this is one of teh best month during Islamic year. this is the month when Allah (SWT) gives us(muslims) an opportunity to ask for forgiveness for our sins. He provides us with a chance of living a completey pious life for one month.
when i was younger, my mom used to tell me that during this Holy month, Allah binds the satan from astraying muslism from the righteous path. in my home it has been a tradition that when Ramadan starts, no television, no movies, and no songs. and for one month we only pray and recite Quran. honestly, doing all that makes one feel closer to Allah ever than b4 and it is so placating.
not only that, since we eat b4 sunrise and than eat at sunset, it makes oen feel what poor go through; doing so makes us appreciate the blessinsg of Allah.
even though the whole month of Ramadan is of blessing,"the last ten days of Ramadan are a time of special spiritual power as everyone tries to come closer to God through devotions and good deeds. The night on which the first verses of the Qur'an were revealed to the Prophet, known as the Night of Power (Lailat ul-Qadr), is generally taken to be the 27th night of the month. The Qur'an states that this night is better than a thousand months. Therefore many Muslims spend the entire night in prayer.
During the month, Muslims try to read as much of the Qur'an as they can. Most try to read the whole book at least once. Some spend part of their day listening to the recitation of the Qur'an in a mosque."
MAY ALLAH LET THE MONTH OF RAMADAN OF BLESSINGS AND JOY FOR EVERYONE THIS YEAR(AMEEN)!
