Happy Ramadan to Everyone Around the World, now Remember this is a very special month to get in touch with god so use it well

Happy Ramadan.....


what is it exactly?

Happy Ramadan to you Mishari.

Muslims observe Ramadan by fasting from dawn to dusk on every day of the month. This is not so much decreasing your total food intake as altering the schedule of it. The fast is one of the 5 pillars of faith that all Muslims must try to perform. Exceptions are when you're sick or menstruating (in which case you make up the days you miss) or suffer from long-term poverty and malnutrition (in which case you're exempt). It is also a time to examine your behavior closely, to be mindful of your personal relationship with God and try to feel closer to Him, and to do good deeds for others (almsgiving and its more modern charitable counterparts are another pillar and are traditional during Ramadan).

Fasting has many purposes: to teach self-discipline, to bring you closer to God (every time you feel a hunger pang you will think of why you are voluntarily doing it), and to teach empathy with those who go hungry every day without a choice. Therefore, to receive the full spiritual benefit of this exercise, it has to be done willingly. It is not intended to bring hardship or pain, and it doesn't if practiced responsibly-- in fact, many Muslim children look forward to being old enough to fast (they often begin around age nine and start by fasting half-days the first year).

Hope i explained it.
