In a poignant Ramadan message, Jamaat-e-Islami Hind leader Syed Saadatullah Husaini has portrayed the holy month as a crucial bulwark against eroding principles and faith under siege. Delivered from New Delhi, his statement resonates deeply in times of unrelenting pressure on Islamic values.
‘Let us see Ramadan this year as a serious endeavor for internal transformation and a life anchored in principles,’ Husaini declared. He stressed that fasting aims to nurture pure-heartedness, endurance, and ethical strength when iman and usool are under duress.
Devotion, he explained, emerges from an intimate sense of God’s watchfulness, fostering aversion to evil and affinity for virtue. Beyond outward practices, fasting instills a vigilant spiritual life, shifting focus from material indulgences to soulful fulfillment.
Through pangs of hunger and self-mastery, believers learn that true contentment lies beyond physical ease. This realization, coupled with tawbah (repentance), cleanses the spirit and sharpens life’s objectives.
Husaini dubbed Ramadan the ‘month of discipline,’ urging steadfastness like a mountain against outer influences and inner weaknesses. It equips one to navigate daily trials—thirst, fatigue, diversions—rooting deeds in solid principles over fleeting passions.
By altering routines for divine pleasure, Ramadan forges resilience for hard choices. In today’s digital storm, where social media brazenly undermines morals, Husaini implored the community to make this month a catalyst for genuine, enduring reform on individual and societal levels.
