Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami central executive council member and Dhaka city north unit’s Ameer Mohammad Selim asserts, “Ramadan is the best month in Arabic calendar. Allah (SW) has revealed the holy Quran in this month.”
It (Ramadan) is the month, whose beginning is mercy, its middle, forgiveness and its end, emancipation from the fire (of hell), city Ameer adds.
Later, city Ameer refers to a verse from the holy Quran where Allah says, “Ramaḍân is the month in which the Quran was revealed as a guide for humanity with clear proofs of guidance and the decisive authority. So whoever is present this month, let them fast.”
Selim Uddin also mentions a Hadith Qudsi (A Sacred Hadith) where Almighty Allah says, “All the deeds of the servant are for himself; But only fasting is for Me. So, I will repay it with My own hands.”
Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) says about the importance of Ramadan, “Whoever has full faith in Allah and fasts in the hope of reward during the month of Ramadan, Allah will forgive all his sins.” (Sahih Al Bukhari, Hadith-2014).
Selim Uddin demands to the incumbent interim government the preservation of the sanctity of the holy month of Ramadan, control of commodity prices immediately. Actions must be taken to shut down hotels and restaurants during daytime as well as to present all forms of instability, obscenity, and shamelessness.
Selim Uddin extends his heartfelt wishes to all citizens of the city for a blessed and joyous Ramadan! Ramadan Kareem!
