Ashraf Ali Thanwi’s guide emphasizes moral purification, taqwa, and avoiding sins to achieve true spiritual discipline during Ramadan.
Guidance on Fasting, Rituals, and Avoiding Sinful Acts During Ramadan
Tatheer-e-Ramzan by Ashraf Ali Thanwi is a comprehensive guide on the etiquettes and rulings of Ramadan, focusing on moral and spiritual purification. While the obligations of fasting and Tarawih are universally known, Thanwi emphasizes that the true essence of Ramadan lies in eliminating sinful behaviors that may escalate during this blessed month. Many people unknowingly indulge in prohibited acts, thinking their usual sins are minor. Thanwi reminds readers that Allah has made even previously minor misdeeds more serious in Ramadan, and the purpose of fasting is to develop taqwa—conscious piety. This book guides believers to reflect on their actions, avoid negligence, and strengthen their moral and spiritual discipline. Through careful observation of Ramadan’s rules, self-restraint, and avoidance of major sins, one can truly experience the month’s spiritual benefits and achieve inner purification.
