Month of Ramadhan

11 August 2010
Today is the Ist day of the month of Ramadhan Al-Mubarak. All Muslims are required to abstain themselves from eating and drinking from dawn till sunset. It is also a time for inner reflection, devotion to God and self control. The month of Ramadhan is an opportunity to gain by giving up, to prosper by giving and to grow stronger by enduring weakness. As a secondary goal, fasting is a way of experiencing hunger and developing sympathy for the less fortunate, and learning to thankfullness and appreciation for all of God's bounties. Fasting is also beneficial to the health and provides a break in the cycle of rigid habits or overindulgence.
Medical doctors would advise his patients to fast for specific reasons. Fasting is another way to detox the body.
