RAMADAN OATH FOR STUDENTS
Fasting is meant to purify the body and
soul. During the month of Ramadan, devout adherents are supposed to pray and
reflect about the God and the self. However,
praying through the loud speakers defeats the very basic purpose. Such prayers do not purify the individual but
contaminates the environment and the surrounding areas with noise pollution.
Use of speakers before 6.00am or after 10.00pm is illegal and the perpetrators
are punishable. Because, the noise
pollution increases blood pressure and allied illnesses like heart attacks and
strokes. Noise depriving good sleep is a major cause for onset of many
diseases. Noise affects the students who are pursuing their studies. Observing
fasting during Ramadan requires getting up early in the morning. Free time during
mornings and evenings is not meant for playing and disturbing the residents of
the area. The free time is meant for
silent prayers. Resentment created in the neighborhood due to the noisy
observation of Ramadan affects social harmony.
I personally will not fast during Ramadan in this way. Instead, I pray
silently and encourage others to follow the suit and set a model for superior
spiritual practice. I will convey this message to my parents and all my
friends.
