Ramadan!!

It's that time of the year.... RAMADAN!! 

           So for those who know me, you know I love Ramadan...!!! So for those of you who don't know about Ramadan, I will just provide some background info in case you are wondering like what it is. Uhm, ok so Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar and Muslims spend this month FASTING.. Yes, I said Fasting. But its not fasting the whole month, just from sunrise to sunset for either 29/30 days depending on the moon. So the word Ramadan comes from the arabic word, ramida or al-ramad, which means scorching heat or dryness. While fasting from dawn until sunset, Muslims refrain from consuming food, drinking liquids, smoking, and engaging in sexual relations, they also refrain from swearing. According to Islam, the rewards of fasting are many, but in this month they are believed to be MULTIPLIED...so say goodbye to those sins that we are not proud of. The month of Ramadan is considered to be the most sacred month of the Islamic calendar... Ramadan is a time of spiritual reflection, improvement of prayer and devotion to Islam. Sunset is the time to break your fast. TIME FOR FOOD.!!! So those of you that know and those that don't know, Muslims all over the world usually breaks fast with dates. It is said that Prophet Mohammad (Swt)(pbuh) broke his fast with just three dates. Following the Ramadan, comes the holiday known as Eid-Ul-Fitr, which means "festivity of breaking of the fast." ( I will blog about that later.)

Ramadan Kareem to Everyone all over the world. I pray that your duahs are accepted and sins are forgiven during this holy month :)
