Ramadan Quotes

“Chrismadan (The Sonnet) What happens when two ancient cultures come together! They create a spectacular specimen called dervish advaitin. When mistletoe and menorrah combine, heart shines brighter, Beyond belief 'n disbelief, there's a land most enlightening. Keep your outdated sectarian identities to yourself, I am Jewistian, Hinduslim, or simply Human Universal. Be the next civilized step of humankind's evolution, Not just another savage vessel of mistakes ancestral. Revitalized by Ramadan, humanized by Christmas, Let's celebrate Chrismadan, as well as Hanukkawali. Instead of carrying on as second-hand savages, Habibi come, let us start living with humanity! When all religions combine, a modern human is born. Without integration there is no dawn, just endless mourn.”

“Sonnet of Festivals Christmas isn't about the decorations, It's about compassion. Hanukkah isn't about the sufganiyot, It's about amalgamation. Ramadan isn't about the feast, It's about affection. Diwali isn't about the lights, It's about ascension. Our world is filled with festivals, But what do they really mean? Celebrating them with cultural exclusivity, Makes us not human but savage fiend. Every festival belongs to all of humanity, For happiness has no religious identity.”

“Ramadan is not fasting. Ramadan is an Islamic feast where one stuffs oneself twice a day with food, and in between lets ones intestines dry out. To describe that process as 'fasting' seems rather ubiquitous to me. The amount of food transported into the body is probably exactly the same, but because of the dehydration the food is processed less effectively. As customs go, most customs are typically silly and Ramadan is no exception. I can accept such silliness when people keep it to themselves, but unfortunately one sees such a sharp rise in 'policing' others that even non Muslims are now experiencing violence because they are eating at daytime in the Ramadan period.”

“Het is zomer. We vieren Eid al-Fitr, het Suikerfeest, zonder baba. Het is de eerste keer dat ik me echt eenzaam voel in mijn ei-gen land. Niet alleen omdat baba er niet is. Ik weet dat hij veilig is in België en daar een nieuw en beter leven voor ons zoekt. Ik voel me eenzaam omdat ik voel en zie dat mama verdrietig is en omdat ze er niet over praat. Ik voel me eenzaam omdat mijn broers, en zeker de kleine Yasmina, uitkijken naar het Suikerfeest. Soms denk ik dat zij baba niet missen, maar ik weet dat het geen echt feest zal zijn zonder hem.”

“REMEMBER: Prayer is not about punishment or reward; it is about cultivating a genuine connection with God. The deep purpose of prayer is not to obtain a certain outcome; rather, it is about having an intimate conversation with your Lord.”

“As long as your heart is beating, you have a purpose. God is intentional, so He does not keep anyone on Earth that doesn’t have to be here; if we are blessed with more life, it is because someone in the world needs us. If we are alive, it means that what we were sent to this Earth to create has not yet been accomplished.”

“In Arabic, the word fitna, meaning “hardship,” stems from the word fatanah, which means “to test gold, burn with fire.” Just as gold is heated to extract valuable elements from the useless surrounding material, it is through the fire of our trials that our golden essence is unearthed.”

“Just as clouds cannot affect the presence and power of the sun’s light, but can alter our experience of the intensity of the light, sin can veil our perception of our inner goodness, but it cannot change it.”

“Fasting and feasting all turn mere futile choir, If, for whatever reason, life is distant from life. Celebration of Ramadan is celebration of rahmat*, Ramadan without *compassion is Ramadan without life. Ramadan is not a muslim festival, Ramadan is a human festival. Ramadan is a reminder to rekindle our light, Ramadan is the end of all feelings uncharitable.”

“Ramadan Sonnet Le jeûne et les festins deviennent un chœur futile si la vie est éloignée de la vie. La célébration du Ramadan est la célébration du rahmat*, le Ramadan sans la *compassion est le Ramadan sans vie. Le Ramadan n'est pas une fête musulmane, c'est une fête humaine. Le Ramadan est un rappel pour raviver notre lumière, Le Ramadan met fin à tous les sentiments peu charitables. Le plus grand iftar est de rompre le jeûne de l’apathie, avec la fête de l’affection. Pour celui qui vit avec bonté, chaque jour est le Ramadan.”

“Sonetto Ramadan Il digiuno e il banchetto diventano rituali futili, se la vita viene separata dalla vita. La celebrazione del Ramadan è la celebrazione di rahmat*, Il Ramadan senza *compassione è il Ramadan senza vita. Il Ramadan non è una festa musulmana, Il Ramadan è una festa umana. Il Ramadan è un promemoria per riaccendere la nostra luce, Il Ramadan pone fine a tutti i sentimenti scortesi. L'iftar più grande è rompere il digiuno dell'apatia, con la festa dell'affetto. Per chi vive con gentilezza, il Ramadan viene ogni giorno.”

“Happy Holidays (The Sonnet) Spirit of Christmas doesn't grow on a fir tree, Christmas blooms wherever the heart is hatefree. Ramadan isn't fulfilled by feasting on some tasty beef, The greatest of feast is haram if others go hungry. Hanukkah's miracle isn't about the oil lasting 8 days, Rather it's about the resilience of light amidst darkness. Fireworks may be diwali for those still in kindergarten, Everyday is diwali for an existence rooted in kindness. The will to love and the will to lift are the backbone, Of all human celebration, tradition and communion. Take that fundamental will out of the equation, All you have left are rituals without meaning and mission. Fasting, feasting and decorating are step two of any festival. First and foremost, at our altar within, we gotta light a candle.”

“30 Days of Ramadan (Sufi Sonnet) On the 1st day of Ramadan I say to thee, celebration of Ramadan is celebration of rahmat. On the 2nd day of Ramadan I say to thee, the greatest iftar is to lift up another. On the 3rd day of Ramadan I say to thee, kindness makes moments holy, not date and time. On the 4th day I say to thee, till we renounce apathy, refusing 'interest' counts for nothing. On the 5th day of Ramadan I say to thee, helping a human is worth a hundred Hajj. On the 6th day of Ramadan I say to thee, service to humanity is service to Allah/God. On 7th I say, true mercy waits for no month. On 8th I say, mercy exclusive to month is fake mercy. 9. There is nothing uglier than happiness hoarded. 10. Light shared, is amplified, when hoarded, it's lost. 11. Breaking fast while the world starves, is no holy. 12. Dua without deeds is dua (prayer) of the dead. 13. Only kafir is the one who lacks kindness. 14. Real divinity knows no distinction of faith. 15. The opposite of sacredness is prejudice. 16. Heart is the first and final mosque. 17. Heart set on prejudice tantamount to Quran set on fire. 18. Abandon fundamentalism, and adopt tolerance. 19. What's fanatic is dead, what's tolerant is alive. 20. Tolerance is the awakening of divine desire. 21. Condemn none, convert none, for all are equal. 22. All streams spring from the human heart. 23. Reflections though vary, the sun is the same. 24. Tolerate no more bigotry to poison the world. 25. Surpass all fear, and share a date. 26. Date shared is bloodshed spared. 27. Dogma deserted is harmony harvested. 28. Ramadan is the end of fear and hatred. On the eve of Eid, I bear reminder - for one who lives with kindness, everyday is Ramadan. On Eid al-Fitr, I stand as a promise - in celebrating each other we rise human.”

“A 40-year-old Muslim woman, Roshan Khatun, was killed in Bihar, India, after being tied to a pole, beaten, and forced to drink urine mixed with alcohol at the residence of a village head. Roshan Khatun visited the residence of the village head on February 25 to settle a land dispute. According to witnesses, the village head’s husband and son assaulted her by throwing her to the ground and repeatedly beating and kicking her. Acting on the head’s orders, they then tied Khatun to a pole and continued to strike her. As she was observing a Ramadan fast and became thirsty, she pleaded for water but was instead forced to drink urine mixed with alcohol.”

“We do not pray, fast, or give charity because Allah needs it, but because our spirits need to be in the presence of the Divine light to blossom. We are seeds, we are infinite potential hidden in the garden of a body, waiting to awaken through the mercy of Allah’s light.”

“Don't go into Ramadan having hurt anyone without seeking their forgiveness. The last thing you'd want on the day of judgment is to find that your entire Ramadan with all of its quran recitation, fasting, taraweeh prayers, laylatul qadr, etc. went completely to waste because your pride stopped you from saying “I'm sorry”. With that being said, I'm sorry if I've written, said, or done anything to offend you. Please find it in your heart to forgive and make dua that Allah grants me guidance and sincerity.”

“Don't let this Ramadan be just a holiday of rituals. Don't finish reading the Quran without it transforming you. Don't feed your body at suhoor, but starve your heart of Qiyam. Don't reduce this downpour of mercy to just a month of sweets and lavish iftars. Seek Him, you will find. Take a sincere step towards change, transformation, redemption. If you do, you will find Him in front of you. Find Him this month. He's been there all along. Closer than your jugular vein. Look and you'll find. Walk and you'll arrive.”

“Eid is a time of joy, after a season of fasting and prayer and reflection. Each year, the end of Ramadan means celebration and thanksgiving for millions of Americans. And your joy during this season enriches the life of our great country. This year, Eid is celebrated at the same time as Hanukkah and Advent. So it's a good time for people of these great faiths, Islam, Judaism and Christianity, to remember how much we have in common: devotion to family, a commitment to care for those in need, a belief in God and His justice, and the hope for peace on earth.”
