Islam puts the spirituality of mankind in its proper context that fits with mans nature and which then drives his actions to what is right. In order to maintain that consciousness of Allah (swt) and the link with the spirit, our Prophet (saw) concentrated on worshipping Him (swt) during the day and night. Salat (prayer), Dhikr (remembrance) and Saum (fasting) were the main forms of regular acts of worship that Muslims should do following the Prophet’s (saw) for example. This strongly reinforces a person’s mentality to remember their submission to Allah (swt) and the way of life to which this leads. Despite all of this, there is still a strong temptation for mankind to deviate from the straight path. So Allah (swt) established for us the holy months so that we may further reinforce and train ourselves to fulfil our potential as human beings and seek His (swt) reward in doing so.
