Exploring spirituality within Ramadan

As we witness another Ramadan and receive its multitudinous, tangible and intangible gifts – it is incumbent for us to reflect upon the centrality of the Glorious Quran in this sacred month, and to strive towards attaining the higher state of perpetual cognizance of God, i.e. taqwah. The word “Ramadan” comes from the root word ramad, which literally translates as “to burn”. The word “Ramadan”, it is suggested, denotes the burning of the sins of people with good deeds.

A look at the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan

Hundreds of millions of Muslims around the world began fasting on Thursday from sunrise to sunset for the month of Ramadan, a time of contemplation, fortitude and intense worship.

Here are some questions and answers about Islam’s holiest month and how it’s observed:

WHY DO MUSLIMS FAST?

Sounds of Ramadan that ring out through the ages

The Mesaharati, or public waker, is one of the oldest and most deeply rooted of Ramadan customs. The title is given to a person who voluntarily takes it on himself to wake up Muslims during the holy month to eat the suhoor meal before they start their fasting at the Fajr prayer call at dawn.

Abdul-Muhsen Doom, the mesaharati in Al-Balad’s Ramadan Festival, said that the practice was mainly created because people used to go to bed after Taraweeh prayers every night.

Dates: A Middle Eastern delicacy

Dates are a staple food in Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East, both in their own right and as a common ingredient in local dishes. In particular, they form an important part of the diet of Muslims during Ramadan, when they are traditionally eaten every evening to break the fast.
