of every Muslim's life. Ramadhan is the month of giving and mercy, and during this month Allah blesses the Muslims with forgiveness and great reward.

Ramadhan reminds me to a book under title: Ramadhan Motivating Beleivers to Action: An Interfaith Perspective. According to this book, Ramadan is not just a month of fasting, but a month of spiritual healing.

Presented from an interfaith perspective as a means to motivate believers to action, the articles by such famous writers as Muhammad al-Ghazzali, Shaykh Abdul Qadir Gilani, Imam Jawziyya, Ibn Sirin, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Maulana Mawdudi and Laleh Bakhtiar include essays on both the Law and the Way. They are divided into the traditional threefold method of spiritual healing, namely, knowledge, inner processing and action. This method produces the seven characteristics of devotees as Goal-setters and Believers (knowledge, cognition, and Theo ethics), Strategists, Moral Healers, Energizers and Human Bonding and Masters Communicators.
