Forgotten Schools

There are many schools that we belong to: scholastically, literary or artistically.

Furthermore, they have become from the most helpful, direct, and influential means of education. The presentations and lessons which they grant and show are multiple. They graduate hundreds but rather thousands every year, a generation after another. However, there is a forgotten school among all these schools. It is a school graduated different generations and classes of the society: males and females, young and old. It is Ramadan Educational School; a mixture between values, beliefs, and principles.

There are different schools branched from that school, of which are the following:

• School of Patience: where abstaining from food and drink helps you, by the will of Allah, to abandon what He has forbidden and to leave the lust of food and drink.

• School of Forbearance: by abstaining from insulting or harming those who harm you by saying or action for the sake of the reward. You may respond by saying: (O Allah, I am fasting) and that will teach you forbearance because forbearance can be promoted by practicing forbearance.

• School of Discipline: People are equal when they eat, offer Tarawih (Optional Night Salah after `Ishal during Ramadan), and in the time of rest, which contain lessons in discipline, regulation, administration, and planning.

• School of the Qur'an: where students dedicate themselves to recite, memorize, and contemplate the Qur'an which, in turn, be a reason for the joy of the heart, removal of worries, grief, sadness, and a provision to use for the rest of the year.

• School of Mercy and Pardon: If we ask Allah to forgive our sins and faults, it is important to pardon and forgive at the beginning of this blessed month so that Allah may show mercy to us and forgive our sins.

There are many other uncountable lessons and benefits, but it is good for the person whom Allah opened his heart and enlightened his insight to extract from that pure and clear fountain which a person leaves with many scientific lessons and educational courses. Indeed, it is a precious opportunity and a tireless booty that is not available to you except in this Month.
