Ramazan Day 16

Ramazan Day 16

Today, I have fasted for 14 of the 16 days.  It was difficult at times to not eat / drink from  'sun up' to 'sun down', however, I was given strength to keep at my 'fast' and conclude it properly, each day. 

We are now half way to the end of the 'holy' month of Ramazan; we 'Turks' call this month Ramazan, however, our Muslim brethren from the Middleaest call this month 'Ramadan'.  It is a simple change in translation, but the meaning is the same.  

'Ramazan' is the month of 'Awareness' as I like to describe this. It is a time of valuing our actions.  The items we tend to not 'give to much thought too', which are basically the food we eat.  Also, the interactions we have with the people around us needs to be respectful at all times.  

I will not write further, as some research on the 'Net' will give you further information on this month, which is called the 'King of all the other months'.  

It really is a spiritual month, for me.  I have 14 days to 'Fast' before being rewarded the daily simple things I seldom gave second thought too; an example of this is a cup of coffee, drank any time during the day.  Looking forward to this. 

May all of us, find our kingdom...

Sincerely,

Ikhlas Chapter of Kuran

Ikhlas Chapter of Kuran

Ikhlas Chapter, English 

Ikhlas Surah, Arabic

Ihlas Suresi, Turkish 

I wanted to write a blog, linking today's topic to my previous write-up titled 'Surah Al Fatihah'.  Please look for this 'educational' and 'informative' write-up in this blog. 

Here is today's topic. 

In the religion of Islam, Ikhlas Surah, is the 112 chapter of the Holy Book Kuran/Quran.  There are 114 chapters in the Holy Book, and 'Ikhlas Surah', is a short chapter at the end, with only 4 verses.  

The chapter focuses on absolute declaration of Allah's unity and guidance.  Also, in the chapter, the believers of the religion, requests mercy from Allah. 

'Al-Ikhlas' means 'the purity' or 'the refining'. 

Below are the 4 chapters; 

First sentence is in English. 

Second sentence in Arabic. 

Third sentence is in Turkish. 

-------------

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Bismillahir Raḥmanir Raḥim. 

Sonsuz kerem ve rahmet eden Allah'ın adıyla, okumaya başlıyorum.

1.  

Say: He is Allah, the One and Only,

Kul huvallahu ehad,

De ki: Mutlak varlık olan Allah tektir.

2.  

Allah, the Eternal, Absolute,

Allahussamed,

Kendisine herseyin muhtac oldugu Allah,

3.  

He begetteth not, nor is He begotten,

Lem yelid ve lem yuled,

O, ne dogurdu, ne de doguruldu,

4. 

And there is none comparable unto Him. 

Ve lem yekullehu kufuven ehad.

Hicbir ortagi da yoktur.
