"O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become God-fearing." (The Quran, 2:183)
Special nightly prayers called, Taraweeh prayers are held. The entire Quran is recited in these prayers in Mosques all around the world. This month provides an opportunity for Muslims to get closer to God. This is a month when a Muslim should try to:
| See not what displeases Allah | |
| Speak no evil | |
| Hear no evil | |
| Do no evil | |
| Look to Allah with fear and hope |
....and as for me..the routine is more or less the same... three quarter of the day spent @ school- preaching biology (~_^)..Back home take a nap for a short while.....next is to plan what to have for breaking the fast...Dishes as usual..a simple dinner, no elaboration....with 'kurma' and a glass of sweet drink.....and rice....
Night time, after maghrib prayer.....in between, before isya', recite few pages of Quran.....then off for solat Taraweeh.....
...Before going to sleep..do a bit of reading of any religious books, simply to update, to refresh, to remind ......that life is a God gift...that we belong to HIM, the Almighty, the most Merciful, Most Compassionate...
