What is Ramadan?

Eid'd Fitr

Ramadan

Ramadan, the greatest religious observance in Islam, is an annual month of fasting.
During the blessed month of Ramadan, Muslims all over the world  abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs during daylight hours . As a time to purify the soul, refocus attention on God, and practice self sacrifice, Ramadan is much more than just not eating and drinking.
I'm not an Islam but I also do fasting especially when times that I don't feel the presence of our Lord. And true enough during those absence of the senses in our universal faith it is called Lenten Season and we fast our five senses. The eyes,nose,ears,tongue,skin. And true enough if the body is weak the spirit is strong and you could feel that you are not a mere human being with physical body but you have the spirit and soul that speak with your God and other human being through your mind and spirit.
But even you fast if you don't do the gift of love you miss the essence of fasting.
Love is the universal language that anyone can understand and if their is love God is their because God is love. Different names but one meaning and that is give love on every human being because your God is a God of love so as children of love do the same.

Ramadan Kareem!
Ramadan Mubarak!
Kul 'am wa enta bi-khair
Eid Mubarak
