#RamadanGiveaway Ramadan is the month of fasting. During Ramadan, Muslims fast for a month from the time of the dawn prayer to sunset and spend most of their time in prayer and meditation. Fasting (Sawm) is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. It is an act that Allah (S.W.T) has made mandatory for every able-bodied, sane, adult Muslim. It is meant to purify the mind, body and soul. Fasting itself teaches many things. Obedience and dedication for one, as Muslims around the world undertake fasting as commanded by Allah (swt). It also teaches restraint and control because in the state of fasting, Muslims shun the basic pleasures of life (such as food, water, cravings) and devote themselves purely to worshiping Allah (swt). It is ideal training in showing restraint, in order to become good human beings and better Muslims.
