Ramadan is more
than a day, for Muslims this religious holiday is a season lasting in 2015 in
Singapore from Thursday, the 18th of June and will continue for 30
days until Friday, July 17th of July. Muslims around the world
observes the dawn-to-dusk fast for the holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan is a time of spiritual reflection. Muslims do
good deeds and acts of charity, pray and fast from sunrise to sunset.
During the fast, no
food or drink is consumed, and thoughts must be kept pure. Muslims believe that
fasting helps them to learn patience, modesty, and spirituality. Meals are
served before sunrise and after sunset, and usually shared with family or with
the local community.
The leaders in various emirates pardon a number of
prison inmates on the first day of Ramadan. Some are also released for the
month of Ramadan to spend time with their family. Islam is a tolerant religion
and respects people of all races, cultures and religions. Non-Muslims are in no
way forced to follow Islamic traditions during the month of Ramadan. However,
as a sign of respect to the host country, guests are asked to refrain from
consuming food, drinks, chewing gum and smoking in public during the fasting
hours of the day (dawn to dusk).
Plog wishes you Eid Mubarak and an easy fasting as
you observe this important holiday.
