Hi All members,

Some members don't have any knowledge of what is the month of Ramadan all about.
So I'll try to elaborate on it a little bit and hope you'll like it.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and the most sacred of the twelve months. The name Ramadan derives from the Arabic word for intense heat and sun-scorched ground. A number of reasons have been advanced to explain the linguistic connection:

* It refers to the hot, dry sensation of thirst during this month of fasting
* Ramadan scorches out evil like the sun scorches the earth
* Just as heat shapes and influences all matter — organic and inorganic — so does Ramadan shape and influence the believer
Fasting

The Koran mandates fasting during the month of Ramadan:

The month of Ramadan is that in which the Koran was revealed, a guidance to men and clear proofs of the guidance and the distinction; therefore whoever of you is present in the month, he shall fast therein, and whoever is sick or upon a journey, then (he shall fast) a (like) number of other days... (sura 2.185, known as The Cow)

Fasting, or sawm, during the month of Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam.

Why fast?

* to develop patience and self-control
* to learn sympathy for the deprived
* to cleanse the body and mind
* to gain appreciation for Allah's bounty
* to demonstrate the depth of one's commitment
* to protect against sin. A hadith states: "Satan runs in the circulatory system of the son of Adam in the same way blood circulates in our system; so tighten his passages with hunger."

There are, then, three levels of the Ramadan fast:

* refraining from the physical things that are forbidden (performed with the mouth/stomach/sexual organs)
* restraining oneself from saying, hearing and looking at forbidden things (performed with the senses)
* renewing one's devotion to Allah (performed with the heart and mind).

Special meals are eaten before and after each day of fasting: suhoor before the dawn prayers, and iftar, the evening meal often eaten communally and often including dates.

I swore by the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, the breath of the faster is sweeter to Allah on the Day of Judgment than the scent of musk.

In addition, Ramadan is a time for increased devotion, reading of the Koran, self-improvement, community involvement, charity and good deeds.

He who does not desist from obscene language and acting obscenely, Allah has no need that he did not eat or drink.

If i made any mistakes or offended someone please correct me as i have no such intention.

Narmeen
