Muslims around the world wait for this Holy month every year. It is true that during this month we Muslims suffer because we have a very special kind of fasting called 'Seyam'. Seyam means that we shouldn't eat or even drink water from dawn until sunset. Yet, Ramadan is the time of great joy and happiness.

You have to pray a lot and try to quit all those bad habits and behavior that you developed during the year.
Praying and Fasting is not all . There is a lot of fun during this month. It is the month of inviting friends and being invited to Iftar Parties. If you have never been to an Iftar party in the UAE you have missed a lot. It's time you get yourself an invitation!

Ramadan month is a good school even for one person or for all society. At this month a lot of things changed by renewing the way of social, psychological and economical life. It affects our life in many ways and this because of fasting techniques.
First, fasting affects our psychology by teaching us how to be patient and how to have a strong determination. Many psychologists and researches urges to control our lusts and says, if a person could have everything he wants, this will help to be an upset person. Moreover, many medical centers use fasting as a treatment. Second, fasting is a time to change our life’s vision and to quit from selfness and to feel about other poor and hungry people. In some countries like UAE, many people starts to donate money and to make a “fasting tents” which includes food for any person who wants to eat in a time of “eftar”. Consequently, this will help the economic situation for poor people. In addition, Ramadan doesn’t only mean stop eating and drinking, but also means to control our reactions and stop doing bad habits. It teaches us how to resist. That’s why a lot of victories happened in Ramadan in the past. For example, if somebody was provoked, you mustn’t reply because if you did, you will lose the “ajjr” which means the reward by Allah. That means a person who is fasting should avoid intense arguments, lying, noising people, making problems with them and anything could hurt a person or a society. In this way, when each one make what he believes true as an application in his life by reforming the society and protect it, he will become a core of a strong society.
Now a days, Ramadan becomes as a carnival and a season for food and hundreds of serials. Only few people make It as a time for meditating. But If everybody recognized the philosophy and the real meaning of Ramadan, we would had this values in our society.

Ramadan is a time for spiritual purification a achieved through fasting . Therefore, fasting during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam . so all Muslims aim to realize these five pillars in their life time.
In this holly month Muslims focus on purifying their soul through prayer and self-sacrifice because they need to be closed with god . Muslims aged twelve and older traditionally practice fasting and some of them who can fast until the sunset .The fast is observed each day from sunrise to sunset although the fasting is not stop eating it’s the time to stop all bad habits in our life and it’s the time for spiritual purification achieved through fasting . Muslims also have to find for givens for other , be more peaceful and find time to met relative and friends so we must take care for relationship. Due to this fasting Muslims must read the holly Quran and try to recited. Also they have more pray such as , eltraweh .
Ramadan concludes with a 3 days festival known as “Eid ulfitr “Muslims celebrate with their families and dress in their new clothes. At the same time, they increase their efforts to give money to the poor and give the children money known as “3edyah “>
Finally , Ramadan is the best month in the year and people feel more peaceful and we hope that all over months such as Ramadan.
“Ramadan kareem “ for all
Ramadan, It occurs in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is the holy month of fasting. Muslims become closer to GOD. During this month Muslims fast (do not eat) from sunrise to sunset. In the evening and in the morning before the sun comes up, they eat small meals. Ramadan is a time of worship, reading the Qur'an, charitable acts, and the purification of individual behavior. This is also the time in which the Qur'an was revealed to Mohammed as guidance for the people. Ramadan ends with Eid-al-Fitr or the Festival of Fast-Breaking which is joyous celebration marked by a special gift of charity.
Ramadan is a blessed month when people fast. In this holy month people abstain from food and drink from dawn to sunset but they must also fast from sins and bad habits. They try their best to keep away from forbidden sights, sounds and anything that is considered to be a sin and ought to focus on praying and other types of worship. By fasting the person should learn patience, sacrifice, sympathy and self-discipline. This month could be a new fresh start for a lot of people because in this month good deeds should be easier for Muslims as the Prophet Mohamed told us that the Gates of Hell are chained and the Gates of Paradise are open.
it’s a month of caring and sharing amongst Muslims, a coming together of the whole community which should strengthen it. Moreover a lot of people will help the poor and give a lot of charity such as clothes, money, food and toys. Charity is a fundamental aspect of Ramadan wherein people learn how to give and share, by doing these simple things they could put a smile on the face of those less fortunate and that’s worth a lot to them both here and in the Hereafter. Many mosques provide food and shelter for those who don’t have a place to eat or sleep. Reading Quran is an important part of Ramadan. Muslims all try to compete against each other to see who can read more Quran and finish the whole Holy Book. People also socialize more together by visiting each other . Relationships, especially between families, become stronger in this month.
In my opinion Ramadan has changed very much over the last few years. People nowadays seem to concentrate more on the food they eat and the television serials they watch more than on the spiritual aspects of the month. Many people may also turn day into night whereby they sleep all day and stay up all night denying themselves the blessings of this holy month. Eid Al Fitr is the day that marks the end of the fasting period. It is the day of the new moon. There are special prayers and charity which Muslims must do. And afterwards the look forward to seeing their families and wearing the newest clothes and jewelry and for children the most important thing – receiving Eidiah (a gift of money)!
Every year Muslims wait for this holy month , because it has special ritual , and every single thing that you might have a different taste .
In Ramadan we must fast for almost fourteen hour , and that is obliged to feel the way that the lessfortunate people do the whole year.
These days fasting is not like before , it’s much easier , and every one could fast . The recent
Studies have shown that fasting is very healthy , because itrefreshes the body and helps it’s Organs to do their function in a perfect way.
The best thing that you would spend your day and night doing is “ reciting Quran “ , and pray
To Allah so you would have his help and blessing in your life .
Helping poor people visiting relatives and praying much than any time , these are things that
You can do during Ramadan .
During this holy month the Arabian channels think that they are obliged to have bunch of series
and ply’s , but they are not, however this month is not only for praying ,but you can also change
some negative epithets into positive ones , so you would invest your life time doing something good.
People now have different thoughts about Ramadan , I hope that one day I’ll be capable to persuade
Muslims to receive Ramadan in a more respectful way.
Ramadan brings happiness to all Muslims . it's a very important month to us because it spread the peace among us and made us more forgivable and giveness. It makes us feel other Muslims who suffer from hunger. after fasting all the day the family need to gather on a big meal called " aftar ". Another obligation we must do in ramadan is that we should give the poor people some money which called "zkah’’. Moreover we ought to stop listening to music because it is forbidden. Another thing we shall do is pray al trawee7 which is an extra pray at night.
