So as a Muslim it has
been 5 days since I’ve been fasting . People
might ask about the reason why Muslims fast during this month . First of all the month of Ramadan is when the
Holy Quran "was sent down from heaven” . It is The third
"pillar" or religious obligation , during this holly month we try to concentrate on our
faith , read Quran worship , give charity , basically be close to Allah , and becoming
a good person . The second thing is that through fasting we can experience
hunger in order to develop sympathy for the poor and appreciate everything god
gave us . Fasting is also beneficial to the
health and provides a break in the cycle of rigid habits or overindulgence.
Let’s talk about how
we deal with fasting . believe me when I tell you every single muslim wait for this time of the year with excitement because it’s very
beautiful how everyone become kind , how family is brought up together during
iftar’s time ( break the fast ). Sooo we arise early in the morning during
Ramadan to have a pre-dawn breakfast meal, known as suhoor. And obviously , during
the Fast of Ramadan we are not allowed
to eat or drink during the daylight hours. Smoking and sexual relations are
also forbidden during fasting. At the end of the day the fast is broken with
prayer and a meal called the iftar .(and miaaaaaamy this worths the pain off standing preparing different meals
) .
In addition to the five daily prayers, during
Ramadan we recite a special prayer
called the Taraweeh prayer (Night Prayer). The length of this prayer is usually
2-3 times as long as the daily prayers. Some people spend the entire night in prayer.
Anyway , Many people find that because they are fasting they
lose their tempers more quickly. So one of the first things that the fast teaches
is self-control and patience.well , fasting
teaches us different(good) things . I used to have a kinda depression before
starting this month . now it’s all gone . I feel so happy mashalah , thanks to God
