Written by Allama Parvez

Since repparttar Quran prescribed fasting specifically in repparttar 126753 month of Ramadan, it is important to know repparttar 126754 significance of this special time. A special feature of repparttar 126755 Quran is that whenever it gives a command for action, it also provides repparttar 126756 wisdom behind it. It tells what repparttar 126757 final result of that action will be in this world, if it is successfully carried out. In this way repparttar 126758 Quran provides a pragmatic test for people to see whether or not they are moving toward that desired result. Regarding fasting, repparttar 126759 Quran says:

O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint . [al-Baqarah 2:183] Translation: Yusuf Ali

Despite his condition, tears began to roll down his face as he lightly squeezed my hand. I felt repparttar powerful, overflowing presence of Jesus Christ. He was alright with repparttar 126752 Lord.

The devil did not want me to go to repparttar 126753 hospital to pray for my cousin. He thought he had won, but praise God for repparttar 126754 victory in Jesus.

My dear brother cousin died within a few hours. All his organs shut down. At work that afternoon, and in repparttar 126755 presence of Jesus repparttar 126756 next day!

James 4.7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist repparttar 126757 devil, and he will flee from you."
