Columbia, June 26: Around the world, so many theories and researches are being done about Islam, Hadith and Quran, to give misconceive on Allah's saying. Whereas on the other hand it was scientifically proves that every word and saying of Allah is true.
As Ramadan is coming ahead which is due on August 11 as per a Saudi astrologer, US researchers gave the statement that Pregnant Muslim women cannot fast during Ramadan, which as now will add fuel to the above notion.
Allah clearly says about Ramadan in Quran that:
[2:183] O you who believe, fasting is decreed for you, as it was decreed for those before you, that you may attain salvation.
[2:184] Specific days (are designated for fasting); if one is ill or traveling, an equal number of other days may be substituted. Those who can fast, but with great difficulty, may substitute feeding one poor person for each day of breaking the fast. If one volunteers (more righteous works), it is better. But fasting is the best for you, if you only knew.
Research work
Pregnant Muslim women who fast during Ramadan are likely to have smaller babies who are more prone to learning disabilities, a new study has found by US researchers.
Researchers from the U.S said this trend was most marked if mothers-to-be fasted early on in their pregnancy and during the summer when longer days meant they went more hours without food.
They also found that the women were 10 per cent less likely to give birth to a boy if they had fasted.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and a time when Muslims across the world fast from dawn until sunset.
Fasting during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam and many women may fear a loss of connection with their communities if they did not observe it.
Women who request an exemption from fasting are expected to make up the days they have missed after their baby is born.
The study was based on census data from the US, Iraq and Uganda. It also revealed that the long-term effects on the adult's health impacted on their future economic success.
Study author Douglas Almond, of Columbia University said: 'We generally find the largest effects on adults when Ramadan falls early in pregnancy.
'Rates of adult disability are roughly 20 per cent higher, with specific mental disabilities showing substantially larger effects.
'Importantly, we detect no corresponding outcome differences when the same design is applied to non-Muslims.'
Although it was mention in the Quran, that keeping fast in Ramadan for the pregnant women is mandatory. It was clearly said by sholars and Ismalic preachers that if a women's health wont support her in keeping fast then she can skip it. But in result, if a women who keeps fast will have no effect on her health as Allah always love His people and everything done by Him is benefitial to our life only.
