{ Ramadan Kareem }
Traditional Arabic/khaleeji sweet called "legaimat" thats usually made on Ramdan only!
Ramadan is a month of blessing, that includes prayer, fasting and charity. It is basically the holy month of fasting from dawn to dusk which lasts for approxiamtely 29 days. This time of the year is the time for reflection and devotion to God, and self-control. During the month of Ramadan Muslims show their devotion to God by fasting or abstaining food till dusk. Its not very different from other religions, as some religions also encourage fasting.
Ramadan is an important time for Muslims, not just because it helps a closer relationship with God, but also because Ramadan is a time to think about those less fortunate. Another goal of fasting in Ramadan is to experience hunger in sympathy for those without food, its a way that many Muslims learn to be thankful and to appreciate what they have.
Ramadan begins and ends at a different time each year, (last year Ramadan was on September, but this year, its on August.. it goes back about 10 days days each year depending on the lunar calender and the sighting of the new moon).
As a muslim student studying abroad, I still have to fast.
Yes, it might be abit difficult while I’ll be surrounded by people who aren’t fasting, but in the end, its all worth it =)
Aaaanddd.. Time passes quickly here.. so yehh hopefully I wont feel the hunger.. (Its not like I eat much anyway)
