Be helpful to all who needs you … in every moment of your life 

 Ramadan is the month in which Muslims refrain from eating, drinking and sexual intimacy with their partners during daylight hours. This aims to teach Muslims about patience, spirituality, humility and submissiveness to God. Each year depends on the moon.  It is the month in which the first verses of the Holy Quran were revealed to Prophet Muhammad.

Origin of Ramadan
The word Ramadan is derived from Arabic root R-M-D which means intense heat, scorched ground and shortness of rations. ‘Hilal’ is a day after the astronomical new moon. Muslims avoid obscene, irreligious sights and sounds. Sexual intercourse among couples is allowed after one has ended the fast.

Fasting
During fasting eating and drinking and resistance of all temptations is persuaded. There should be purity on both thoughts and action. The elderly, constantly and mentally ill are exempted from fasting. Pregnant woman are also exempted from fasting.

Prayers
Muslims are also encouraged to read entire Quran. The entire Quran is completed at the end of the month. As it is a festival of giving and sharing they prepare special foods and buy gifts for their family and friends. These are also offered to the poor and the needy.

Iftar
At sunset, the family gather and break the fast and this meal is known as Iftar. The meal starts with the eating of three dates.

Charity
Charity is important during Ramadan. The Muslims spend more in charity and many pay their ‘zakat’ during Ramadan, to receive the blessings. It is believed that if a person helps a fasting person to break their fast, then they receive a reward for that fast.

Id Ul Fitr marks the end of the fasting period of Ramadan and the first day of the following month after another new moon has been seen. Id ul Fitr means the back to the fitrah.
