What is Ramadan?

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by Muslims as a month to fast. It is also a time to give up bad habits and to grow stronger in faith. This celebration is very important in Islam.

Eid al-Fitr is a celebration that marks the end of Ramadan. Muslims can not only celebrate the end of their month of fasting but also thank Allah for the strength. We offer cheap umrah package during Ramadan.

Fasting During Ramadan

The concept of fasting during Ramadan is intended to teach Muslims self-discipline, self-restraint and generosity. It reminds us of the suffering of the poor, who may rarely get to eat a proper meal.

During Ramadan, Muslims will fast between sunrise and sunset. While fasting, participants must refrain from eating or drinking as well as smoking, bad language, sex, and other sinful behaviors.

Fasting is compulsory for Muslims who have passed through puberty, so long as they are healthy and able. Individuals are exempt from fasting. If any Muslim is disabled, suffering, or have a condition where they are more prone to complications, such as pregnancy.

Charity in Ramadan

Charity is the most important in Islam. Fasting is intended to remind Muslims of those less fortunate and to inspire them to make zakat(a charitable donation) during this period. Zakat is one of the compulsory pillars. Charity is one of the Blessings of Ramadan for poor Muslims.

Prayer and Reading the Qur’an

Ramadan is not only a time to fast; it is also a time for one to grow closer with their religious identity. This is why the observance of daily prayers and the reading of the Qur’an are also very important during the month of Ramadan.

Muslims will pray five times a day throughout the year. However, many will choose to fit in additional prayers during Ramadan. However, observing extra prayers during this time is a popular practice, and many observers will pray during the evening in addition to their five prayers. Allah gives us Hundred and thousand of Blessing of Ramadan.
