Ramadan Is The Ninth Month Of The Islamic Calendar, And

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and is the month of forgiving, praying, family gathering. All of these good things that we forget in our life, because of the work or life stress

For more than a billion Muslims around the world it is a "month of blessing" marked by prayer, fasting.

Muslims practice sawm, or fasting, for the entire month of Ramadan. This means that they may eat or drink nothing, including water, while the sun shines. Fasting is one of the Five Pillars (duties) of Islam. As with other Islamic duties, all able Muslims take part in sawm from about age twelve.

Muslims believe that during the month of Ramadan, Allah revealed the first verses of the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam to our prophet Muhammad. One night a voice called to him from the night sky. It was the angel Gabriel, who told Muhammad he had been chosen to receive the word of Allah. In the days that followed, Muhammad found himself speaking the verses that would be transcribed as the Qur'an.

At many mosques during Ramadan, about one thirtieth of the Qur'an is recited each night in prayers known as tarawih. One of the most important night in Ramadan it’s “Lelt alkadr “

Fasting serves many purposes. While they are hungry and thirsty, Muslims are reminded of the suffering of the poor. Fasting is also an opportunity to practice selfcontrol and to cleanse the body and mind. And in this most blessed month, fasting helps Muslims feel the peace that comes from holy care as well as relationship with fellow believers.

Ramadan ends with the festival of Eid al-Fitr,
