Islam is the religion of welfare, tolerance, hope,patience, survival and collectivity of humanity. Fasting is a manifestation of communal qualities and piety and purity. The virtues of fasting are immeasurable, but one of its virtues is that Allah wants His servant to endure hunger and thirst for some time so that he can feel the hunger and thirst of these servants within himself. Islam is the religion of nature and Islam has given a sign of a believer that the body of a believer is like one. Just as one part of the body is in pain, the whole body becomes restless, so when a person starts to feel the pain of another as the pain of his own body, this is a sign of perfect faith. All these benefits and blessings are obtained by adopting the worship of fasting.
Khawaja Jalaluddin Roomi's message further reveals that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said that whoever fasts in Ramadan with the intention of faith and reward, Allah will forgive all his previous sins. May Allah Almighty bless us with the blessings of Ramadan.
Just as the reward for every act of worship is many times greater in Ramadan, in the same way, in the month of fasting, the reward for doing good deeds and serving the people is much higher than on normal days.
Khawaja Jalaluddin Roomi further said that it is important to provide assistance to the needy, orphans, disabled and the poor before the days of Ramadan and Eid. Similarly, Jalaluddin Roomi Foundation (in the name of Mehr Fatima Dastarkhawan) is organizing Sehri and Iftar at Multan Railway Station during Ramadan so that passengers and porters can have Sehr and Iftar.It may be remembered that Jalaluddin Roomi foundation is already providing lunch whole year except Ramadan on regular basis. He said that this effort means that we are organizing Sehri and Iftar for those people who are friends of Allah and associated with halal sustenance. Such activities in Ramadan mean good deeds. Jalaluddin Roomi Foundation will continue to work on such projects in the future.
