Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It’s a
time when Muslims everywhere the world abstain from eating, drinking and
smoking between sunrise and sunset.
Lasting around a month, it marks the period when the Qur’an
was first revealed to the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH). Extra tarawih prayers are
performed throughout Ramadan and each evening 1/30th of the holy book is recited.
By the end of Ramadan, many observers have read the entire Qur’an.
Fasting is one of the five columns of Islam, which are the
foundation of religion. The pillars are the framework by which Muslims all over
live, and Ramadan is considered the holiest time in the Islamic calendar. It is
a time for prayer, reflection and religious devotion, to cleanse past sins and
to concentration on Allah through good deeds.
