Virtues Of Ramadan: #7

#7: The Devils are Chained Up in Ramadan

More virtues of Ramadan: the devils are chained up. As the ḥadīth mentioned above implies, the devils are chained up, the moment it’s declared that Ramadan has arrived. Certainly, the devils are chained up. But those that are chained up are the big shots. The small creeps remain in operation.

Furthermore, yes, the devils of jinkind are chained up, but none of the devils of humankind is. So if one happens to be fasting, yet he finds himself in pornography or even zina, he should blame not the devil but himself. If you still mingle with friends who pass around pornographic materials during Ramadan, blame not the jinkind devils, not even your friends, but yourself.

I would like to claim that, even the small devils who remain in operation do so in response to commands from their masters among the devils of mankind. Otherwise, why would a Muslim practise black magic, siḥr or ‘whatever you may call it’ in Ramadan? We know that, black magic takes effect only when the jinn involved responds and takes action.

To have the best Ramadan yet both spiritually and physically and incorporate healthy eating into your Sahur an Iftar. Sahur (Pre-dawn meal) With limited opportunities to eat duri...

An Overview of Laylatal al-Qadr: Revelation to Prophet Muhammad
