What is Ramadan?
Ramadan is basically the name of a month of the Arabic calendar. However, the importance of this month is much more than that of other months for Muslims. This is because holy fasting is celebrated in the month of Ramadan. Allah Almighty has forbidden to eat and drink at day time during the holy month of Ramadan for the Muslims. Until sunrise to sunset, Muslims refrain them from eating anything. At night, they pray ‘Taraweeh prayer’.
The blessing is much more in Ramadan than other months. At this month, the reward is 70 times more for every prayer and ‘Ibadah’. Besides, the torrent of the grave remains stopped in the month of Ramadan. Ramadan ends when the moon of Shawwal month appears. Ramadan, the most sacred and blessed month for the Muslims, will come in front of us in a few days. In a single word, Ramadan is a very sacred month for Muslims.
