ramadan in a few days !
i can see many of my non-muslim friends are confused about what it is
so heres a simple thread about
“what is ramadan” :]
-ramadan is the 9th month of the islamic calendar and the month in which the quran was revealed to our prophet. it lasts 30/29 days.

-we follow the lunar calendar which is why it starts earlier each year

-during it muslims get closer to allah and fast from sunrise to sunset.
-the fast reminds the muslims to appreciate and be grateful for all
that is available to them from simplicity of water and food.

- its an opportunity to be more charitable and giving to those who is in need. and a time to break free from bad habits.
- fasting is mandatory for all healthy adults muslims...the elderly, children, those who are physically or mentally cant fast, the sick, the travelers and some more are exempt from fasting.

- if you missed a fast or broke it you must refast the days you missed.
-after the sun sets, families gather to eat iftar! and before the sunrise we eat suhoor to prepare our bodies for the next day.

-we normally eat food with high iron and high fibers so we dont lose energy and drink liquids to stay hydrated.
it means a lot when you wish us “ramadan mubark” or happy ramadan <3
