Ramadan 2015: Waiting for the Moon

Ramadan is just a few days away and like millions of people out there, me and my friends are also waiting for the full moon to appear so that Muslims can start their fasting.

I am not a Muslim by religion, but I have many Muslim friends and they all celebrate the festival and do fast. I love to join them in the occasion as I like the concept of fasting and offerings during the holy month of Ramadan. My friends tell me a lot about Quran rules and saying and I like them all.

Ramadan Kareem Wishes 2015

Recently, I came to know even more about the saying of Quran through this blog I visited recently. What I learned is

During the month of Ramadan, you are supposed

• Do a month of fasting everyday from Sunrise to Sunset
• Not to eat food during the daytime
• No water during daytime
• No swearing and sex
• No smoking or other bad deeds

Importance of the month of Ramadan

• It’s a time of spiritual reflection and learning
• A time for reestablishing one’s relationship to God
• And looking at the kind of Muslim (and human being) you have been over the past year 

Why do fasting?

• Some believe abstaining from food allows for a spiritual nurturing from God, through sacrifice and avoidance of the multiple temptations we come across throughout the day that may lead us away from the “straight path.”
• Experiencing real hunger allows those blessed with abundance to develop empathy for those who are not, as well as gratitude for things we take for granted almost every day, like food in the cupboard.
