Celebrate The Arrival of Ramadhan

This article is discussing about religious observances during the month of Ramadan that takes place during the ninth month of the islamic calender. It is the month in which the Qur'an began to be revealed and the Islamic month of fasting, which Muslims don't eat or drink anything from sunrise until sunset. The objective of fasting is to teach us the patience and humility. The most important event of this month is the fasting practiced by the most observant Muslims. In this month we are encouraged to put more effort into following the teachings of Islam and to avoid obscene and irreligious sights and sounds. Sexual activities during fasting hours are also forbidden. Purity of both thought and action is necessary by cleansing the inner soul and free it from harm. It can inculcate a feeling of peace and calm. It also allows Muslims to practice self-discipline, sacrifice, and sympathy for those who are less fortunate, making Muslims more generous and charitable. Muslims can eat after the sun has set. Pregnant women, the elderly, the ill, travellers and children who have not reached puberty are all exempt from fasting as lack of food and liquid in these situations could be hazardous to health. In addition, we are urge to read the whole Qur'an. Muslims tend to perform the recitation of the entire Qur'an in special prayers, called Tarawih, which are held in the mosques every night of the month. Besides, muslims also must pay Zakat. Since, it is a festival of sharing and giving. Muslims prepare special foods and buy gifts for their family and friends and for giving to the poor and needy who cannot afford it, There is also a social aspect involved - preparation of special foods and inviting people for the Iftar meal. We as a muslim should take this opportunity wisely in order to get God blessing in this precious month all over the year.
