The Qur'an Generation Platform released a statement on the upcoming Ramadan, making recommendations on individual, family, and collective worship during the holy month.
"The month of Ramadan is the month in which the Qur'an is revealed, a guidance for mankind, and a clear proof of the right path and the separation between the truth and the wrong," said Mehmet Emin Sütçü, one of the general coordinators of the platform.
He went on to quote a Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad that says: “Ramadan, a blessed month, has come to you during which Allah has made it obligatory for you to fast. In it the gates of Heaven are opened, the gates of al-Jahim are locked, and the rebellious devils are chained. In it, Allah has a night which is better than a thousand months. He who is deprived of its good has indeed suffered deprivation.”
Ten recommendations that were put forward by the platform are as follows:
1- At least one fascicle [20-pages] of the Qur'an should be read in a day
2- The obligatory [fardh] and supererogatory prayers should be performed properly.
3- Night prayers should be made a habit during Ramadan and be continued after Ramadan.
4- The life of Prophet [al-Sirat] or a fiqh book should be read as much as circumstances allow.
6- All Muslims should phone family members, relatives, neighbors, acquaintances, and colleagues on the occasion of Ramadan month and try to help and to meet their needs within the scope of possibilities.
7- Lailat al-Qadr should be observed properly.
8- Every Muslim should try to improve their skill in reading Qur'an.
9- Great importance should be given dhikr, remembrance of Allah, during Ramadan.
10- Those habits should also be maintained after Ramadan. (ILKHA)
