RAMADAN………What is It?
Ramadan is derived from the Arabic root word ramida or arramad intense scorching heat and dryness, especially the ground. From the same root there is ramdaa, sunbaked sand, and the famous proverb: “Kal Mustajeer
minar Ramadaa binnar” – to jump out of the frying pan into the fire. And in a hadith the Messenger of Allah (S) said : “The prayer of repenters is due when the young camel can feel the sun’s heat early in the morning.”
Thus, the Ramadan is so called to indicate the heating sensation in the stomach as a result of thirst. Others said it is so called because Ramadan scorches out the sins burns the ground. Some said it is so called because
the hearts and souls are more readily receptive to the admonition and remembrance of Allah during Ramadan, ad the sand and stones are receptive to the sun’s heat. The framers of this beautiful language may have been inspired by Allah (SWT) in naming this month Ramadan.
