ADDRESS TO THE NATION BY THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA, HER EXCELLENCY SMT. PRATIBHA DEVISINGH PATIL ON THE EVE OF THE 64TH INDEPENDENCE DAY
New Delhi, 14th August 2010
My Fellow Citizens,
On the eve of our 64th Independence Day, I extend my warmest greetings to all of you from all walks of life, living in India and overseas. I convey special greetings to the brave personnel of our Armed Forces and the Para-military forces who guard our frontiers and to our Central and State police, as well as our internal security forces. I also compliment every citizen of this country whose hard work, productive prowess and enterprising zeal have put India among the front ranks of the nations of the world. I convey my heartfelt condolences to all those who have lost their loved ones, suffered injuries and whose properties have been destroyed in the recent cloud burst in Leh.
Dear Citizens,
Every year, we celebrate our Independence Day with great fervor as well as joy and justifiably so, as it commemorates that day, when after many years of subjugation, our country gained its freedom. Indeed, in the annals of history, 15th of August 1947 will always be remembered as a day of an extraordinary accomplishment, of when India won its freedom with unparalleled fortitude and unique means. Under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, our movement for attaining freedom through Ahimsa and Satyagraha spread throughout the country, inspiring people in a manner rarely seen. Millions and millions of our men and women, willingly and enthusiastically responded to his call. They united to become an immense force that defeated the mightiest colonial power. Free India, was thus born.
As citizens of free India, we must reflect on the values and principles which were in the minds and hearts of those who fought and sacrificed for our freedom. They drew inspiration from the values nurtured in the country through millennia. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru once described Gandhiji as, "embodying the old spirit of India, who held aloft the torch of freedom". Gandhiji's thoughts and his life were truly an expression of the philosophy of our ancient civilization in which peace and harmony, non-violence and truth, human dignity and compassion were given great prominence. Are we now forgetting these principles? Are we overlooking them? No, we should not. These are eternal values, which have sustained our nation, our society and also each one of us as individuals. Gandhiji's thinking continues to have deep influence and is of increasing relevance in the world, with 2nd October, his birthday, being observed every year as the International Day of Non-Violence.
Dear Citizens,
We are at a historic phase when the world is shifting course. It is impacting our economy, polity, trade, commerce, education and pace of life. In this era of transformation, India definitely cannot lag behind. Our entire effort must be to ensure that there is overall development in which all people prosper. However, can our political approaches, economic progress and scientific advances be combined with values of human welfare, tolerance, mutual respect and selflessness propounded by learned men, leaders, philosophers and thinkers of our country? Our past and our future are linked. The future beckons us and the past guides us.
What has been our past? India, a mature and a harmonious society, had a rich tradition of learning and a philosophy based on experiences and knowledge of thousands of years. Swami Vivekananda spoke of India as, "the ancient land, where wisdom made its home before it went into any other country". Ours is a land where religions have taken birth and all religions of the world have found a place. Ours is a land where different languages, cultures and customs flourished. So well known was India for its piety, scholarship and centres of study, that it attracted travellers from across the world. From early times, India always looked at progress and moral growth as mutually inclusive rather than mutually exclusive concepts. India's depth of thought was matched by its material prosperity. Its fine goods, its spices, its silk, its cotton, were much sought after. India's traders went to distant lands both to the East and the West, carrying with them not only goods from India, but also its reputation as a land of great culture and wealth.
We are the inheritors of this great civilization whose legacy has been passed on from generation to generation. We can be worthy heirs if we follow, in the true sense, the ideals of political, social and economic justice. Lip service will not do. We have to be ardent adherents. We are also duty-bound to pass on this rich inheritance to our younger generation - the 540 million youth. We place great hope on them and rightly so. They have been demonstrating their capabilities and strengths in various fields of human activity in India and abroad. Whether in multi-national business enterprises or the IT industry or financial organizations or global scientific bodies, young Indians are joining their ranks and making their mark. In sports, they have been bringing laurels to the country. Our youth are the architects of the nation's future. We must educate them and inculcate in them a spirit of sacrifice, dedication, patriotism and service to the nation. This way, they would be ready to face the future with confidence and build on the achievements made so far.
Dear Citizens,
Where does our country stand today? Our credentials as the world's largest democracy have been further reinforced with the deepening of democracy at all levels. We have elected bodies existing from the national to the grassroot level. Democracy has given citizens the right to participate in the affairs of the nation. It has become a way of life in India. On the economic front, we are ranked as the world's fourth largest economy based on purchasing power parity and one of the fastest growing. The resilience of our economy was evident during the global financial crisis which we weathered, better than many other countries. The future holds great potential and promise. However, many issues demand attention and the way we address them is important.
Foremost, among our tasks is to ensure the welfare of all. It is for this reason that India has adopted inclusive growth as a pillar of its economic edifice and is pro-actively pursuing it. Our task will be complete only when no one sleeps on a hungry stomach, when no one sleeps on the footpath and when every child is in school. Therefore, fittingly, education, capacity building, housing, healthcare and nutrition are a priority on the agenda of the Government. All of us should also pause to think how as responsible citizens, each one of us can contribute to Government efforts in these areas. It is a huge task to be achieved for a billion plus population, but we should not be overwhelmed. In every village and in every colony of every town, city or metropolis, people can come forward to form groups to work for the disadvantaged. Some amongst us may ask, what difference can these small efforts make? For them, I recall a story of a man walking down a beach, moments after a storm. He noticed a person ahead of him picking up starfish washed ashore and throwing them back into the sea. He asked the person how his efforts could make any difference, as the beach was long and there were lakhs of starfish washed ashore who would die. The person looked at the starfish in his hand and threw it into the water saying, "it makes a difference to this one". The message is clear - every effort, big or small, does make a difference.
Dear Citizens,
I believe that empowerment through education is important as it opens many doors of opportunity. The Right to Education Act has made free and compulsory primary education for children a fundamental right. It is important that secondary education is also universalized, as we seek to increase enrollment levels in higher education. This will provide the "brain power" for the nation. We are living in an age where innovation is shaping many areas of human activity. New technologies can enhance our agriculture and industrial productivity. Efficient technologies can facilitate the optimum utilization of capital, labour and resources. We have seen the impact of mobile telephone connectivity even in our villages. Innovation and invention were always given weightage as agents of change but perhaps never as high as now. The categorization of nations as rich and poor, developed and developing may well be overtaken by a new definition of those nations that innovate rapidly, as opposed to those which do so on a lower scale. To be in the forefront of cutting edge technologies, research and development in all fields must be encouraged and pursued in the country.
We must also speed up the construction of physical infrastructure. We need new roads, ports, airports, power projects as well as reinforcement of existing facilities. The augmentation will fill the infrastructural deficit that impedes overall economic growth and is, in many ways, out of sync with our image of an emerging global player.
Our industries must continue to grow. Indian companies should persist with efforts to be efficient and globally competitive. Some are already making their presence felt overseas. Our agriculture requires a fresh perspective, with new and radical ideas to steer it towards a second Green Revolution, so that agriculture production, productivity and profitability are increased. This is essential for our food security as well as price stabilization. At the same time, agriculture cannot be looked at in isolation. It needs to be connected with other sectors of the economy. Linking industry with agriculture would provide a basis for growth of industry in the rural areas and also promote agriculture business. Models of farming which give economies of scale, while protecting the interests of the farmer must be explored. Efficient distribution networks that link farmers with the consumers should be encouraged, so as to bring greater remuneration to farmers for their produce, while giving a price advantage to the consumer. Value addition on-site will generate employment and income opportunities for the local population. Support to the rural poor and farm labour through skill development, vocational training and social welfare programmes, must be a priority. The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act is an important mechanism for providing livelihood. If specific local conditions are taken into account in its implementation and innovative approaches for convergence of various Government schemes encouraged, rural growth will be greatly enhanced. For example, agricultural productivity in rain fed areas can be increased with improved farm practices as well as conservation of soil and water, with the construction of farm ponds and village tanks and their proper upkeep and de-silting. Undertaking such activities in a coordinated manner can make a meaningful difference.
However, achievement of goals and targets is dependent on an effective governance structure. Powers have been given to those in Government for formulating policies and for implementation on the field. It should always be remembered that this power must be used in a responsible manner. Zero tolerance towards corruption and working with the highest standards of public service will definitely result in efficient governance systems and will have a multiplier effect on development and growth.
Dear Citizens,
We must be law abiding and also work for moral upliftment. I mention this because with an increasing emphasis on materialism, there is growing insensitivity towards each other. Strong family bonds are weakening. Social consciousness is on the decline. Some social evils persist. This must change. Today is the best opportunity when ground-breaking achievements alongwith a moral and ethical renaissance can take place. In this way, progress would be anchored in values of compassion, tolerance and selfless service, which are important for making human life meaningful and purposeful. These values will make our multi-cultural, multi-religious, multi-lingual society more robust. They will also give us a strong base on which a stable structure of prosperity and progress can be raised. For example, as a kite surges high into the sky, it is affected by the breeze and the clouds. If the string is firm and skillfully handled, the kite will stay afloat, otherwise it can go adrift, be cut off, fall and be destroyed. The kite is much like our growth voyage with the string and the firmness with which it is handled, representing the ethical base. India is the abode of infinite values - let us strive to restore these as we go along the path of progress.
Tomorrow's India will be constructed by the hard work of today. I call on all citizens to contribute to making the future of the nation, stronger and brighter. Let everyone understand their role and responsibility to achieve this. As I said earlier, every effort counts. Nation building demands the ability to work diligently and patiently, where the reward is the growth of the nation rather than personal promotion. It requires unity of purpose and the ability to focus on issues which unite. It requires a spirit of conciliation. This is possible when dialogue is chosen as the channel for communication. By listening to each other, respecting each other's viewpoint and understanding one another, we can address issues before us. The proponents of extreme ideologies and the followers of Left Wing Extremism must abandon their path of violence. I call on them to join national efforts for growth and development. I hope that everybody, including the civil society will come forward and move them in this direction. Protracted development efforts will be needed in these areas.
Dear Citizens,
India's growth and progress will take place in an environment that is also influenced by global events. We believe that peace is essential, if prosperity is to be achieved. Terrorism poses the biggest threat to global peace, stability and security. To defeat it, all nations of the world must work collectively, so that terrorists have no sanctuaries, no training grounds, no access to financial resources, no infrastructural support, and no defenders of their ideology. Violence and hatred can have no place in the world. Indeed, the interests that we share as human beings are far more powerful than forces which are divisive. Across the world, the message of peace and not of destruction must spread, if this Century powered by the most rapid advances in science and technology, is to be the Century of the most spectacular gains made by humankind, accompanied with human values. I am confident that India will contribute substantially to the forward march of the human race.
The human spirit has a tremendous capacity to reach new horizons. With faith in ourselves, faith in our capacity to work together and faith in success, we will continue our journey. We have the talent, to create a great nation; and with our collective will and hard work we will do so. And as we progress and as our flag proudly flutters, like it will tomorrow on Independence Day, we can with pride cite the lines of a well known Indian poet,
Which means:-
Across the skies your fame has spread,
with every breeze your strength grows.
With these words, I once again wish all Fellow Citizens peace, prosperity and progress on the occasion of Independence Day.
Jai Hind!

We have the talent, to create a great nation; and with our collective will and hard work we will do so. And as we progress and as our flag proudly flutters, like it will tomorrow on Independence Day, we can with pride cite the lines of a well known Indian poet,
Which means:-
Across the skies your fame has spread,
with every breeze your strength grows.
With these words, I once again wish all Fellow Citizens peace, prosperity and progress on the occasion of Independence Day.
Jai Hind!

PM's Independence Day Speech, 2010
August 15, 2010
New Delhi
Hindi Version
Dear citizens,
1. I greet you on the 63rd anniversary of our independence. When Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru unfurled the Tricolour on this historic Red Fort, on 15th August, 1947, he called himself the first servant of India. I address you today in the same spirit of service.
2. A few days back, many precious lives were lost in Laddakh due to a cloud burst. I convey my heart felt condolences to the family members and other near and dear ones of those who have perished. In this hour of grief, the whole country stands with the people of Laddakh. It is my assurance that the Central Government will do everything possible for rehabilitation of the affected people.
3. When I addressed you last year on Independence Day, our country was facing a number of difficulties. There was a drought like situation in many parts of the country. We were also affected by the global economic slow down. I am happy to say that we have acquitted ourselves well in these difficult circumstances. Despite many problems, the rate of our economic growth has been better than most other countries in the world. This shows the strength of our economy.
4. This strength has been evident not only in the last one year but also in our economic progress in the last many years. Today, India stands among the fastest growing economies of the world. As the world's largest democracy, we have become an example for many other countries to emulate. Our citizens have the right to make their voice heard. Our country is viewed with respect all over the world. Our views command attention in international fora.
5. All of you have contributed to India's success. The hard work of our workers, our artisans, our farmers has brought our country to where it stands today. I specially salute our soldiers whose bravery ensures the safety of our borders. I pay tribute to all those martyrs who have sacrificed their lives for our country.
6. We are building a new India in which every citizen would have a stake, an India which would be prosperous and in which all citizens would be able to live a life of honour and dignity in an environment of peace and goodwill. An India in which all problems could be solved through democratic means. An India in which the basic rights of every citizen would be protected. In the last few years, we have taken many significant steps in this direction. Every person living in rural areas now has the assurance of 100 days of employment through the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act. The Right to Information Act is helping our citizens to become more aware. This year our Government has enacted the Right to Education which will help every Indian to share in the benefits of the country's economic progress and also to contribute to it. To ensure equal partnership of women in our progress, we have taken initiative for reservation for women in Parliament and in State legislatures. Apart from this, reservation for women has been increased to 50 per cent in local bodies.
7. Despite our many strengths, we face some serious challenges. We should resolve today that we will meet these challenges as one people. Our society often gets divided in the name of religion, State, caste or language. We should resolve that we will not allow divisions in our society under any circumstance. Tolerance and generosity have been a part of our traditions. We should strengthen these traditions. As we progress economically our society should also become more sensitive. We should be modern and progressive in our outlook.
8. Our Government has laid special emphasis on the welfare of our farmers and on increasing agricultural production. After we came to power in 2004, we realized that the state of Indian agriculture in the preceding 7-8 years was not satisfactory. Our Government increased public investment in agriculture. We started new schemes for increasing production. We encouraged agricultural planning at the district level. I am happy that the growth rate of our agriculture has increased substantially in the last few years. But we are still far from achieving our goal. We need to work harder so that we can increase the agricultural growth rate to 4 per cent per annum.
9. Our Government wants a food safety net in which no citizen of ours would go hungry. This requires enhanced agricultural production which is possible only by increasing productivity. Our country has not witnessed any big technological breakthrough in agriculture after the Green Revolution. We need technology which would address the needs of dry land agriculture. In addition, our agriculture should also be able to deal with new challenges like climate change, falling levels of ground water and deteriorating quality of soil. In the history of Indian agriculture, Norman Borlaug commands a special place. About 40 to 50 years back he developed new and more productive seeds of wheat. Under the leadership of Smt. Indira Gandhiji, India achieved the Green Revolution by adopting these seeds. I am happy to announce that the Borlaug Institute of South Asia is being established in India. This institute would facilitate availability of new and improved seeds and new technology to the farmers of India and other countries of South Asia.
10. We have always taken care to provide remunerative prices to farmers so that they are encouraged to increase production. Support prices have been increased every year in the last six years. The support price for wheat was enhanced to Rs.1,100 per quintal last year from Rs.630 per quintal in 2003-04. In paddy, this increase was from Rs.550 per quintal to Rs.1,000 per quintal. But one effect of providing higher prices to farmers is that food prices in the open market also increase.
11. I know that in the last few months high inflation has caused you difficulties. It is the poor who are the worst affected by rising prices, especially when the prices of commodities of every day use like foodgrains, pulses, vegetables increase. It is for this reason that we have endeavored to minimize the burden of increased prices on the poor. Today, I do not want to go into the detailed reasons for high inflation. But, I would certainly like to say that we are making every possible effort to tackle this problem. I am also confident that we will succeed in these efforts.
12. It is obvious that any person or institution cannot spend more than his income over a long period of time, even if it is the Government. It is our responsibility that we manage our economy with prudence so that our development is not affected adversely in the future because of high debt. We import about 80 per cent of our requirement of petroleum products. After 2004, we have increased the prices of petroleum products much less compared to the increase in the price of crude oil in the international market. The subsidy on petroleum products has been increasing every year. It had become necessary therefore to increase the prices of petroleum products. If this had not been done, it would not have been possible for our budget to bear the burden of subsidy and our programmes for education, health and employment of the poor would have been adversely affected.
13. In the 63 years after independence, India has covered a long distance on the path of development. But our destination is still far away. A large part of our population still suffers from persistent poverty, hunger and disease. When our Government came to power in 2004, we resolved to build a new India under a progressive social agenda. We wanted the fruits of development to reach the common man. We initiated programmes especially targeted to the welfare of the socially and economically backward sections of our society. We still stand committed to the welfare of the poor, the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, minorities, women and other backward sections of our society. But today we do not need many new programmes to achieve our goals. However, we do need to implement the schemes we have already started more effectively, minimizing the chances of corruption and misuse of public money. We want to achieve this in partnership with the State Governments, Panchayat Raj Institutions and civil society groups.
14. Secularism is one of the pillars of our democracy. It has been the tradition of our country and society to treat all religions with equal respect. For centuries India has welcomed new religions and all have flourished here. Secularism is also our constitutional obligation. Our Government is committed to maintain communal peace and harmony. We also consider it our duty to protect the minorities and provide for their special needs. This is why we have started many new programmes in the last four years for the welfare of our brothers and sisters belonging to the minority communities. These include scholarships for minority students and special programmes for the development of districts which have a high concentration of minorities. These schemes have shown good results. We will vigorously take this work forward.
15. We have been giving special attention to education and health in the last six years. Improvement in these two areas is an important component of our strategy for inclusive growth. It is also necessary for higher economic growth in the years to come. After independence, these two areas could not get the importance they deserved. We tried to change this state of affairs in the 11th Plan. Today, almost every child in our country has access to primary education. Now, we need to pay more attention to secondary and higher education. We also need to improve the quality of education at all levels. It is our endeavour that every child, irrespective of whether he is rich or poor and which section of the society he belongs to, should be given an education that enables him to realize his potential and makes him a responsible citizen of our country. We will continue to implement the new schemes that we have started in the last six years in the areas of education and health with sincerity and hard work and in partnership with the State Governments. We will soon bring a Bill to Parliament for constitution of two separate councils in higher education and health respectively so that reforms in these two areas can be accelerated.
16. Nutritious food and good health services are necessary but not enough for ensuring good health of our citizens. We also need cleanliness and good sanitation in our villages, towns and cities. There are many diseases which would be difficult to prevent otherwise. The truth is that our country lags behind in this area. I consider it a primary responsibility of all our citizens to maintain cleanliness and hygiene around them. I would like our children to be taught the importance of cleanliness and hygiene in schools from the very beginning under a campaign for a Clean India. I appeal to the State Governments, Panchayat Raj Institutions, civil society groups and common citizens to make this campaign successful.
17. Mahatma Gandhi had said that our earth has enough for everyone's need but not for everyone's greed. Imprudent use of the earth's natural resources has resulted in the problem of climate change. We need to use our natural resources with care and prudence. It is our responsibility towards the coming generations to protect and preserve our forests, rivers and mountains. Our government will endeavour to take care of environmental concerns in our projects for economic development.
18. There is a large deficit in our physical infrastructure which affects our economic development adversely. There is a shortfall in the supply of electricity to industries. Our roads, ports and airports are not of world standards. We have been trying to increase electricity production and improve our roads, ports and airports. The resources required to create good physical infrastructure are difficult for the Government alone to mobilize. Therefore, we have endeavoured to involve the private sector in our efforts. The steps that we have taken after 2004 to improve our physical infrastructure have started bearing fruit now. About one and half a months back, I dedicated a new terminal of the Delhi airport to the nation. This is an excellent terminal which has been completed in record time. We will continue to make such efforts to improve our physical infrastructure.
19. There has been much discussion recently on the issue of internal security. If law and order in any part of India deteriorates or peace and harmony gets disturbed, the common man is adversely affected. Therefore, it is one of the primary responsibilities of any government to maintain law and order so that the citizens can live and earn their livelihood in an atmosphere of peace and harmony. Naxalism is a serious challenge to our internal security. I pay tribute to the men and officers of our security forces who have became martyrs in the attacks by naxalites in the last few months. I have stated this before and I say it again - our Government will fully discharge its responsibility to protect each and every citizen of our country. We will deal firmly with those who resort to violence. We will provide all possible help to State Governments to maintain the rule of law in areas affected by naxalism. I once again appeal to naxalites to abjure violence, come for talks with the Government and join hands with us to accelerate social and economic development. A few days back I took a meeting with the Chief Ministers of States affected by naxalism. We will fully implement the consensus that emerged in that meeting. I would like to repeat here a point that I made in that meeting. It is imperative that Centre and States work together to meet the challenge of naxalism. It would be very difficult for any State to tackle this problem without cooperation from the Centre and coordination between States. We all need to rise above our personal and political interests to meet this challenge.
20. As I have stated earlier, most naxalite affected areas lag behind in development. Many such areas also have a large concentration of our adivasi brothers and sisters. We want to end the neglect of these areas. I have asked the Planning Commission to formulate a comprehensive scheme towards this end, which we would implement fully. It is also our endeavour that our adivasi brothers and sisters join the mainstream of development. They have been dependent on forest produce for centuries and this dependence should not end without the creation of new sources of livelihood. Apart from adequate compensation for land which is acquired from them, we should also ensure that our adivasi brothers and sisters have a stake in the developmental project being undertaken.
21. I would like to state one more thing in this context. It is very necessary to make the administrative machinery more sensitive in areas affected by naxalism. The government officials who work there should not only be sincere but should also be alive to the special needs of our adivasi brothers and sisters. It is my hope that the State Governments will pay adequate attention to these requirements.
22. We have a special responsibility towards the States of the North East. We are trying to live up to that responsibility. The North Eastern part of our country has been witness to some unpleasant incidents in the recent months. I would like to convey to all political parties and groups of the North East that disputes in the name of State or tribe can only harm all of us. Discussion and dialogue are the only options to resolve complex issues. As far as the Central Government is concerned, we are ready to take forward every process of talks which could lead to progress in resolution of problems.
23. In Jammu and Kashmir, we are ready to talk to every person or group which abjures violence. Kashmir is an integral part of India. Within this framework, we are ready to move forward in any talks which would increase the partnership of the common man in governance and also enhance their welfare. Recently, some young men have lost their lives in violence in Jammu and Kashmir. We deeply regret this. The years of violence should now end. Such violence would not benefit anyone. I believe that India's democracy has the generosity and flexibility to be able to address the concerns of any area or group in the country. I recently participated in a meeting with political parties from Jammu and Kashmir. We will endeavour to take this process forward. I would like to convey to our countrymen, especially our citizens in Jammu and Kashmir and in the North East, that they should adopt democratic means to join hands with us for their and country's welfare.
24. We want prosperity, peace and harmony in our neighbouring countries. Whatever differences we have with our neighbouring countries, we want to resolve them through discussions. As far as Pakistan is concerned, we expect from them that they would not let their territory be used for acts of terrorism against India. We have been emphasizing this in all our discussions with the Pakistan Government. If this is not done, we cannot progress far in our dialogue with Pakistan.
25. I would also like to say something which is related to our glorious cultural traditions. The use of harsh and unpleasant words in our political discourse has increased in recent days. This is against our traditions of generosity, humility and tolerance. Criticism has a place of its own in a democracy and in a progressive society. However, criticism should not be undignified. We should have the capacity to reconcile opposite points of view on important issues through debate and discussion. I would request all political parties to consider this issue.
26. The Commonwealth Games will start in Delhi after about one and a half months. This will be a proud moment for the whole country and especially for Delhi. I am convinced that all our countrymen will treat the Games as a national festival and will leave no stone unturned to make them a success. The successful organization of Commonwealth Games would be another signal to the world that India is rapidly marching ahead with confidence.
27. Our future is bright. The day when our dreams will come true is not far off. Let us all resolve on this anniversary of our independence that we will keep the flag of our nation flying high. Let us march ahead together on the path of progress and prosperity.
28. Dear children, please say Jai Hind with me.

புகழ் அனைத்தும் அல்லாஹ் ஒருவனுக்கே. ரமளான் மாதத்தின் மாண்புகள் எத்தகையது? இதயத்தையும், பார்வையையும், செயல் களையும், ஒட்டுமொத்த வாழ்வையும் தூய்மைப்படுத்துகின்ற மாதம் தான் ரமளான் ! இதோ இன்னும் சில நாட்களே ! மீண்டும் வான்மறை வழங்கப்பட்ட வளமான மாதம், நன்மைகள் நிறைந்த புனிதமான மாதம், அல்லாஹ்வின் அருளும் மன்னிப்பும் நிறைந்த மாதம், எந்த மாதத்தை நபிகள் நாயகம் (ஸல்) அவர்கள் ஷஹ்ரே அஜீம், ஷஹ்ரே முபாரக் என்று வர்ணித்துச் சொன்னார்களோ அந்த மாதம், நம்மை எதிர்நோக்கி வந்து கொண்டிருக்கிறது. உண்மையில் இந்த மாதத்தின் ஒவ்வொரு நாளும் புனிதமான தூய்மையான நாளாகும். இந்த மாதத்தின் ஒவ்வொரு இரவும் அருள் நிறைந்த, பாக்கியம் நிறைந்த இரவாகும்.
நபிகள் நாயகம் (ஸல்) அவர்கள் கூறுகிறார்கள் : ரமளான் மாதம் வருகிறது. வானத்துக் கதவுகள் திறக்கப்பட்டு விடுகின்றன. அருள் வளங்கள் மழையாய் பொழிகின்றன. சுவனத்தின் கதவுகள் திறக்கப்பட்டு விடுகின்றன. நற்செயல்கள் நன்மைகளுக்கான பாதைகள் எளிதாக்கப்பட்டு விடுகின்றன. எல்லோருக்குமே நன்மை செய்வதற்கான வாய்ப்பும், அருளும் கிட்டுகிறது. நரகத்தின் கதவுகள் மூடப்பட்டு விடுகின்றன. தீமைகளின் பாதையில் முட்டுக்கட்டையாக நோன்பு வழி மறித்து நிற்கின்றது. ஷைத்தான்கள் விளங்குகளால் பூட்டப்பட்டு விடுகிறார்கள். தீமைகளைப் பரப்புவதற்கான வாய்ப்புகள் வெகுவாகக் குறைக்கப்பட்டு விடுகின்றன என்று நபிகளார் (ஸல்) அவர்கள் கூறிச் சென்றுள்ளார்கள். (புகாரி : அபூ ஹுரைரா ரலி)
இத்துனை அருள் வளங்கள் நிறைந்த புனித ரமளான் மாதம் நம்மை நோக்கி இதோ வந்து விட்டது. இறை கருணையும், அருள் வளங்களும், கிருபைகளும், இறை திருப்தியும், இறை மன்னிப்பும் பொதிந்து கிடக்கும் இந்த மாதத்தில் நாம் என்ன செய்ய வேண்டும். எனதருமை சகோதரர்களே நம்முடைய பாத்திரம் காலியாக இருக்கிறதே ! இந்த நிலை நமக்கு வேண்டாம். ஏதாவது நாம் செய்ய வேண்டும் நமக்குரிய இறையருள் பங்கை சேகரித்துக் கொள்ள நாம் உறுதியான எண்ணம் கொண்டு எழ வேண்டும் அப்பொழுதுதான் அதன் முழுப்பயனை அடைய முடியும்.
நபித்தோழர் அபூதர் (ரலி) அவர்கள் அறிவிக்கும் ஹதீஸ் : முஸ்லீம் ஷரீபில் பதிவு செய்யப்பட்டதை கவனித்தீர்களா? இறைவன் என்ன சொல்கிறான் அவனை நோக்கி ஓர் அடி முன்னேறினால் அவன் உங்களை நோக்கி இரண்டு அடி எடுத்து வைக்கிறான். நீங்கள் அவனை (இறைவனை) நோக்கி நடந்து சென்றால் அவன் உங்களிடன் ஓடோடி வருகிறான் என்று இறைவனே சொல்கிறான். எனவே நாம் ஒவ்வொருவரும் இப்புனித ரமளானை சிறப்பாகவும் சரியாகவும் பயன்படுத்துவேன் என்ற திடமான (நிய்யத்) எண்ணம் கொள்ள வேண்டும். அது தொழுகையாக இருக்கட்டும் அல்லது நோன்பாக இருக்கட்டும் அல்லது இதர ஏனைய வணக்க வழிபாடுகளாக இருக்கட்டும் எல்லாவற்றுக்கும் தொடக்கமாக (நிய்யத்) என்ற எண்ணம் அவசியமானதாக இருக்க வேண்டும். இந்த நிய்யத்துக்கான வாசகங்களை மனதால் நினைத்து நாவால் சொல்லாதவரை எந்த நற்செயலும் நிறைவேறுவதில்லை. நபிகள் நாயகம் (ஸல்) அவர்கள் கூறுகிறார்கள் செயல்கள் அனைத்தின் விளைவுகளும் எண்ணங்களைப் பொருத்தே அமைகின்றன. (புகாரி உமர் பின் கத்தாப்) அந்த எண்ணம் சரியானதாகவும் இருக்க வேண்டும். வாய்மையானதாகவும் இறைவனின் உவப்பை மட்டுமே ஆதரவு வைத்து ஒரே எண்ணத்திலேயே அனைத்து நற்செயல்களும் இருக்க வேண்டும். அப்பொழுதுதான் இறைவனின் அருள்வளங்களை அள்ளி நமது பாத்திரங்களை நிரப்ப முடியும். மேலும் நற்செயல்களில் (அமல்) ஈடுபட முனைந்து விட்ட பின் இந்த மாதத்தில் நாள்தோறும் என்ன செய்ய வேண்டும் எவையெல்லாம் இறைவனால் கடமையாக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது இறைத்தூதர் (ஸல்) அவர்கள் இந்த மாதத்தில் எப்படி அமல் செய்ய வேண்டும் என்று வலியுறுத்தி சொன்னார்களோ செய்தும் காட்டினார்களோ அதை அப்படியே கூடுதல் குறைவின்றி நானும் செய்வேன் என்றும் உறுதி பூண வேண்டும். அப்பொழுதுதான் நோன்பின் மாண்புகளை முழுமையாக அடைய முடியும்.
நோன்பின் மாண்பும் அதன் சிறப்பும் ஏராளம் அதைச் சொல்லிக் கொண்டே போகலாம். வாருங்கள் மேலும் சில நபிமொழிகளை பார்ப்போம். எல்லா நற்செயல்களுக்கும் கூலி தருபவன் அல்லாஹ் தான் என்றாலும் நோன்பை குறிப்பிட்டுச் சொல்லும் போது நோன்பு எனக்குரியது என இறைவனே கூறுகின்றான்.
நோன்பைத் தவிர ஆதமுடைய மகனின் ஒவ்வொரு செயலும் அவனுக்குரியதாகும் ! நிச்சயமாக நோன்பு எனக்கு (மட்டுமே) உரியது. அதற்கு நானே கூலி கொடுப்பேன் என்று அல்லாஹ் கூறினான். நோன்பு (பாவங்களிலிருந்து காக்கும்) கேடயமாகும் ! எனவே உங்களில் ஒருவர் நோன்பு நோற்றால் அவர் கெட்ட பேச்சுக்கள் பேச வேண்டாம் ! கூச்சலிட்டு சச்சரவு செய்ய வேண்டாம் ! யாரேனும் அவரை ஏசினால் அல்லது அவருடன் சண்டையிட்டால் நான் நோன்பாளி ! என்று அவர் சொல்லட்டும். முஹம்மதின் உயிர் எவன் கைவசம் உள்ளதோ ! அவன் மேல் ஆணையாக ! நோன்பாளியின் வாயிலிருந்து வீசும் வாடையாகிறது அல்லாஹ்விடம் கஸ்தூரியின் வாடையை விட விருப்பமானதாகும். நோன்பாளிக்கு இரண்டு மகிழ்ச்சிகள் உள்ளன. 1 நோன்பு திறக்கும் பொழுது அவன் மகிழ்ச்சியடைகிறான் 2 தன் இறைவனைச் சந்திக்கும் பொழுது நோன்பின் காரணமாக அவன் மகிழ்ச்சியடைகிறான் (புகாரி அபூ ஹுரைரா ரலி) மேலும் இம்மாதத்தின் மகத்துவம் குறித்து நபிகள் நாயகம் (ஸல்) அவர்கள் கூறினார்கள். ரமளான் மாதம் ஆகிவிட்டால் அருளின் வாயில்கள் திறக்கப்படுகின்றன. (முஸ்லிம் அபூ ஹுரைரா) மற்றொரு நபிமொழி திர்மிதியில் பதிவு செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளது ஒவ்வொரு நற்காரியத்திற்கும் பத்து முதல் எழுநூறு மடங்கு வரை கூலி கொடுக்கப்படுகிறது என்பதை அபூ ஹுரைரா (ரலி) அவர்கள் அறிவிக்கின்றார்கள்.
எனவே இந்த அருள்வளம் மிக்க ரமளான் மாதத்தில் ஒரு நொடி பொழுதையும் தவறவிடாமல் மிகுந்த பேணுதலுடன் நோன்பு நோற்று ஐந்து வேளை பர்ளு தொழுகையை ஜமாத்துடன் தொழுது, மேலும் சுன்னத்தான தராவீஹ் தொழுகை 20 (இருபது) ரகாஅத்துகளையும் தொழுது, நபில், தஸ்பீஹ் போன்ற நற்செயல்களில் அதிகம் கவனம் செலுத்தி நோன்பின் மாண்புகளை முழுமையாக பெற்று அல்லாஹ்வின் அருள் வளங்களை அள்ளி நமது பாத்திரங்களை நிரப்ப வேண்டும் என்று பிரார்த்தனை செய்கிறேன். அல்லாஹ் எனக்கும் உங்களுக்கும் நோன்பின் முழுப் பயனையும் தந்தருள்வானாக ! ஆமீன்
