RAMZAN MUBARAK!
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar. The Month of Ramadan is also when it is believed the Holy Quran "was sent down from heaven, a guidance unto men, a declaration of direction, and a means of Salvation"

During the Fast of Ramadan strict restraints are placed on the daily lives of Muslims. They are not allowed to eat or drink during the daylight hours. Smoking and sexual relations are also forbidden during fasting. At the end of the day the fast is broken with prayer and a meal called the iftar. In the evening following the iftar it is customary for Muslims to go out visiting family and friends. The fast is resumed the next morning
The good that is acquired through the fast can be destroyed by five things -
- the telling of a lie slander denouncing someone behind his back a false oath
- greed or covetousness
These are considered offensive at all times, but are most offensive during the Fast of Ramadan
