Why Is The Month Of Ramadan Special For Muslims?

Ramadan 2023: Conduct Umrah during the sacred month 

• The Act of fasting: Almost every Muslim, across the globe, considers fasting to be able to attain the mercy and the blessings of the Almighty Allah (SWT). With the act of fasting, every Muslim do learn to grasp the meaning of being able to sacrifice for all their desires and also to stay true to their own religion in the most religious way. Muslims who are physically able to fast must abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs from morning to the time they sun goes down. Fasting is considered an act of worship and obedience to Allah (SWT) and it is a way for Muslims to discipline themselves and purify their souls. Fasting during Ramadan also teaches Muslims to have compassion for the less fortunate and to be grateful for what they have.
  
  
• Quranic recitation: Ramadan is also a time for Muslims to focus on the Holy Quran, which is the holy book of Islam. Muslims believe that the Holy Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) during the month of Ramadan. Therefore, it is traditional for Muslims to read and recite the Holy Quran during this month. Many Muslims try to complete the entire Holy Quran at least once during Ramadan, and they often gather together for group recitation and study sessions.
  
  
• Increased prayer and spiritual reflection: During Ramadan, Muslims also increase their prayer and spiritual reflection. Many Muslims attend the mosques more frequently, and they spend more time praying and reflecting on their faith. Muslims are encouraged to reflect on their lives and to make positive changes, both inwardly and outwardly, during Ramadan. They are also encouraged to seek forgiveness for their sins and to try to improve their relationships with Allah (SWT) and with others.
  
  
• Community and charity: Ramadan is also a time for community and charity. Muslims are encouraged to gather together with family and friends to break their fasts and to share meals. This is a time for Muslims to strengthen their relationships with others and to show compassion and generosity. Muslims are also encouraged to give to charity during Ramadan, and many organizations and individuals organize food drives, clothing drives, and other charitable efforts to help those in need.
  
  
• Eid al-Fitr: The end of Ramadan is marked by a holiday called Eid al-Fitr, which is one of the most important celebrations in the Islamic calendar. Eid al-Fitr is a time for Muslims to gather together, to celebrate their faith, and to express gratitude for Allah's (SWT) blessings. Muslims often wear new clothes, exchange gifts, and share meals with family and friends during Eid al-Fitr. It is a time of joy, celebration, and unity for Muslims around the world.
