தஃவா என்பது, இஸ்லாத்தின் அடிப்படைத்  தூதை முன்வைக்கின்ற தேநேரத்தில், அவ்வக்கால சவால்களுக்கு முகம் கொடுப்பதும் அவ்வக்கால பிரச்சினைகளை அடையாளம் கண்டு அவற்றுக்கான தீர்வை வழங்குவதுமாகும். இந்த வகையில் உலக நிலைவரத்தை வைத்துப் பார்க்கின்றபோது பொதுவாகவும் இலங்கை சூழலை வைத்துப் பார்க்கின்றபோது குறிப்பதாகவும் இக்கால எமது தஃவாவில் இஸ்லாத்தின் அடிப்படையான  செய்தி முக்கியத்துவம் பெற வேண்டிய தேவையும் அவசியமும் இருப்பதுபோல முன்னுரிமை பெற வேண்டிய மற்றும் சில அம்சங்கள் உண்டு. அவ்வாறு முக்கியத்துவம் பெற வேண்டிய மூன்று அம்சங்களை அடையாளப்படுத்தலாம்.

ஒன்று, சமூக ஒற்றுமையின் முக்கியத்துவத்தை வலியுறுத்துவது.
இரண்டாவது, இனங்களுக்கிடையான சகவாழ்வின் அவசியத்தை வலியுறுத்துவது.
மூன்றாவதாக இளம் தலைமுறையினனை பண்பாடு உள்ளவர்களாகவும் ஒழுக்கமுள்ளவர்களாகவும் வளர்த்தெடுப்பதன் அவசியத்தை முன்வைப்பது.read more...

Ramadan is known to be broken down into thirds. The first ten days of Ramadan are known as the “Ten Days of Mercy”.

Muslims are aware that Ramadan is a month of spiritual opportunities, but what does the “mercy” really mean to Muslims?

One of God’s names is Ar-Rahman, the Most Merciful, and Muslims call upon God using this name in nearly everything they do. Thus, there is no surprise that Mercy manifests itself in the month that God created for Himself.

In the sacred hadith below, God says:

"O son of Adam, as long as you call upon Me and put your hope in Me, I have forgiven you for what you have done and I do not mind. O son of Adam, if your sins were to reach the clouds of the sky and then you would seek My forgiveness, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, if you were to come to Me with sins that are close to filling the earth and then you would meet Me without ascribing any partners with Me, I would certainly bring to you forgiveness close to filling it." (Authenticated by Al Albani)

Most of the classical religious teachings regarding the month of Ramadan insist on the rules being respected as well as the deep spiritual dimension of this month of fasting, privations, worship and meditation. While thinking about it more closely, one realises that this month marries apparently contradictory requirements which, nevertheless, together constitute the universe of faith.

To ponder over these different dimensions is the responsibility of each conscience, each woman, each man and each community of faith, wherever they are. We can never emphasise enough the importance of this “return to oneself” required during this period of fast.

Ramadan is a month of abrupt changes ; this is true here more than anywhere else. At the heart of our consumer society, where we are used to easy access to goods and possessions and where we are driven by the marked individualism of our daily lives, this month requires from everyone that we come back to the centre and the meaning of our life.

As the blessed month of Ramadan approaches, it is time to warm up and get ready. Reading the Prophet's hadiths about Ramadan and its blessings cleans the believers' souls and makes them more eager to enjoy the exceptionally spiritual, soul-nourishing experience of Ramadan.

Following is a collection of hadiths that reveal the status of the blessed month, its merits, rewards and special offers, as well as the Prophet's example in Ramadan.

• Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

When Ramadan enters, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hellfire are closed and the devils are chained. (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)
