RAMADAN

Ramadan is an important festival celebrated by Muslims to commemorate the day when the Holy Quran was sent by Allah, to serve as a counsel for men in 615 AD. Ramadan is a 1 month long festival observed earnest prayers, and fasting from to food to purify the body and soul, and become closer to God. This period of fasting ends when the crescent moon becomes visible on the western horizon. As Ramdan ends, Id-Ul-Fitr (the feast of fast-breaking) commences and is celebrated for 3 days.
While fasting from dawn until sunset, Muslims refrain from consuming food, drinking liquids and smoking. Muslims are also instructed to refrain from sinful behavior that may negate the reward of fasting, such as false speech (insulting, backbiting, cursing, lying, etc.) and fighting except in self-defense.Food and drinks are served daily, before dawn and after sunset, referred to as Suhoor and Iftar respectively.Spiritual rewards (thawab) for fasting are also believed to be multiplied within the month of Ramadan. Fasting for Muslims during Ramadan typically includes the increased offering of salat (prayers), recitation of the Quran and an increase of doing good deeds and charity.
