The blessed month of Ramadan has arrived once again... and its going to be a difficult 1 this time round, long days of sunlight and high temps will certainly add to ones personal trials. I've just complete day 3 of 30 (approx) and well today was defiantly easier than the last 2 days, I truly hope to god it gets easier so I can maximise my days.
Well anyways abit of education.... Ramadan is usually about 30 days.... why? well each day represents 10 days therefore once a person completes 30 days he/she would be rewarded for 300 days of fasting. To complete the year a person has 30 addition days to perform 6 more days of fasting, so for 36 days of fasting you can be rewarded as if you completed 360 days! Bargain if you ask me.... (The 6 additional days are optional)
Now those 30 days are split into 3 segments....
first 10 - the days of mercy from Allah
second 10 - the days of forgiveness from Allah
third 10 - the days of salvation from the hellfire
The information above is not known to everyone, even some Muslims! so I've been trying to design a simple and minimalistic poster to illustrate the above facts. I wanted to make it as basic as possible using as simple arrow shapes and bold colour to represent each section.
The way I broke down the meaning behind each segment is like this
first - man seeks mercy from God (i.e. praying towards God)
second - God forgives man for his sins
third - man seeks to avoid the temptations around him thus avoiding hell
Inshallah there will be more to follow
assalamu alaikum
