 Ramadan, Frugality & Thanksgiving,
Small Booklet : 36 pages,
by Badiuzzaman Said Nursi.


Description :

From the Risale Nur Collection : Humanities Encounter with the Divine Series;

A discussion of some Divine purposes for fasting in Ramadan, as it is Islam’s brightest and most splendid symbol or ritual. This section consists of nine points explaining nine purposes.


Many of fasting in Ramadan's purposes realate to Allahs Lordship and giving thanks for His bounties, as well as to humanities individual and collective life, self training and self-discipline.


The All-Compassionate Creator wills thanksgiving for the bounties He bestows upon us. He praises frugality which shows respect for the bounty and is profitable, and condemns wastefulness which contradicts thanksgiving, slights His bounties and causes loss.


Thanksgiving is recognized by contentment and thrift, consent and gratitude; not giving thanks is recognized by greed and waste, ingratitude and consuming without regard for what is lawful and unlawful.
