"AVOID USING INTERNET, MOBILES, TV DURING FASTING HOURS"

Most of the people fast in Ramadan but their schedule is quite like this :

* waking up at 11 or 12 pm
* using mobile phones/ Laptops/ Watching Tv
* Sleeping again for some hours waiting for "Maghrib Prayer"

Many people consider fasting as "Avoiding food And Drink" but Ramadan is a Month of gaining "Taqwa/ getting closer to Allah"

Some people spend their entire day (or a major part of it) 'sleeping away their fast'. Is this what is really required of us during this noble month? These people also are missing the purpose of fasting and are slaves to their desires of comfort and ease. They cannot 'bear' to be awake and face a little hunger or exert a little self-control. For a fasting person to spend most of the day asleep is nothing but, negligence on his part.

The month of Ramadaan is a precious, precious time. Before we know it, this month of mercy and forgiveness will be over. We should try and spend every moment possible in the worship of Allaah so that we can make the most of this blessing. However, there are some of us who waste away their day playing video games, or worse still, watching TV, movies or even listening to music. Subhaan Allaah! Trying to obey Allaah by DISOBEYING Allaah!

~"O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious)" [al-Baqarah 2:183]

~Al-Bukhaari (1903, 6057) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever does not give up false speech and acting upon it, and ignorance, Allaah has no need of him giving up his food and drink.”

This Blessed Month comes to make us "Pious and God-Fearing)" not as a Prohibition of food and drinks only !!
