What is Ramadan ?

A Time for Thought, Action, and Change!
Ramadan is a holy month of fasting, introspection and prayer for Muslims. Fasting is one of the five fundamental principles of Islam. Muslims break their daily fasts by sharing meals with family and friends, and the end of Ramadan is celebrated with a three-day festival known as Eid ul-Fitr, one of Islam’s major holidays.
It is intended to bring the faithful closer to God and to remind them of the suffering of those less fortunate. Fasting is an exercise in self-restraint. It’s seen as a way to physically and spiritually detoxify by kicking impulses.
Ramadan is a time to detach from worldly pleasures and focus on one’s prayers. 

Let’s talk about some benefits of fasting.

1. The month of Ramadan is a great time for our digestive system, which is responsible for the metabolism process of food, to get some rest. 
2. During fasting, the level of sugar in blood decreases so does the level of cholesterol. 
3. And of course it is a chance to get your body in shape!
4. Also, during the first week you will be surprised at how little food you actually need to be full. For some people it can lead to the whole new way of consuming food.
The mental benefits of fasting during Ramadan are even better. This year I look at it as one more chance to learn how to thrive and be grateful for whatever comes my way.
1. You get an opportunity to be in a state of self-discipline and self-control, which is not a bad thing at all.
2. You start to evaluate even small things differently. 
3. Ramadan teaches you to avoid anger.
4. It is strongly encouraged to help those in need.
5. And share your happiness with everyone.
6.  To forgive someone’s and your own mistakes.
If you find it very difficult to forgive everyone, forgive at least three people.

 Ramadan is a reminder of how many things in life we take for granted. That’s why I think everyone should make an effort and try to fast. Maybe not during Ramadan days, maybe later on, but I am sure people will be amazed at how different they feel and think after such an experience.

In a nutshell, even though the real purpose of the Fasting is to discipline our soul and moral behavior, to develop sympathy for the less fortunate, it is a multi-functional and a comprehensive tool of change in various spheres of our lives, including: social and economic, intellectual , spiritual and physical, private and public, personal and common, ---all in one!

May our good deeds be accepted

Happy Ramadan!!!

 Until next time 
Polý agape (lots of love) and stay cheerful :)
