The first day
Question: What is Ramadan?
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Every day during this month, Muslims around the world spend the daylight hours in a complete fast.
Answer: During the blessed month of Ramadan, Muslims all over the world abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs during the daylight hours. As a time to purify the soul, refocus attention on God, and practice self-sacrifice, Ramadan is much more than just not eating and drinking.
Muslims are called upon to use this month to re-evaluate their lives in light of Islamic guidance. We are to make peace with those who have wronged us, strengthen ties with family and friends, do away with bad habits — essentially to clean up our lives, our thoughts, and our feelings. The Arabic word for “fasting” (sawm) literally means “to refrain” – and it means not only refraining from food and drink, but from evil actions, thoughts, and words.
During Ramadan, every part of the body must be restrained. The tongue must be restrained from backbiting and gossip. The eyes must restrain themselves from looking at unlawful things. The hand must not touch or take anything that does not belong to it. The ears must refrain from listening to idle talk or obscene words. The feet must refrain from going to sinful places. In such a way, every part of the body observes the fast.
Therefore, fasting is not merely physical, but is rather the total commitment of the person’s body and soul to the spirit of the fast. Ramadan is a time to practice self-restraint; a time to cleanse the body and soul from impurities and re-focus one’s self on the worship of God.

MY DAY
it’s the first day of Ramadan , the Holy month
it’s full of happy mpments . the best moment that I love in Ramadan when all members of my family stay together waiting the breakfast :-)
I love hearing my little brothers calling each other for breakfast … -}
we prepared Al-Suhoor (which we eat before fast ) which contains two kinds of rice and salt with water of course
then boys went to pray ( Al-Fajer pray ) then we sleeeep , we of course wake up to pray Al-Daher then back to sleep .
I waked up at 4 pm to help mamy to prepare breakfast and dinner then read Quran
It’s 6:30 my family staying together waiting the breakfast
The main dish in breakfast is dates
after praying we put dinner
some families eat breakfast with dinner together but my family dislike this way as we make our stomache full of food together : so we like to separate them to take break and to pray easy not with full stomach
at about 8:30 we pray AlEsha pray with Altarawih – Al-Tarawih just in Ramadan
I gave my liitle sister contest that she must read 2 pages of Quran per day when Ramadan finfish after 29 or 30 days I will give her gift :D
