The ninth month of the Islamic calendar, Ramadan, is one of the most important periods in the Muslim calendar. It is a time of spiritual awakening, self-evaluation and remembrance of Allah, which Muslims observe through fasting and prayer. Ramadan teachers Muslims self-discipline, humility and giving.
Charity is a significant part of Ramadan, and Muslims are expected to help the needy.
The intention of fasting
The intention to fast must be made before dawn, one and a half hours before sunrise. Fasting starts with a clear conscience and purity of mind and soul. It is not necessary to state the intention to fast verbally. A silent commitment to fast should be made as follows: I intend to fast.
