The spiritual benefits of fasting
The rituals and practices during Ramadan
The importance of community and charity during Ramadan
The Ramadan Month
- Ramadan is a month full of social festivities such as communal dinners, group prayers, and other gatherings.
- The Islamic holy month is always held on the 9th month of the Islamic Lunar calendar.
- Since the calendar depends on the moon cycle, Ramadan falls about 11 days earlier each year.
- During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn to dusk — yes, even water.
- When the sun sets, there is a communal meal called 'Iftar' where you break your fast, usually with your family or friends.

Beyond Fasting
- The month of Ramadan is about more than just fasting.
- You are also encouraged to do good deeds such as charity and abstain from sinful acts such as gossip.
- It's also a month of self-reflection and a way for Muslims to develop positive habits that can be brought forward once Ramadan is over.

The Duration Of The Holy Month
- Ramadan lasts for 29 or 30 days depending on the moon cycle.
- After a month of fasting, Muslims celebrate with a festival called Eid and wish each other 'Eid Mubarak' (Have a blessed Eid).
- Eid is a social event that is celebrated by having your family, friends and neighbours over for a large feast.
- Muslims decorate their homes and wear new clothes, and children and the elderly receive gifts or money packets.
- While practices vary across the world, Eid is also a time when Muslims seek forgiveness from each other.

The Rules Of Ramadan
- Don't eat or drink from dawn to dusk.
- Before the sun rises, Muslims usually wake up to eat a big meal so that they won't be hungry during the day.
- Those who don't want to wake up early have a big dinner before bed.
You're exempt from fasting if you're:
- Pregnant
- Sick
- Menstruating
- Travelling long distances
Children are not required to fast but they're welcome to learn by participating, such as fasting up until lunchtime.
If you miss a fast, you can make up for it by fasting at a later date. And if you can't fast because of health reasons, you can donate food or money to the poor instead.

Ramadan Etiquettes
- You can eat and drink in front of someone fasting for Ramadan during the day.
- While they will probably turn down your lunch invite, you can have dinner together when they break their fast.
- Remember, Ramadan is all about coming together, so inviting a person to break their fast with you is a large part of the celebration.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
