Ramzan or Ramadan

This is a holy month of Muslims. On that time they indulge in fasting and prayer. Their fast start from morning to evening. During that month they are trying to abstain from fighting each other. They share love and sympathy. Even they do so, they do fight with non –Muslims. Because they celebrate Ramadan as a month of Jihad or holy war against non-believers. They believe that those who bore martyrdom on the Ramadan days will be occupied a place in paradise.

Features of celebrating Ramadan

Ramadan is a moth of the Islamic lunar calendar. Feasting in Ramadan is the scarification of whole body. They do fasting by avoiding food, drinks, sex, and so on. They take it only on day time. In night they have delicious food. It may contain even special item of meals. It is for them to purify their soul, concentrate on God, and self-abnegation.

It is the for them to re-assess their lives and actions in the way of Islamic rules. They keep peace with those who have wronged them, make more relation with families and friends, abstain from, bad habits for cleaning up their lives, thoughts, and their feelings. The meaning of “fasting” in Arab is “to refrain”. It is not only from food and drink but also from evil actions, thoughts, and words.

When they celebrate Ramadan the whole part of the body participate and is to be controlled it self. The tongue, eye, hand, ears, feet, all these must be controlled ourselves. The tongue is not to be allowed to pomp speech and gossips. The eyes should be controlled from viewing un allowed things. The hand must be controlled from touching unworthy things and actions. The ears should not be allowed to hear the abuse words. The feet must not be allowed to go to sinful places. This is the way of their fasting.

So, it is not mere a physical, but a actions of whole body of a person. It is the time for practicing the self control and let the mind concentrate on God.
