Ramadan Mubarak !
I am so blessed to be witnessing another Ramadan. Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic lunar calendar when Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. This is a month where we give up what is halal (permissible) for us such as food and we fast from our desires, which may also be understood as food. Ramadan is a very special month for Muslims as it is when our holy book the Qur'an was revealed to our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Though Islam is not the only religion that commands a fast, unlike others, it has its own rules and regalations. Ramadan is a time when by fasting, Muslims are supposed to sympatize with those who are unfortunate by means of food and wealth. We are supposed to feel what they do (though we still have the luxury of being able to eat once breaking the fast) and should make us strive to become a better person by helping those in need, which is one of the five pillars of our faith.
I like to set myself goals for the month so that I may come out of it as a better person.
1) Not to be extravagent in my food
2) Take time to help others
3) Learn more about my religion and teach it to others
What are some goals you have set for yourself and what do you want to come out of this month?
