Shahr-e-Ramadan - The Month of Revelation - Dr. Israr Ahmad

Dr. Israr Ahmad discusses the significance of Ramadan, exploring its etymology and connection to divine names. He explains the concept of gradual revelation (tanzil) of the Quran over 23 years, contrasting it with immediate descent (inzal). The lecture draws parallels between the obligatory fasts of Ramadan, the voluntary fasts in Sha'ban, and the six fasts of Shawwal, equating them to a year-long practice of devotion. Dr. Ahmad highlights the difference between ‘inzal’ (immediate descent) and ‘tanzil’ (gradual revelation), mirroring the distinction between ‘ilam’ (information) and ‘ta’lim’ (education) – a step-by-step process of imparting knowledge. He emphasizes that the purpose of revelation is to guide and educate humanity.
