Yep if u commit sin then it is entirely your own doin but then agian there is always a choice when satan is around.

also satan not being around means that your level of faith is week if you sin but this is the month you can take advantage by doing dhikr (remberin allah) to cleanse your heart which in turns builds your taqwa (fear of allah) and gets rid of your nafs (ego)

So why does God lock Satan up for a month?

I mean I understand that it's an opportunity for muslims to increase their taqwa as you stated - but are there any additional historical/religious reasons God decides to do this?

Its only awkward if you want it to be!

I suppose one reason may be the fact that the Holy Quran was revealed in this month.
I also know that the Holy Prophet (pbuh) said: "When the month of Ramadhan starts, the doors of heaven are opened, the doors of the hell are closed, and Satan is put into chains". In this saying the Holy Prophet (pbuh) has promised a high place in heaven for one who observess the fast because a believer is enjoined to perform such deeds that please Allah and stay away from bad things.

I suppose the only reason i can think of why satan would be chained is so that it becomes easier on us humans to do the right thing and by doing so we may hopefully avoid the hell fire.

my rant for today and yesterday....

not a single pair of good trainers in city centre and trafford :evil:

The Lover is ever drunk with love;
He is free, he is mad,
He dances with ecstasy and delight.

Caught by our own thoughts,
We worry about every little thing,
But once we get drunk on that love,
Whatever will be, will be.

Ataghfirullah! Material things :!: Say the Shahaadah! Astaghfirullah!

okay so its not as funny without the rest of the rest of the God-squad but it reminds of what you did to your sister

Also as I understood it Satan is in chains durring Ramadhaan but his evil ilk are still out and about so a person isn't 100% to blame for sinning but they are still more at fault than usual.

Why does Allah SWT have Satan chainned durring this month? I think its because of the blessings of Ramadhaan because Ramadhaan was a holy month even before the Prophet SAW, my evidance is somewhere in the Quraan the pagan araabs are critisized for trying to change the date of the holy month to suit there desires(I know I should be more specific Wink ).

My rant? ack life's too short for ranting i'd rather spend my time dreaming (hey I should be asleep right now!).

Gentleness and kindness were never a part of anything except that it made it beautiful, and harshness was never a part of anything except that it made it ugly.

Why is the devil chained?

First there is a difference of opinion. Some scholars say ALL devils are chained, some say a few are chained, the major trouble causers so to speak.

Answer:

1. ALLAH does what HE wills and we accept His Wisdom in ALL acts. The following maybe secondary reasons but the first asnwer as to why is that that is ALLAH's will and that is enough for us.

2. Locking up the devils is a sign of the sanctity of this month. This month is when the Quran was revealed to the roof of the world and out of respect for the sanctity of this event ALLAH chains the devils.

3. It is because this month is the training period for muslims. We are granted one months respite from dealing with the devil so that we can train ourselves against the devil and his cohorts. This is another important reason given. The spirituality that is meant to be achieved in Ramadan is meant to act as a booster in ones faith and a freshening of faith.

4. The devils are locked as a gift to the muslims. ALLAH, as our Lord and Protecter, decides to gift the Ummah by taking away their enemy for a time.

Ya ALLAH Madad.

Y is it written in loads of hadith that u have 2 fast if u have got a high sex drive?

I is fasting every other day, and it dont help at all...

It is making me very ill and my doc said i am over doing it and told me to stop

What you put in the hearts of others; is what goes back into your own heart…

That’s a fantastic question.

The month of Ramadan is the time to see what condition our soul is in….and if despite protection from the Devil we STILL lie, backbite, hate, steal etc etc then this shows how far we have fallen and is a strong manifestation of the conditions of our heart and soul.

As angel said this proves that it is our own doings….we cant blame it on the devil.

And a clear enemy is easier to defeat then a slinking one.

This is also the month to improve ourselves and give up good habits….which is made easier for us cos the devils are locked up and are not tempting us to commit sins…and because of this it is easier for us to increase our worship as well.

Ask Allah SWT for help! Biggrin

Try cold showers, keeping away as much as is practical from the opposite sex (if that means no tv then... you know...).

Also the best way is not to bait your mind with lewd thoughts, and if you catch yourself thinking those thoughts repent from them, also eating less meat and dairy products is supposed to help.

Just remember its like those nicotine patches, fasting is a good crutch but: "willpower also required" Biggrin

I was reading a little bit of the discussions from the old forum.

I've gotten boring! I used to do such lovely rants and now the best I can come up with is group hugs.

Group hugs are great

not knocking group hugs.

but they pale in comparison to my happy sad demonstrations against BigBrother.

Where'd he go anyway??

I remember him making some eerie comment about not being a mod so he could post what he "really thinks" on the forums and then silently slipping away.

you and remembering old members :roll:
