Ramadhan is back!!!!!!

As everyone known that in this month,
as a muslim, we must fasting full in this holy month...
Fasting is one of the five pillars (duties) of islam.
it is serve many purposes. while they are hungry and thirsty,
Muslim are reminded of the suffering of the poor.
Ramadhan is a time to fast for the sake of god, and to offer more prayer than usual.
During ramadhan,
Muslim ask forgiveness for past sins,
Pray for guidance into the future,
Ask for help in refraining from everyday evils
And.....
Try to purify themselves through self-restraint
and Good deeds.
During the blessed month of ramadhan,
Muslim all over the world wake up early morning( just before Fajar- morning prayer) to keep a fast(sawn). This moment is call Sheri in islam. So a muslim would eat something and then go without food and water during daylight hours. After they have spent all day striving and exercising good behaviour and prayer on their empty stomachs, they are then permitted to open their fast with a date as Prophet MUHAMMAD (saw) would open his fast with a date
or glass of water. This moment is called Iftari in islam and takes place within maghrib prayer which is calculated to be near-sunset. We are then allowed to eat and attend nightly sunnah prayer (known as taraweeh prayer) and after a short sleep we awake for sheri time and hence the same routine carries on for 30 days and 30 night.



Its a struggle but its beautiul as we share the pain
and.....
reflect with those humans who have no food
or......
water in our world and this is a sign that we are with them
and.....
love them.
