Islam is the only religion which possesses unique boldness that shows compatibility with human nature. Allah Almighty has designed every teaching of Islam keeping in consideration the characters which humans have.
Allah almighty has provided a perfect code of life in his last book that is Holy Quran. All the matters which are related with the human life have been explained in Quran and also we see their practical examples in the acts which were conducted by Holy Prophet PBUH. Islam conveys the concept which gives a great importance to human rights especially a lot of stressed has been laid upon the rights of women.

Holy Prophet PBUH said that
“It is only the kind in character who is nice to women, and only the evil one who offends them.”

At another occasion he stated that
“I order you to be generous to women.”

Allah Almighty has mentioned in Quran that men and women are supporters of each other and companions who have to do good things together and avoid sins. Women have been allotted with great respect and privileges by Islam especially when a lady becomes a mother she touches the heights of admiration. It can be estimated by the below mentioned incident.

A man came to Prophet Muhammad PBUH and asked
  “Who among mankind is deserves my generosity and love?” The Prophet answered, “Your mother.” He said “Who next?” “Your mother” again he asked “Who next?” he got the reply “Your mother.” Only after the third time he said, “And your father.”
This exhibits the privileges which have been allotted by Islam to women. But the sad fact is that presently Muslim women are not able to enjoy and exercise the rights that have been allotted to them not only in non-Muslim region, but also in Muslim societies. Women have been subjected to abuse and a lot of stress all around the globe. It is really a big drawback of most Muslim societies of this world that they fail to provide the due respected and advantages to women which have been dictated by Islam. The main reason behind this tragedy is the male dominance and related issues.

Islam has allotted equal rights to both men and women as it is mentioned in Quran that same sprit has been allotted to men and women and there is no superiority present in this regard. Women have the same rights of acquiring education that have been allotted to men. Islam also gave women the right of inheritance prior to this there was no such concept. But sadly in many Muslim societies women are deprived of this basic right and are not given their deserved share in the property.
The main problem is that there is a lack of understanding and proper teaching.

Also here it is worth mentioning that many Muslim men prefer to adopt arrogant behaviors not paying any consideration to the rights of women. In the end I would like to say that women rights have been well defined in Islam and those who don’t observe them properly will have to face great troubles in the life after death.

Ramadhan is one of the twelve months of the Muslims calendar. It is the ninth lunar month and holds special significance as Muslims all around the world fast during this month. Ramadhan is the month of blessings, sacrifice and sympathy for all Muslim community. Has this month anything to do with Christianity, Hinduism or Buddhism too? This short article is about the concept of Ramadhan in religions except Islam.

Let’s begin with seeing what the Islam has to say about this concept. The Holy Quran addresses Muslims and says: ”O you who believe! Fasting has been prescribed upon you as it was prescribed on those before you so that you may learn self-restraint “. Analyzing this you can see that at the time of Prophet (S.A.W), the concept of fasting already existed, and nations before Islam used to fast.

But did they fast in Ramadhan? Ramadhan, historians claim, was a month whose significance existed even before Islam the arrival of Islam. It was called Natiq at that time, a month that fell in the warm seasons. However there is no cogent evidence supporting the claim that Ramadhan held the same importance at that time that it enjoys these days. It only gained importance in the era of Holy Prophet because of the fact that the last revelation Holy Quran was sent down in this month. The Holy Quran has also emphasized on the importance of Ramadhan on many occasions.

If you compare the concept of fasting in all religions, you get to know that all religions prescribe fasting in one way or the other. In Christianity, Christians have been advised to fast. In fact, the Bible says that fasting does not only mean abstinence from food and water, and a fast in which one does not care for the poor is unacceptable. Christian historians have chronicled incidences when the Christ himself kept fast too.

The nature of fasting varies for different sects of Christianity, i.e. some sections abstain from meat and milk only while others fast for an entire day, but the essence remains the same. Even in Islam, a fast is meant to experience the sufferings of underprivileged and for learning self-restraint.

In Hinduism, the concept of fasting is slightly different. However, fasting has been prescribed for them too. Some Hindus fast on Mondays while others fast on Tuesday. Some fast on Thursday too the reason for this variation in fasting is because Hindus fast particularly for a certain goddess or god. Followers of Hinduism fast from after the sunset of previous day to 48 minutes after sunrise. Non-vegetarian Hindus cannot even touch any animal product during fasting; milk is an exception though.

Similarly, the concept of fasting is also present in Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism and other religions. Ramadhan is of enormous importance to Muslims only but fasting has its roots in most religions.

Islam lays great emphasis on unity in the Muslim Ummah. The Holy Quran strongly emphasizes the concept of Muslim Unity and Allah urges the Muslims to “… hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allah, and be not divided”. This verse clearly outlines that contributing towards establishing unity between the Muslim Ummah is not just a credit worthy deed for a Muslim but also an instruction exclusively given by Allah to the believers. The believers must, therefore, undertake to work for achieving a unity between Muslims and for the formation of a larger Muslim brotherhood.

All worships and pillars of Islam, in one way or the other, help in the establishment of this unity between Muslims.  Let’s begin by taking the example of prayer. Praying 5 times a day, i.e. at Fajr, Zuhr, Asar, Maghrib and Isha times, is obligatory for Muslims. Muslims from all places within a locality pray to the Lord at same time, and bow their heads in the same direction. This is a symbol of unity between Muslims while prayer. Further, praying in congregation is said to be preferable than playing alone, because the former establishes unity and equality among Muslims.

Now let’s take another example to substantiate our point. Zakat is another pillar of Islam, and it is given out to poor Muslims, as a percentage of the wealth or rich Muslims. Zakat, therefore, is meant to create a level economic ground for Muslims, which brings them together on all footings and unites them. Hajj, another pillar of Islam and a very important worship for Muslims, also propagates the same idea of Muslim unity by congregating Muslims from all over the world, and allowing them a platform where they can collectively discuss their problems and seek their solutions.

Just as all these worships, Ramadan and fasting in Ramadan also come as a great source of unity for Muslims. Ramadan is commenced and concluded by moon sighting (or calculation methods) and the month begins and ends at the same time throughout the Muslim country. This commencement and conclusion of Ramadan at the same time bonds the Muslims all over the nation together. Similar practices are observed and similar routines are followed by Muslims all over the country. By freeing themselves of material desires in Ramadan, Muslims afford themselves an opportunity to reflect upon the larger picture of the Muslim nation.

Hunger and thirst that a fasting Muslim endures brings him closer to the pain bore by the poor Muslims whole year. Mosques begin to fill by Muslims, and more and more meetings are held as religious sermons or Aftaar parties. This allows Muslims to meet each other and bond together strongly. In these meetings, religious discussions remind Muslims of their social and religious duties, and refresh their faith. Most Muslims pay their Zakat during Ramadan, which bonds the society together further strongly by bridging the gap between the poor and the rich.

If one considers all the rituals and practices followed in Ramadan, he will find that the impact of the month of Ramadan on Muslim unity and faith is enormous.
