Importance of Ramadan

Ramadan, the ninth month on the Islamic lunar calendar, is observed by Muslims as a period of fasting, prayer and community. During this time, Muslims abstain from food, drink and other physical needs from dawn till sunset focusing instead on purifying their souls and improving their devotion to Allah. The fast (Sawm) is one of Islam’s Five Pillars signifying an era for self-control discipline, spiritual growth and empathy for less privileged people.

Eid al-Fitr Spirit

Eid al-Fitr which means “Festival of Breaking the Fast” is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims across the globe. It marks not only the end of Ramadan but also heralds Shawwal: the tenth month on Islamic calendar. A special prayer starts off this day followed by feasting; gift-giving; acts of charity (Zakat al-Fitr). Families come together to share meals while celebrating a month full blessings and self restraint.
