THE STRATEGIC SIGNIFICANCE OF
THE FAST OF RAMADAN & ISRA AND MIRAJ
by: Imran N. Hosein
Section 1: The Strategic
Significance of the Fast of Ramadan
This section attempts to demonstrate that the fast of
Ramadan was meant to play a strategic role in mobilizing
the Muslim community for consolidation of its unity,
solidarity, faith and morale, and for building that power
with which to resist aggression, deter the aggressor,
liberate the oppressed and validate the Truth. The trust
of the argument is located in the analysis of the
chronological sequence of the simultaneous divine
promulgation of three things: i) change in Qibla; ii)
promulgation of the obligation to engage in Qital
(fighting); iii) promulgation of the fast of Ramadan! The
greatest dimension of power is 'internal' power. When we
fast for Allah, it teaches us to live for Allah. Only
those who live for Allah would be ready to die for Allah.
Power on the battlefield is not possible unless one is
prepared to die for the cause for which one fights.
Section 2: The Strategic
Significance of the Isra' and Miraj
The second section of this book looks at the spiritual,
scientific, epistemological, political, theological and
strategic implications of the Isra and Miraj of the Holy
Prophet Muhammad (s). The miraculous journey to Jerusalem
established, for all times to come, the spiritual
authority of Prophet Muhammad over the holy city. The
Jewish claim to Jerusalem is now invalidated. Only the
followers of Muhammad (s) have the right to control
Jerusalem.
