Ramadan fast is over now what does it mean ??????
Ramadan Mubarak.
Today’s Juz’ is Al-Naba’ [78]:1 – Al-Nas [114]:1. The themes covered in these ayat include (1) events on Resurrection day; (2) a condemnation of human ingratitude; (3) the eternal consequences of dishonesty; (4) God’s omnipotence; (5) social justice; (6) elements of basic religion; and (7) invocations against evil.
The selected ayat for the day address our responsibility beyond the fast.
“What will explain to you what the steep path is? It is to free a slave, to feed at a time of hunger an orphaned relative or a poor person in distress, and to be one of those who believe and urge one another to steadfastness and compassion. Those who do this will be on the right side, but those who disbelieve in Our revelations will be on the left-hand sire, and the Fire will close in on them.” (Al-Balad [90]:12-20)
For the past month, millions of the faithful have denied themselves nourishment throughout the daylight hours. While fasting (sawm) has definite health benefits, it is done for spiritual reasons as those who sacrifice acknowledge that God is the true source of their sustenance. Fasting highlights our dependence on God and reminds us that “humans should not exist through food alone, but by every word that comes from God’s mouth.” (Matthew 4:4)
While fasting forces the worshipper to look inward, it also has an outward dimension. Those who refrain from readily available food have entered into solidarity with countless others who are deprived of food, shelter, clothing and power in this world of plenty. For thirty days, they learn what it means to do without.
However, Ramadan means absolutely nothing if after the fast is over, people revert to selfish lives that ignore the greater needs of society. The meaning of the fast is exhibited in a life of charity in which believers share God’s beneficent mercy to the least in our communities. The prophet Isaiah expounds further on the spiritual fast. Listen:
“Is this not the fast that I have chosen:To loose the bonds of wickedness,to undo the heavy burdens,to let the oppressed go free,and that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;when you see the naked, that you cover him,and not hide yourself from your own flesh?” (Isaiah 58:6-7)
Prayer: In the name of God the merciful and compassionate, I thank You for the lessons from the fast. Please fill me with Your spirit so that I can accomplish the fast You have chosen—to feed the hungry, help the oppressed and demonstrate Your love and grace to everyone I meet. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.

To the Believer of the Commands of the Creator of Adaam(as) the Completion of SharRamadhaan is the FulFillment of the Orders of Allaah
For the acceptance by Allaah for the Believers Joys and Actions
Thank You for your attempt at Understanding the Words of the Creator of Adaam(as)
But the Believer does not shorten a Surah---the explanation of AlQur'aan should not shorten the Surat---the Whole understanding should be recited and understood.....
SuratulBalad is referring to the victory of Mohamed(saw) into Makkah
Sûrat Al-Balad
(The City) XC
In the Name of Allâah,the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
1. I swear by Makkah
2. And you are free from sin, and to punish the enemies of AlIslâam on the Day of the conquest in Makkah.[1]
3. And by Adaam Úáíå ÇáÓáÇã and the Family of Adaam Úáíå ÇáÓáÇã
4. We have created man in toil
5. Does he think that none can overcome him?
6. He says boastfully: "I have wasted wealth in abundance!"
7. Does he think that none see him?
8. Have We not made for him two eyes,
9. And a tongue and two lips?
10. And shown him the ways of good and of evil?
11. But he has not attempted to pass on the path that is steep; the path which will lead to goodness and success.
12. And what will make you aware of the path that is steep?
13. It is freeing a Muslim slave)[2]
14. Or giving food in a day of hunger or famine,
15. To an orphan near of kin.
16. Or to a Miskîn (poor) cleaving to dust; out of misery.
17. Then he became one of those who believed Monotheism and recommended one another to perseverance and patience, and also recommended to one another; pity and compassion.
18. They are those on the Right Hand or the dwellers of Paradise,
19. But those who disbelieved in Our Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations), they are those on the Left Hand; the dwellers of Hell.
20. The Fire will be shut over them and they will be enveloped by the Fire without any opening or window or outlet.[3]
[1] (V.90:2)
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbâs ÑÖí Çááå ÚäåãÇ: On the day of the conquest of Makkah, Allâah’s Messenger Õáì Çááå Úáíå æÓáã said, "Allâah has made this town a sanctuary. Its thorny bushes should not be cut, its game should not be chased, and its fallen things should not be picked up except by one who would announce them publicly." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.2, Hadith No. 657)
[2] (V.90:13) Narrated Abu Hurairah ÑÖí Çááå Úäå: The Prophet Õáì Çááå Úáíå æÓáã said: "Whoever frees a Muslim slave, Allâah will save all the parts of his body from the Hell Fire, as he has freed the body-parts of the slave." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol.3, Hadith No.693).
[3] (V.90:20) "Therein breathing out with deep sighs and roaring will be their portion, and therein they will hear not. **"AlQur’âan, Verse 21:100
**Ibn Mas‘ûd ÑÖí Çááå Úäå recited this Verse and then said: "When those who are destined to remain in the Hell-fire forever will be thrown in the Hell-fire, each of them will be put in a separate Tabût (Box) of Fire, so that he will not see anyone punished in the Hell-fire except he himself."
Then Ibn Mas‘ûd recited this Verse (V.21:100). [Tafsîr Ibn Kathîr, Tabarî and Qurtubî].
