Ramadan
The pictures are about the holiday of Ramadan. They explain that in Ramadan you have to go on a fast. Muslims break their fast at Magrib (at sunset) prayer time with a meal called Iftar. Muslims may continue to eat and drink after the sun has set until the next morning's fajr prayer call. Then the process starts all over. Ramadan is a time of reflecting and worshiping God. Ramadan is also time to prey. They say that hell’s gates are locked and heaven’s gates are open. Some of the other pictures are about prayer. In addition to fasting, Muslims are encouraged to read the entire Qur'an. Therefore the entire Qur'an would be completed at the end of the month. Ramadan is also a time when Muslims are to slow down from worldly affairs and focus on self-reformation, spiritual cleansing and enlightenment; this is to establish a link between themselves and God through prayer, supplication, charity, good deeds, kindness and helping others. Since it is a festival of giving and sharing, Muslims prepare special foods and buy gifts for their family and friends and for giving to the poor and needy who cannot afford it; this can involve buying new clothes, shoes and other items of need. There is also a social aspect involved the preparing of special foods and inviting people for Iftar. This is a good and healthy holiday to celebrate.
