#RAMADANKAREEM

The ninth month of the Islamic calendar, Ramadan (or Ramzan) is one of the five pillars of the Islamic faith involving fasting from dawn to dusk. This month is believed to be the month when Allah had revealed the verses of the Quran to Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) for the first time on “Laylat al-Qadar” or the “The Night of Power”. On this day, considered as the holiest night of the year, blessings are abundant, and all sins are forgiven. 

This month mandates a fast from all members of the Islamic community and is considered to be undertaken for the realization that human life is extremely frail and depends upon the Almighty for sustenance and abundance. At the end of the month, Eid-al-Fitr is celebrated with great fanfare as family and friends meet and dine together.
