The much awaited month ....
Greetings!!! Happy to see all the members back here, after a short break. Was much busy with the cleaning process for the much awaited Ramadan month. In other words, where one can attain more rewards by their action - the month of blessed rewards. The month of fasting with great inner peace by constant and continuous prayers and charity.
To brief about this month precisely-
During this month, one abstains themselves from one of the most important basic necessity, food and water, from dawn to sunset. They keep away themselves, from all kinds of entertainment spending more time in prayers and doing good for the needy. The necessary amount of food and more intake of water should be taken before dawn and until sunset.
A month where the hatred within you should be erased and love should be generated. Hope what is said should be followed. All this increases the peace and tranquility within you. To know yourself better be at peace.
In accordance with this month one should help the needy generously. The more you give the more you are rewarded. This is called 'zakat'. Zakat can be in any form, maybe by giving money or by giving food and clothes. This act of humanity called charity is well appreciated. But we do expect the same to be continued even after this period..
There is a scientific side of this fasting. It is said that long hours of fasting can release the toxins from your body. It is also understood from reliable sources that fasting once a while can lower your blood sugar level and boost your immune system.
Last and final aspect, in the sunset when one breaks the fast more amount of water is advised to be consumed . It can be in the form of fruits. Better to focus on one particular fruit rather than a number of fruits. Better to avoid fruits that are sour. Too much spicy and oily foods are also to be avoided. All these for the smooth functioning of our body system during this period.
Thank you for teaching me about your culture, I have always heard of this celebration but it is good to hear about it from an expert.
