Happy Ramadan for all muslims!!
What is Ramadan?
Ramadan is the fasting month for Muslims. It falls in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is one of the five pillars of Islam.
Participants fast during daylight, and generally eat a meal before sunrise and after sunset, called "suhoor" and "iftar".
The end of Ramadan "Eid il Fitr" is marked with a large celebration.
Can we wish people a Happy Ramadan?
"Yes, of course,It's just a good greeting to give to people who are going through the self sacrifice for their faith.
And if you want to be really clever, you can say Ramadan Mubarak, which essentially means Happy Ramadan, or Congratulations, it's Ramadan.
Who is excused from fasting?
people who were sick, children below the age of 13 who had not gone through puberty, women who were on their period, travellers, breast feeding mothers and pregnant women were not required to take part in fasting.
What if you play sport? Can you have some water?
Not really.
professional athletes who travel were not required to fast, but other Muslims were encouraged to avoid sport for the month.
"They are not allowed water, they are not allowed to eat ... unless they are playing professionally and if you travel you don't have to fast,"
"If you are in those situations, it puts a lot of stress on them during the fasting time."
"Ramadan is also supposed to remind you that there are people in this world who can't afford to eat the basic three meals a day while people around them eat and drink lavishly.
"Ramadan for us is not only about giving up eating and drinking, it's also a month in which one should give up his ego of being a superior human than others, control one's anger, donate to the underprivileged and any sins that we do in our daily lives,"
Ramadan for a true Muslim is not hardship but a blessing and privilege from Allah.
It's a chance to improve one's shortcomings as humans and as Muslims, forget old quarrels and forgive each other, be more kind and generous towards humanity and ask for forgiveness for one's sins."
What else do you give up during Ramadan?
many Muslims used the month as an opportunity to address addictions, including smoking.
"It's the patience that it gives you, the ability to tolerate and control your desires … as in food, hunger, thirst and the desire to have sex, you will be able to control yourself.
