The Month of Ramadan

Spirit of Fasting

The Lord has asked Muslims that for one month we should get some feel of the state of those people who don’t have many things, who face daily challenges in their lives.

In the Quran it says “To fast is best for you, if only you knew” (Quran 2:185). Fasting is basically a representation of people that can’t afford food but instead of taking pity God tells us to understand what they go through, doing so we realize how many challenges people go through on a daily basis.

Many have to sacrifice food for their children and loved ones if they don’t have enough. But, on the other hand with our lucky lives we still get ungrateful. Ramadan helps us understand their feelings and gives us a chance to erase these bad traits from our lives. It’s about bringing us closer to humanity and bringing us closer to God.
