Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar during which Muslims fast from dawn to sunset. Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam and involves abstaining from food, drink, and other pleasures. The start and end dates of Ramadan shift each year based on the lunar calendar. During this month, Muslims prepare spiritually through prayer and good deeds. Fasting is meant to bring humility and draw people closer to Allah through self-control and reflection on faith.

2. What is Ramadan:
Ramadan,is the ninth month of Islamic
Lunar Hijri Calendar, is marked by religious
ritual of As-Saum (The Fasting), which is
one of the five Pillars of Islam. Fasting
starts from early dawn (Suhur /Sehri) till
sunset (Iftar). During this period one has to
abstain from eating or drinking. The Lunar
Calendar is 11 days shorter than the
Gregorian Christian solar calendar, and
hence the starting of the month of
Ramadan predates by 11 days its
occurrence in the previous Gregorian
calendar. Thus, the vagary of the changing
of the day time and night time gradually
gets assimilated uniformly in all parts of the
world.

8. Preparation for Ramadan begins with us
asking Allah that He will keep us alive till
Ramadhan.

10. Fasting is No t abo ut Die t o f buring
calo rie s .
BUT burning o f pride e g o and sins !

11. "Whoever fasts during Ramadan out of sincere faith and
hoping to attain Allah's rewards, then all his past sins will be
forgiven".
- Bukhari

13. Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “When the
month of Ramadan starts, the gates of the heaven are
opened and the gates of Hell are closed and the devils
are chained.”
(Sahih Bukhari )

15. What is Fasting?
In Ramadan, Muslims don't eat or drink
anything at all from dawn to sunset. This is
called sawm and is one of the Pillars of Islam.
Muslims get up very early in the morning,
before the sun rises and have Suhur. You can
have your usual breakfast at this time. After
this, you do not eat or drink until it is Iftar
time, when the sun sets.
Since Muslims come from just about every
place in the world, different families have
different foods they like to eat for their iftar or
Suhur meal.
Our beloved Prophet used to break his fast
with dates, that is why many Muslims eat
dates during Ramadan.

16. Ramadan time, coming soon insha Allah

18. "Anyone who fasts for one day, Allah will keep the Hell-Fire
away from that person for a distance equal to 70 years."
[Al-Bukhari]

20. Do I have to fast?
All Muslims that have reached puberty,
male and female, must participate in
fasting during Ramadan. People who are
elderly, sick or pregnant do not have to
fast, however they may make up the days
they have missed or pay to feed a poor
person equivalent to these days.

22. "During Ramadan, the devil is chained up,
but only for those who fast".

23. [2:185] Ramadan is the month during which the Quran was revealed,
providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book.
Those of you who witness this month shall fast therein. Those who are ill
or traveling may substitute the same number of other days. GOD wishes
for you convenience, not hardship, that you may fulfill your obligations, and
to glorify GOD for guiding you, and to express your appreciation.

25. Prophet (S) said "there is nothing like fasting". Makes sense considering
there's a separate Gate of Paradise made only for those who fast.
