Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is considered the most sacred month for Muslims worldwide. Among its many virtues, it is a month of fasting (Sawm), increased worship, reflection, and seeking forgiveness from Allah.

According to authentic Islamic traditions (Hadith), Allah forgives a large number of believers each day during Ramadan, especially at the time of Iftar, when the fast is broken. One narration mentions that ten lakh (one million) Muslims are forgiven every day during this blessed month at the moment they break their fast. This demonstrates Allah’s immense mercy and emphasizes the spiritual benefits of fasting beyond physical restraint.

Fasting in Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. Muslims abstain from food, drink, and other invalidating actions from Fajr (dawn) to Maghrib (sunset). The act of fasting is not only physical but also spiritual, as it encourages self-discipline, patience, and empathy for the less fortunate.

The time of Iftar is particularly significant. It is a moment when supplications (Du’as) are more likely to be accepted, and believers are encouraged to pray for themselves, their families, and the Muslim Ummah. The forgiveness granted at Iftar represents a divine mercy, cleansing sins and bringing believers closer to Allah.

This MCQ helps learners understand the unique spiritual blessings of Ramadan, reminding Muslims of the importance of fasting, sincere worship, and making the most of this holy month.
