Addressing to the session speaker Syeda Zainab Alviya said that the month of Ramzan is chance from Almighty Allah for mankind to greet. Almighty Allah sent down the source of guidance and Blessing, the Holy Quran in this holy month, the teaching of which took humanity from the depth of humiliation and raised it to the heights of honour and glory. She stated the sayings of Almighty in Quran that “Oh you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that you may learn piety and righteousness”. “Specific days (are designated for fasting); if one is ill or travelling, an equal number of other days may be substituted. Those who can fast, but with great difficulty, may substitute feeding one poor person for each day of breaking the fast. If one volunteers (more righteous works), it is better. But fasting is the best for you, if you only knew”. “Ramzan is the month during which the Holy Quran was revealed, providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book. Those of you who witness this month shall fast therein. Those who are ill or travelling may substitute the same number of other days. GOD wishes for you convenience, not hardship, that you may fulfil your obligations, and to glorify GOD for guiding you, and to express your appreciation”. She said that fasting is very important for human life, health and wellbeing, peace, heart, soul, brain and purity of nafs (thoughts). She said that this all is also in recognition to the fact that the Holy Prophet (PBUH & HHP) bore all kinds of hardships and hunger while Muslims are asked to observe fast for only a month.
