Ramadan Revealed

Its author Mawl?n? ?Abd al-?Al?m al-Sidd?q? (translated by Tahir Mahmood Kiani) underscores the month's balance: neither indulgence nor ascetic withdrawal but a disciplined path toward God-consciousness. </p><p></p><p>Alongside clear rulings-covering moonsighting who must fast and acts that nullify fasting-the book stresses moral fasting directing believers to guard not only the body but also speech and senses. Emphasis on <em>tar?w??</em> (nightly prayers) <em>i?tik?f</em> (seclusion in the mosque) and Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Great Value) highlights the month's spiritual pinnacle. Concluding with Eid al-Fitr this concise work celebrates Ramadan as a source of purification communal unity and deep devotion.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>Mawl?n?
