Ramadan is a time where Muslim’s go into fasting for a month. However, somethings one can do without while going through a spiritual event.
15 Things I won’t Miss About Ramadan:
The Magic of Ramadan
Ramadan is a month of abstaining from bad behaviour and habits that are harmful towards your body and being. It is also fasting from food and drink during from sunrise to sunset to remind us how blessed we are by Allah and the everyday privileges we have.
There are many positives to the month of Ramadan. The fasting is believed to cleanse and purify your body. Giving up habits for the month such as smoking and drinking alcohol can help you break out of your addiction by detoxing your body. The belief is that the stronger you are in your faith, the greater you are in resisting your bad habits during the fast.
Abstaining from sexual activities also helps you grow much more intimate with Allah as you all for self – preservation and respect for this holy time.
You learn how to control your cravings, and the desires you have when fasting. Having self-control is a good character trait to have when fasting, this ensures that you do not break your fast and can achieve your goals by controlling your urges.
The fast is supposed to take you to a purer state of being, a better new version of yourself where you discard old habits and embrace changes.
There are also other smaller habits that you break and should refrain from while fasting. Things such as gossiping about other people, lying, fighting, being unkind to any living thing are also forbidden.
Conclusion
Ramadan is a time to dig deep into your hearts and reach out to others. It is to be mindful of how other people are suffering in the world, how people are starving and have no food or drink. It’s about opening your heart to others and being kind in all that you do.
Fasting teaches us great virtues that we should strive to uphold right throughout the year and helps better ourselves to make us worthy of the promises that Allah wish to bestow on us.
Although there are things, we dislike that comes with Ramadan, getting to celebrate the sacrifices that we make in this spiritual time is rewarded by Allah in our every day lives.
