| Ramadan:
Beyond mere abstention from food and drink |
|
|
As Believers we have been commanded to fast the month of Ramadaan, the ninth month of Islamic lunar calendar; a month mentioned by name in the Qur'an
[2:185] in relation to the
Qur'an; a month containing
"a night greater in value than a thousand months." [Q 97:3].
Siyaam/fasting in Islam basically involves abstinence from three primal physical needs of human
beings (food, drink, and intimate relationships) from dawn to dusk during the entire month of
Ramadaan.
Fasting, however, is far more than mere abstention from physical wants. Imaam Abu Hamid
al-Ghazali made reference to three levels of fasting; ordinary fasting/sawm-ul-'umuum, special
fasting/sawm-ul-khusuus and
extra-special fasting/sawm-ul-khusuus al-khusuus.

| Ramadan,
Counterculture, and Soul |
|
Each religion has a history. Among the aspects common to most of them is the fact that seasons of fast have long been part of their spiritual regimen. For millennia sages of diverse experiences have offered insights, esoteric and practical, on the benefits associated with voluntary deprivation for a specific time and for a transcending purpose. They have expanded on how the molecular realm of food and drink, for example, connects with the intangible realm of will and choice and of gratitude and conscience, and how certain sublime knowledge comes only to those who have mastered their desires. But nestled among the insights there may also be an indictment especially germane today: apparently, there is something corrupting about going through a full year in this life without some major interruption in habit, a break from conformity, that helps us to step outside our cartoon world. Ramadan, the Muslim season of fast, is such a disturbance.

| The
Four Great Imams |
|
|
The Four Great Imams - Abu
Hanifah, Malik, Shafi'i and Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, have been
traditionally presented as the founders of Islamic
Jurisprudence or Fiqh. This audio series seeks to introduce a
new dimension to the way their lives are viewed today, by
focusing on their characters, and their personal interaction
with their families, teachers, students, and society at large.
It aims to reemphasize their strong relevance to a wider
Muslim audience who might possess interests beyond the sphere
of Fiqh. This series reflects on the various stages of the
lives of the Four Great Imams, as teenagers, students,
teachers, fathers, and active members in their communities,
and as contemporary 'role models', particularly to the young
generation Muslims living in the West. The series also offers
a fascinating insight into the golden era of Islamic history,
with prime attention given to the factors and institutions
that led to the emergence and development of the Four Great
Imams.
