***RAMADAN MUBARAK*** May Allah forgives us all and accept our prayers... ***Fasting the month of Ramadan in Islam: The fasting of Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam. This is because the prophet (peace be upon him) said Islam is upheld by five pillars; first, to bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone and that Muhammad is His Messenger. Second, to pray regularly. Third, to pay zakat i.e. divine tax for poor. Fourth, to fast during the month of Ramadan. Fifth, to visit the House of God in Mecca, once in a lifetime for those who are able to do the journey. The aim of ordering people to fast is that they should learn how to be patient, to have good morals, to purify their hearts and their character and to practice the gentle way of dealing with people. One should feel the sufferings of hunger and thirst in order to be quick to help those who are suffering when seeing them. One must always learn to feel the fear of God and His mercy.
