Ramadan is the month of fasting. Fasting is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. During Ramadan, fasting isn’t just accomplished by abstaining from food and drink, it also involves refraining from sinful acts such as cursing, lying, and bad intentions.
Ramadan falls on the ninth lunar month in the Islamic Calendar. Therefore, the month of Ramadan rotates every year.
The beginning of a fast is initiated with a prayer of intention. Ramadan is believed to be the month in which the Holy Qur’an was revealed to Prophet Muhammad, as a guidance for all mankind.
Eating dates is a popular way to break the fast. The health benefits of dates are vast. They contain natural sugars, are high in fibre, are excellent for digestion, high in countless vitamins and nutrients.
Ramadan is celebrated with generosity and giving. The reward for charity and benevolence in this month are immense. It is known as a month of humbleness and simplicity, and to remember those who are less fortunate than us.
