By Dr. Meher Zaidi.
Ramzan comes with good news for all the Muslims to renew and re-pledge their commitment to humanity and to do good deeds. The ritual of fasting inculcates a discipline in the self to look at the rights of other fellow human beings and come out of the ego-centric self. The supreme form of worship of Allah is to give everything to fellow human beings in order to please Him.The Prophet of Islam (May peace and blessings be on him forever) made exemplary his life by showing simple deeds like charity and eating less and wearing simple things.His daily use things were simple and when he died he left a straw mat for a bed and needle and thread with which he repaired his patched clothes. The impact he made on humanity was greatest by his exemplary character of which the most outstanding aspect was his love and caring for humanity and tolerance. The Quran says of the people who are true believers that "Those who give whatever they give while their hearts are fearful because they will be returning to their Lord" (Surah Al-Muminun) and "It is those who hasten to do good deeds, and they outstrip(others) therein' (Surah Al-Muminun).
