The month of Ramadhan is one of great importance to all our Muslim brothers and sisters in the world.
We are fulfilling one of the 5 pillars of Islam - FASTING and DEEP REFLECTING in God.
Let us increase our activities such as visit friends, the sick, collect gifts to share during Eid, share stories about fasting and its importance especially with the children.
NOTE: Those who are sick, elderly, or on a journey, and women who are pregnant or nursing are permitted to break the fast and make up an equal number of days later in the year.See this, only 5 minutes...For those who love knowledge: We follow the teachings of God's Messengers - Adam, Moses, Abraham, David, Noah, Jesus, Mohammed (peace be upon them all)
