Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb.
May Peace Be Upon You
Ramadan Kareem to my fellow Muslims.
Please allow me to do a brief sharing regarding the month of Ramadan.
Ramadan is the ninth month in the Muslim calendar (a total of 12 months). During this month, fasting is made obligatory to all Muslims who have reached the age of puberty.
Now you may ask why do Muslims fast during the month of Ramadan?
The feeling of hunger and thirst that one experience during fasting will help one to develop compassion for those who are less fortunate and underprivileged. It also allow one to build up a sense of self-control and willpower.
The holy month of Ramadan is also a period for Muslims to enhance or ‘recharge’ our spirituality through inner reflection and devotion to God which leads to a greater sense of humility.
With better self-control, willpower, compassion and humility, one will then be able to become an individual who will benefit his community and nation.
