Holy Ramadan, the ninth month of Hijri calendar, is an occasion of fasting and self introspection. The significance of this month is multiplied by revelation of the Holy Qur’an in the night of Qadr, one of the odd number of 10 nights of the month.
For Muslims this month is an occasion of self-introspection, (
ehtisaab) through seclusion, self assessment and introspection and repentance (
tauba).
Humans have a physical and spiritual component. The
nafs in Arabic is the “ego” or “soul” of a person. There may be multiple wishes and desires in a human being of lust, greed, envy etc. Introspection and purification of soul is the aim of fasting.
