Almighty Allah has given great importance to the month of Ramadan compared to other months. Allah says to the Muslim believing servants 'O believers!

Compared to other months, the worship and blessings of the month of Ramadan have been increased by seventy percent. 360 doors of mercy are opened in this holy month.

There is now a silent war going on all over the world in the global pandemic situation. In such a turbulent time, we Muslims are facing the holy month of Ramadan for the 3rd time. In 2020, after 4 months of corona pandemic situation, the month of fasting for Muslims started the holy Ramadan. In rural townships terrorized by Covid-19, housebound unemployed masses lamented extreme food shortages.

In times of crisis, donating aid should be done quietly and secretly, keeping a distance. Allah prefers charity in secret.

There can be no other reward like giving food to the mouths of poor and helpless people. There is also extreme joy in it. Our small donation can bring a smile to others' faces. This donation should not hurt the human values ​​of people. You have to keep an eye on that. If a person fasts by eating this donated food, it will be accepted by the Lord in a small way. Allah says, "If you give openly, how much better it is, and if you do it secretly and give to the needy, it is better for you" (Surah Baqarah: 271).

The Beloved Prophet (PBUH) said: “Whoever makes a fasting person break his fast, he will get the same amount of reward as the fasting person; Not a bit will be reduced from the reward of the fasting person. (Sunan Tirmidhi) Elder Pir Abdul Quader Jilani said, the reward and dignity of feeding people, if I had the wealth of this world, I would distribute it among people. The fasting month of Ramadan is a great favor of Allah for the servant. Fasting prescribed by Allah is much higher than all other fasts. The holy month of Ramadan is the best month to exchange love with Allah Almighty. The virtues and dignity of this month are manifold. It is a month of patience, sacrifice, tribulation, testing, compassion and pleasing the Lord. Soap, hand sanitizer should be kept regularly in mosque washrooms in case of infection.
