THE BLESSED MONTH OF FASTING.

Time to purify and train body and soul.

FASTING

HALAL SEXUAL ACTIVITY ON DAY TIME.

DRINKS SMOKING FOODS

Fasting means abstinence

To Stop Eating, drinking, smoking and sexual activity

from dawn until dusk.

NIYAT

As for the supererogatory Sawm, it is permissible to form the intention to fast at daytime, if the person

has not eaten, drunk, or had conjugal intercourse since Fajr.

This is because it is authentically reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him), on the authority of ‘Aishah

(may Allah be pleased with her), that

he (peace be upon him) came to her one day at forenoon and said: ‘Do you have anything (any food)?’

She said, ‘No.’ He (peace be upon him) said, ‘Then I am fasting.’

FAMILY HALAQA

Schedule in a family Halaqa:

Ramadan is the perfect time for the family to bond and grow in Imaan together. The

devils are locked up and everybody is more spiritual. This spirituality needs to be

nurtured so that we can benefit from it after Ramadan. One way to do this is to

establish a family Halaqa (study circle). Read a chapter of an Islamic book (or listen to

a lecture) then discuss its contents with each other. Continue this even after

Ramadan.
