Ramadan comes from the Arabic root ramada, which means severe heat, as in the harsh heat of the sun scorching the earth. Through the properties of heat do metals become purified, relieved of impurities that weaken the metal and actually change its identity. Ramadan is a time of purification, a reawakening of our original identity (the one that really counts) - a way to filter out all that makes us captive to the things of this world which always change and never keep lasting meaning, such as ethnic background, geographic origin, wealth, prestige, or Klingon-like national pride.
