There is a special resemblance between biryani and the fasts of Ramadan. We know that the consumption of rice increases during Ramadan. Somewhere inside and outside the house, there is a spring of free rice and somewhere there is a spring of rice by distributing for free. However, during Ramadan, rice is abundant everywhere, but there is another deep resemblance between fasting and rice, which is ignored. In this article, we have tried to draw attention to this, let’s see. Rice is one of the main ingredients for biryani. We know that rice is not everything. If rice is not worked hard during the preparation of biryani, then rice is not called biryani. Become something else. In other words, we can eat our biryani, we can’t feed anyone, but if you work hard on the same rice, use other accessories along with the rice properly and carefully, not only do you enjoy the biryani but People around you also benefit. Similarly, the basic action during fasting is to stay hungry and thirsty during sehri and iftar, but if one remains only hungry and thirsty during sehri and iftar and does not pay attention to other matters, then the fasting person gets nothing but hunger and thirst. According to the hadiths of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), some fasting people do not get anything from fasting except hunger and thirst. Therefore, every Muslim needs to pay special attention to the following matters in general life and during fasting in particular.

            Language protection: If the tongue is not protected during Sehri and Iftar then the slightest carelessness or momentary pleasure not only wastes our hard work but also becomes a cause of accountability in the hereafter, so try especially During fasting one should refrain from idle talk and engage in Zikr-e-Ilahi or Durood-e-Sharif or at least remain silent. It is a matter of common observation that we are either engaged in backbiting or slandering Yen is the best way to spend time, but it is the cause of deprivation of the great reward promised on fasting.

            Avoiding haram or suspicious: The du’a’ ‘of the fasting person is especially accepted, so the du’a’’ is requested from the fasting person, but if the fasting person fasts or breaks his fast with haram wealth, then the du’a’ ‘of the fasting person does not go above and beyond. He needs to review his sources of income as much as possible, even if there is evidence of haram. It is necessary to correct him, especially for those who are on duty during Ramadan. (It usually does not happen after duty). In this regard, it is necessary to get the opinion of the authoritative mufti by stating his nature in this regard, lest goodness is ruined, sin becomes obligatory. 

Charity: If you arrange for charity during Ramadan, then remember that the first right of charity is to the people closest to you. Say spend on your parents, relatives, orphans, the poor. If you consider, you will find that even before the orphan and the poor, it is commanded to spend money on one’s parents, then on relatives, and finally on the orphans and the poor.

            When we spend, we first look for an orphan, a poor person from afar, because we do not consider our relatives as worthy of our wealth or we do not belong to them, and those to whom we have nothing belong. Why give, although we cannot follow our likes and dislikes in spending money, we are bound by Islamic teachings. If we succeed in observing Ramadan in the light of Islamic teachings, we will feel the effects of this month throughout the year, and one important thing is that if possible, if you can take a parcel of accessories for yourself during Iftar, your neighbors, If we prepare a parcel, even if it is incomplete, even for a Safavid Posh in the street, then, believe me, we will feel the joy of Ramadan more than the joy that we feel by sending Iftar to the people who are full in the nearby mosque.
