Hey, readers Ramadan Kareem to all!

I am going to share with you some pieces of information about Ramadan.

Do you know who must fast in Ramadan?

Allah (SWT) has made fasting obligatory in the holy month of Ramadan for every sound mind and healthy Muslim.

There is a great reward with Allah (SWT) for fasting. Rasool Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Every action of the son of Adam is multiplied, each good deed receiving tenfold to seven hundredfold rewards. Allah (SWT) said, ‘Except for fasting, for it is done for Me and I will give a reward for it, for he gives up his desire and food for My sake.’” (Narrated by Muslim, al-Siyam)

Though there are numerous benefits and significance of the month of Ramadan. Here are some important facts about Ramadan that everyone should know!

Allah (SWT) has made fasting this month the fourth pillar of Islam, as He says: “The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Quran, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So, whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e., is present at his home), he must observe Sawm (fasts) that month…” [al-Baqarah 2:185]. Allah says: “Verily, we have sent it (this Quran) down in the Night of Al-Qadr (Decree).” [al-Qadr 97:1]

About Health benefits, psychological impact and scientific facts about Ramadan

Protection from obesity: Fasting throughout this holy month may help to reduce obesity, as Ramadan fasting requires abstaining from the consumption of food and water between sunrise and sunset.
Lowering cholesterol level: As Ramadan Fasting stimulates the lipid profile, it lowers blood cholesterol and reduces the chances of heart attacks and strokes
Prevents cancer: Much research has been released in the last few years suggesting that Ramadan Fasting can lower health risk factors. According to the study, this could be attributed to reduced glucose synthesis in the blood, balanced nutritional intake, and increased generation of tumour-killing cells. (Why Does the Middle East Have the Lowest Cancer Rates in the World – Dr Berg) check on YouTube
Autophagy: Many of us don’t know what is autophagy. But in Ramadan, when we fast, our bodies do autophagy. Autophagy means self-eating. This is a mechanism of the body in which when we are on a fast for a long time, our body eats the harmful cells of the body which can become the cause of cancer in the future.

NATIONAL SCIENCE DAY

National science day was observed on Tuesday, February 28, 2023. This day provides a platform for young generation to understand the importance of science and its applications in their daily lives. It also gave a time to truly understand the role of science in driving innovation and progress in human civilization. This event was taking place throughout India at schools, colleges and other academic institutions. It is important to remember that the first National Science Day was celebrated on February 28, 1987.The theme for National Science Day 2023 is “Global Science for Global Wellbeing”.

CV RAMAN AND HIS CONTRIBUTION: Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was born on November 7, 1888, Trichinopoly, India. His work was influential in the growth of science in India, he carried out groundbreaking work in the field of light scattering, which earned him the Nobel Prize for physics in 1930. He discovered that when light transverses through a transparent material, some of the deflected light changes in wavelength. This phenomenon is subsequently known as Raman scattering result from Raman Effect. He also founded the prestigious Raman Research Institute at Bangalore. Sir C. V. Raman’s contribution to research and discovery not only provide hope and inspiration to future generations to pursue their goals but also a provide them the road map to achieve it.

SCIENCE: BOON OR BANE?

Pros- practical applications of sciences in the form of technologies have enable us to achieve some of the herculean tasks in human history. Some of the greatest minds have invented many things which make our life easier. Communication has become easily, affordable and Online education is a revolutionary milestone in the field of learning.

Cons- New scientific innovations sometimes are harmful for the society like recent Blue Whale game, Dark Net, etc. AI will grow further and affect people’s jobs. More robots, machines and great use of science and artificial intelligence are creating a dull society. Every single individual has a device in hand and their head bowed all the time in it. All these things are disturbing the social fabric of the society.

At last, we can only say that national science day provides a platform for scientists and researchers to showcase their work and inspire the younger generation to take up science and contribute to the development of the country. This day encourages us to inculcate scientific temper as mentioned in the constitution of India under article 51 A(h)- which states that it is the duty of every citizen to develop scientific temper, the spirit of enquiry and humanism. So, in short it is exhorting on the citizen to develop an attitude which questions everything and to demand to know the cause and effect relationship in any issues.
