Description
All praises to Allah Almighty Who is the Master and Creator of
the universe. This book is an English translation of Urdu book
“Haqeeqat-e-Roza” written by Shabeeh-e-Ghaus-e-Azam Sultanul-Ashiqeen
Hazrat Sakhi Sultan Mohammad Najib-ur-Rehman
Madzillah-ul-Aqdas.
In this materialistic world, all are involved in the worldly
matters deeply and have no or little interest in the values of Islam
and its teachings. Thus, there was a need to explain the actual
purpose of the obligations and pillars of Islam. In order to give a
complete and comprehensive collection about the reality of
teachings of Islam, to make them easy and understandable for
all, various books are published by Sultan-ul-Faqr Publications.
This book explains about one of the obligatory pillars of Islam
i.e. Saum (to observe fast) in which the teachings of Islam are
precisely explained according to the Holy Quran, Sunnah,
jurisprudence and in context of mystics with factual research.
Nowadays, people are busy in worldly affairs and have no time
to get awareness of their real self. Muslims are practising all the
prayers superficially which is just an exertion upon the physical
body and they gain no spiritual benefit from it as these worships
are deprived of the true essence and soul. The distressing thing is
that we are unaware of the true path which leads us to Allah
Almighty and purifies our soul to the extent that it unifies with
Allah Almighty and grants the Divine vision and closeness.
Islam is a beautiful religion and the religion of nature. Allah
Almighty has created this universe on the basis of Divine Love
(Ishq) and the main purpose behind the creation of human beings
is to get His recognition. As, Allah says in a Qudsi Hadith:
