A number of historical events occurred in the month of Ramadan, such as the victory of the Muslims in the Battle of Badr, the opening of the city of Mecca or the fatkhu of Mecca, Lailatul Qadar, and the Nuzulul Qur’an or the revelation of the Qur’an. The month of Ramadan is a holy and great month for Muslims. During this holy month, Muslims are required to fast for a whole month.
Running it in the Qur’an In the month of Ramadan, every worship is rewarded multiplied and every believer is encouraged to do good, the month the Qur’an was revealed, the month of patience, fortitude, and various other virtues related to the faith and piety of the Muslims.
The privileges of the month of Ramadan are mentioned in many hadiths of the Prophet SAW, including: الصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسُ الْجُمْعَةُ لَى الْجُمْعَةِ وَرَمَضَانُ لَى رَمَضَانَ اتٌ ا ا اجْتَنَبَ الْكَبَائِرَ “The five daily prayers, between Friday and Friday, between Ramadan and the next Ramadan can erase “There are sins committed in between, if you stay away from major sins.” (Sahih Hadith, History of Imam Muslim: 344, and Imam Ahmad: 8830, with the editorial of hadith from the history of Imam Muslim)
1. Nuzulul Quran
The events that occur in the month of Ramadan are Nuzulul Qur’an (the revelation of the Qur’an). The event of Nuzulul Qur’an is usually commemorated every 17th of Ramadan.
The term Nuzulul Qur’an is often understood as the decline of the Qur’an from lauhulmahfuz to Baitul Izzah in the sky of the world. As the word of God, the Qur’an can bring a bright light to the life of the entire universe. Through the instructions given by God, humans can carry out activities properly and correctly so as not to cause damage and harm to other creatures.
As a way of life, the Qur’an brings rules of life in the field of worship and in the social field. In matters of worship, it is usually stated in the science of fiqh which explores the procedures for performing a worship. And in the social field, it is usually discussed in the science of Sufism, which regulates the purpose of human beings and what are the functions of humans created by God.
Therefore, the Nuzulul Qur’an event should be commemorated with worship that increases our good deeds. For example, multiply dhikr, prayer, and other worship to honor the glory of the Koran.
