Assalaamu alaikum.Peace be to you

Welcome Ramadan

I'd like to wish a Ramadan Mubarak to all Muslims around the world in this occasion of Ramadan of 1432 AH. may Allah increase our rewards in this blessed month and guide us to the right path.



The sacred month of Ramadan has come to visit us once again. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and a time when Muslims across the world will fast during the hours of daylight (Muslims refrain from eating, drinking and sexual activities from dawn until sunset). fasting during the month of Ramadan is the fifth pillar of Islam and it's obligatory on every adult Muslim able to do it.
The revelation of the Qur'an to the Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) started during this month. The actual night that the Qur'an was revealed is a night known as Lailat-ul-Qadr ('The Night of Power').

How do Muslims keep Ramadan?
Almost all Muslims try to give up bad habits during Ramadan, and some will try to become better Muslims by doing more good deeds and praying more or reading the Qur'an.
Many Muslims will attempt to read the whole of the Qur'an at least once during the Ramadan period. Many will also attend special services in Mosques during which the Qur'an is read.

Fasting is intended to help teach Muslims self-discipline, self-restraint and generosity. it also teaches them about patience, humility and spirituality. and reminds them of the suffering of the poor, who may rarely get to eat well.

It is common to have one meal (known as the suhoor), just before sunrise and another (known as the iftar), directly after sunset.

Because Ramadan is a time to spend with friends and family, the fast will often be broken by different Muslim families coming together to share in an evening meal.


Eid ul Fitr
The end of Ramadan is marked by a big celebration called 'Eid-ul-Fitr', the Festival of the Breaking of the Fast.

Muslims are not only celebrating the end of fasting, but thanking Allah for the help and strength that he gave them throughout the previous month to help them practice self-control.

The festival begins when the first sight of the new moon is seen in the sky.

There are special services out of doors and in Mosques, processions through the streets, and of course, a special celebratory meal - eaten during daytime, the first daytime meal Muslims will have had in a month.
Eid is also a time of forgiveness, and making amends.
During Eid-ul-Fitr Muslims dress in their finest clothes, give gifts to children and spend time with their friends and family.

At Eid it is obligatory to give Zakat (a charity to be given or used to help poor people buy new clothes and food so they too can celebrate).


I hope that was helpful

the Arabic writing in the drawing says "Ramadan Kareem" which means "Ramadan is generous"...because Ramadan is really generous and comes with all happiness to all people. and this, is from the great generosity of Allah[God].

Peace be to you all...
