Ramadan Mubarak
Ramadhan or ramjan is one kind of ritual performed by all muslim people in whole over the world in a specific time in a year. Ramadan also spelled Ramazan, Ramzan, Ramadhan, or Ramathan. It is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting (sawm), prayer (salah), reflection, and community. Ramadan is regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Ramadan for all adult Muslims who are not acutely or chronically ill, travelling, elderly, breastfeeding, diabetic, pregnant, or menstruating. The spiritual rewards (thawab) of fasting are believed to be multiplied during Ramadan. Accordingly, during the hours of fasting, Muslims refrain not only from food and drink, but also tobacco products, sexual relations, and sinful behavior, devoting themselves instead to prayer and study of the Quran. Ramadan is considered one of the holiest months of the year for Muslims. In commemoration of the revelation the Qur’an, which began in the month of Ramadan, Muslims attempt to read Qur'an during Ramadan. The entire Qur’an is also recited during special nightly prayers which is known as “Tarabee”. A Muslim family usually rises before dawn and eats a meal called suhur (seheri). At sunset, family members break the fast with a few dates and water, and depending on the culture, other light foods or fruit. This is referred to as iftar which means breaking the fast. Ramadan is a time for Muslims to be especially charitable and fasting & helps Muslims feel compassion for the hungry and less fortunate people. In other hand Doctors are also agree that fasting is extremely beneficial for lowering cholesterol levels and for other health benefits. Fasting is a means of purifying the body as well as the spirit, as it gives the body a rest from the continuous task of digesting food. So, the importance & benefits level of Ramadah is too high. And at the end of Ramadan, Muslims celebrate one of their major holidays called Eid ul-Fitr or the “Festival of the Breaking of the Fast.”
