Drinks in Ramdan
Milk shakes:
Usually milk shake is associated with the mango because people like to drink mango milk shake very much. Mango shake is very tasteful but you should not drink it more than once a day because it is not healthy. Except mango, you can drink the date’s shake that is very healthy and full of energy.

Milk:
No other liquid is better than milk especially for “Sehri”. It not only provides you the calories but also gives you calcium. If you don’t like milk then you can mix Ovaltien in it, which is available in many flavors or you can add saffron in milk to get a different taste.

Strawberry juice:
Strawberry drink is best for summers and Ramadan as well because it is a rich source of energy and it provides calories to the body so you can consider this tasty drink for Sehri and Aftari.

Tea or coffee:
Most of the people are habitual of drinking hot drinks like coffee and tea, which is not healthy because these drinks increase you thirst. Ice tea or ice coffee is better than tea and coffee; best for Ramadan.

Water:
Nobody can deny the importance of water as it is important to not only quench the thirst but also needed by the human body for proper functioning of internal systems. In Ramadan, you should drink 3 – 4 glasses of water in Sehri and 4-5 glasses in Aftari to meet the body requirements.

skin care in Ramdan
Dehydration is the most common threat that is associated to the summer season. Due to dehydration, the skin becomes dull and faint. On the top of it, when you are fasting, you cannot take the amount of liquid that you would usually take during the day to keep you hydrated. Your meal times also change during this month, making your skin prone to many diet related hazards, which also affect the quality of your skin.
Following are the some skin care tips for the Holy month of Ramadan.
- Diet is very important because it has direct effect on the skin. Avoid eating oily and spicy food items because these can turn your skin oily and result in the outgrowth of pimples, acne and skin rashes.
- Eat a good amount of fresh vegetables and fruits in sehri and iftaar to provide essential nutrients to the skin.
- Protect yourself and your skin from the harmful effects of the dehydration; drink a lot of liquids between iftaar and sehri.
- If your skin is dry then you should do cleansing and toning regularly.
- Women with oily skin should not use oily creams and lotions in Ramadan.
- It is good to wash your face with plain water frequently. Along with the moisturization of face it also removes the extra oil and dust from the skin.
- Spray rose water 3-4 times a day on sensitive parts of your skin during Ramadan to keep your skin cells fresh.
- Avoid cosmetics as much as you can.
If you have to go to work or you have to wear makeup on daily basis for some reason, then you must try these tips.
- Foundation looks good and hides the spots on your skin but, apply a thin layer of foundation.
- Use blush-on of mat light colors like peach, pink and brown.
- Using eye shadow during the day is not necessary but if you really have to use it then use light colors.
- You can also wear kajal or eye liner to make your eyes to look gorgeous.
- Try not to use any kind of lip wear during the month of Ramadan.

Laila tul Qadar is not only in 27 Ramdan
Lailatul Qadr is not on 27th Ramadan Only
Lailatul Qadr is that blessed night in which ALLAH swt decides the matters of everything for the next year. The term “qadar” means decree or fate which is also called qismat. Hence the night of decree is none other than lailatul qadar which has also termed as lailatul mubarika in surah dukhan.
The significance of this blessed night cannot be covered in the words because ALLAH swt Himself says “wa ma adraka ma lailatul qadar : and what do you know what laila tul qadar is”. This verse means that no matter how much we say we cannot encapsulate the immense significance of this night.
There are various ahadtih regarding this blessed night we will first see few of them and then will continue with the article.
Narrated 'Aisha: Allah's Apostle said, "Search for the Night of Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten days oframadan." (Bukhari - Book #32, Hadith #234)
he Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: “Laylatul Qadr has been bestowed by Allah to my Ummah (People). It was not given to any people before this.” (Dur-Mansoor).
Hazrath Aisha (Radhiallaahu Anha) reported that the Apostle of Allah said: “Search for the Blessed Night in the odd(nights) from the last ten (nights) of Ramadhaan” (Bukhari)
Hazrath Aisha has narrated another saying:
“I asked: O Messenger of Allah! Tell me if I were to find a Night of Power, what should I recite therein?” Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) advised her to recite:
Al-laa-hum-ma in-na-ka ‘afoow-wan tu-hib-bul-’af wa fa-fu ‘an-ni.
O Allah! You are Forgiving, You love forgiveness, so forgive me. (Bukhari).
Seek it in Ramadan in the last ten nights. For verily, it is during the odd nights, the twenty-first, or the twenty-third, or the twenty-fifth, or the twenty-seventh, or the twenty-ninth, or during the last night." Sahih Hadith Ahmad 5:318.
Whoever stays up (in prayer and remembrance of Allah) on the Night of Qadr fully believing (in Allah’s promise ofreward for that night) and hoping to seek reward (from Allah alone and not from people), he shall be forgiven for his past sins.” Sahih Hadith Bukhari / Muslim.
Thus, from the above mentioned ahadith, we can say confidently that this night comes in the last ten days of Ramadan and in the odd nights only. One of the odd night will be this blessed night. Which night is it, we are not told we are only told to find it.
On 27th Ramadan, the Quran was completed while in the blessed night of lailatul qadar, Quran was started reveling thus it is a different night from 27th and has a different meaning. Obviously, when Quran started to revel it was a decision of ALLAH swt to change the fate of those who were looking for salvation and to change the fate of those who were the earth’s gods. Thus lailatul qadar is not know it is to be found in the last five odd nights of Ramadan i.e. 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th
The significance of this blessed night cannot be covered in the words because ALLAH swt Himself says “wa ma adraka ma lailatul qadar : and what do you know what laila tul qadar is”. This verse means that no matter how much we say we cannot encapsulate the immense significance of this night.

what Ramdan isnt?
What Ramadan Isn’t
From my experience and from non-Muslims’ experiences around me, how Ramadan is portrayed is exactly like how any product is portrayed prior to its market debut: Phenomenally spiritual, wonderful, enchanting — and ultimately falls short on these promises. People have come to see Ramadan as a symbol that encompasses everything negative about Arab Muslims living in the Middle East: lazy, impolite, excessive in consumption (of edibles and non-edibles), and discriminating against non-Muslims.
In effect, what people see of Ramadan these days is exactly everything that is not what Ramadan stands for: discipline.
At some point in history, Ramadan joined the ranks of Christmas and Thanksgiving and other religious holidays in their notoriety for exorbitant consumption. The major difference is that Ramadan is one lunar month long, which effectively makes it the most expensive of months for everyone — be it brands, consumers, or just plain residents who are trying to make their way through the world.
I will borrow some of Christianity’s teachings of the Cardinal Sins to elaborate on how people these days make Ramadan the sad state it is in — what Ramadan is, in fact, not:
LUST
Forget about sex; this isn’t the sort of lust I am talking about. It is expressed moaning and griping for everything that is out of reach. Water. Food. Coffee. Chocolate. Yes, it seems cute and funny sometimes. But eventually the persistent nagging becomes worrying. The lust for that cigarette break. You’d see people experiencing withdrawal symptoms from everything they could put in their mouths. And good God, the accompanied bickering (and self-victimization. See “Sloth”).Worse than the relatively understandable moaning the first few days, what ticks me off the most is the lust for everything luxury. Brands (see “Greed”) just love how people want to consume in Ramadan everything that is “exclusive”. Countless “Ramadan Specials” and “Ramadan Promotions” that draw people in for that luxurious Iftar (breaking the fast; the first meal). People actively look for those Ramadan tents to indulge the rest of the vices in. And the greatest indulgence of all is….
GLUTTONY
That’s right. With the UAE trying to control inflation during Ramadan period because there is a “high demand for commodities”, you’d wonder if the world is coming to an end. Anyone who has been to an Iftar buffet can see exactly why people complain from gaining weight in the month despite not eating half the day. Stores run out of food items quickly.Let’s pause for a minute here. The population is unlikely to double a week before Ramadan. And, in practice, when people go out grocery shopping for the week, they’re shopping for a two or three-meal-per-day week. And probably add in a few extra items for the sake of indulgence and maybe for the night when friends would come over. Come Ramadan, and the very same people who should shop for that one meal for Iftar and the other smaller meal before sunrise would now shop for what you’d think is either a family of 826 or for an average family which is effectively constantly eating.
Food becomes the primary form of entertainment and indulgence. And, sadly, the tonnes of wasted food that gets thrown away is probably one of the worst by-products of a fasting Muslim.
GREED
This one goes out to all brands, hotels, companies, and institutes that feed on the lust and gluttony of people. Hungry? Come eat at our exclusive luxury buffet for only this much and that much. Why, you also get a nice view of Burj X at 90% humidity. Hey, check out our wonderful brand! See what we do in Ramadan! See how we play with your emotions so you can come purchase our products! Buy this bundle of electronics you don’t need in our EXCLUSIVE Ramadan offer! (also check back at our other “exclusive” offers every three months)SLOTH
If there’s anything a fasting Muslim is ever good at, it’s this: “Hey… yeah can we postpone this? I am fasting you know.” Everyone is lethargic and no one wants to do anything. I sympathise because the lack of food and water will eventually hit cognitive abilities, but some people just push it way too far.WRATH
So not only do people make Ramadan as an excuse to not do anything, but they get bitchy about it, too. And you haven’t seen wrath unless you’ve been in rush hour traffic in Ramadan.THE DISCRIMINATION
Though Muslims and non-Muslims both get shorter working hours, from what I have seen in the UAE and KSA is that laws are enforced to “protect the feelings of fasting Muslims” such as having food courts in malls close or be obscured by a labyrinth of curtains. No one is allowed to eat or drink in public, lest a poor, hungry Muslim feels just awful for not being able to eat or drink or have that much needed coffee.If that is the case, why is the law not applicable outside of Ramadan, too? I mean, there are plenty of hungry, poor people and labourers on the street all year round, right? It’s OK to eat in front of them while they drool? Isn’t “feeling for the hungry and poor” one of the many aspects of why Muslims fast? So how are you feeling for them if you’re not confronted with the temptations? If you’re in your ivory towers of law that forbids temptation during the day and floods you with it during the night, in what possible sense are you fasting?
And why should non-Muslims be subjected to it anyway? They need to eat. It’s their right. They go to a shopping mall and they can’t even snack without hiding behind curtains. Listen, if a Muslims really wants to eat, he or she will eat. And I admit I’ve done it before.
So, here you have it. Things what Ramadan is NOT about, but have become the status quo thanks to us.

رمضان اور اعتکا ف
رمضان اور اعتکا ف
لغوی معنی:اعتکاف کا لغت مین ترجمہ یہ کیا گیا ہے۔"کہ
کسی جگہ پر جم کر بیٹھ جانا"
اصطلاحی مفہوم:اعتکاف سے مراد اصطلاحاََ یہ کہ اللہ رب
العزت کی عبادت کے لیے دنیا کے تمام کام چھوڑ کر مسجد میں بیٹھ جانا،اعتکاف ہے۔
اعتکاف نفلی عبادت ہے:
اعتکاف ایک نفلی عبادت ہے۔جو نبی کریمﷺ سے رمضان کے آخری دس روزوں میں ثابت ہے۔خصوصا آپ ﷺ اپنی
آخری عمر میں رمضان کے آخری دس روزوں میں اعتکاف کا اہتمام فرمایا۔بخاری کی روایت
ہے
"نبیﷺ رمضان کے آخری عشرے میں اعتکاف کیا کرتے تھے،یہاں تک کہ آپ ﷺ وفات پا گے،پھر
اپ ﷺ کی ازواج اعتکاف کیا کرتیں تھیں"
اعتکاف اور دیگر مسائل:
کیا اعتکاف صرف مسجد میں ہو سکتا ہے؟
قرآن مین ارشادباری تعالی ہے۔
ترجمہ"اور تم عورتوں سے مباشرت نہ کرو جب تم مساجد میں اعتکاف کرنے والے
ہو"
آپ ﷺ کے بعد صحابہ اکرام اور ازواج
مطہرات بھی مسجد میں اعتکاف کیا کرتیں تھیں۔
کیا اعتکاف کے لیے روزہ شرط ہے:
حضرت عبداللہ ابن عمر رضی اللہ عنہ روایت کرتے ہیں
کہ حضرت عمررضی اللہ عنہ نے رسول اللہ ﷺ سے سوال کیا کہ میں
نے زمانہ جاھلیت میں ایک رات کے مسجد حرم ،یں اعتکاف کی نزر مانی،آپ ﷺ نے
فرمایا"اپنی نزر پوری کرو"اس حدیث سے معلوم ہوتا ہےکہ روزہ کی حالت میں
اعتکاف کرنا شرط نہیں ہےجس کی توجہیہ یہ بھی کہ روزہ رات کو نہیں رکھا جاتا۔
اعتکاف میں کب داخل ہوا جاے؟
اعتکاف میں داخل ہونے کے حوالے سے دو طرح کی روایات ملتی ہیں
مسلم کی روایت ہے
"نبی اکرم ﷺ رمضان کے آخری عشرے کا اعتکاف کیا کرتے
تھے"(مسلم:1171)
دوسری روایت میں ہے کہ
نبی اکرم ﷺ جب اعتکاف کی نیت کر لیتے تو فجر کی نماز پڑھ کر
اعتکاف بیٹھ جاتے"(مسلم:1173)
پہلی روایت کے مطابق دس دن میں بیس کی رات بھی شامل ہے۔جبکہ
دوسری روایت میں فجر کی نماز کے بعد اعتکاف کرنے کا زکر ہے،یہاں رات شامل نہیں ہے
ان دونوں روایتوں کو اس طرح تطبیق دی گی ہے کہ رات کو
اعتکاف کرنے والے اعتکاف کی نیت سے مسجد میں داخل ہو اور نماز فجر کے بعد باقاءدہ
اعتکاف بیٹھ جاے
اعتکاف کے دوران ممنوع کام:
مباشرت:اعتکاف کی حالت میں مباشرت کرنے سے اعتکاف ٹوٹ جاتا ہے۔قرآن
میں ہے
"اور تم اپنی بیویوں سے مباشرت نہ کرو،اس وقت کہ جب
مسجدون میں اعتکاف کر رہے ہے"(البقرہ:181)
حالت نجاست میں:
حالت نجاست میں بھی اعتکاف فاسد ہو جاتا ہےمثلا حیض اور
نفاس کی حالت میں،کونکہ ان دنوں میں عورت کو مسجد میں ٹھرنے سے منع کیا گیا ہے۔
مسجد سے بلا ضرورت نکلنا:
نبی کریم ﷺ کی سنت تھی کہ جب اعتکاف کرتے تو بلا ضرورت کے
گھر مین داخل نہ ہوتے تھے
البتہ اگر کوءی ضروری کام ہوتا تو مسجد سے باہر نکلتے،جیسا
کہ نبی کریم ﷺ کی سنت تھی کہ آپ ﷺ اپنی ازواج کو چھوڑنے گھر جایا کرتے تھے۔حالانکہ
آپ ﷺ حالت اعتکاف میں ہوتے تھے۔(بخاری:2035)
حالت اعتکاف میں مباح امور:
استحاضہ والی عورت اعتکاف بیٹھ سکتی ہے(بخاری:2328)
اعتکاف کرنے والا مرد اپنی بیگم سے سر دھونے اور کنگھی
کروانے جیسے کاموں میں مدد لے سکتا ہے(بخاری:2028)
ملاقات کے لے بیوی تشریف لا سکتی ہے
اگر کسی وجہ سے اس مسجد مین جمعہ کا اہتمام نہ ہو تو دوسری
مسجد مین نماز پڑھنے کے لئے جایا جا سکتا ہے
