RNA - Hujjat al-Islam Naser Rafiee, in the Quran reciting session, held in Imam Khomeni shrine, saying that everything has a beginning, and the start of a praying year is the grand month of Ramadan, stated “The grand month of Ramadanis the month highly respected by God.”
The faculty member of al-Mustafa International University added, “Imam Sajjad (AS), in the 44th prayer of Sahifa Sajjadia, regarding the high significance and position of the month of Ramadan, mentions that the one who respects the month of Ramadan, attains happiness and will enter the heaven.”
Stressing that the great scholars have given much significance to the grand month of Ramadan, he reiterated, “Like other grand scholars, Imam Khomeini reduced the number of his sessions in the month of Ramadan and specified more time to worshiping.”
Saying that the one who desecrates the month of Ramadan has desecrated God, he added, “Desecration of the month of Ramadan is much wrong and ugly as God Himself has given much respect to this month and said that this month and fasting in this month is mine.”
The faculty member of al-Mustafa International University pointed out, “Fasting should solely be done for God, and according to Prophet Moses (AS), fasting for the satisfaction of other has no reward or benefit.”
