🏮 Ramadan and the Islamic year · Step 4 of 10
A Ramadan day
Fasting is not only about food: Ramadan is a month of prayer, Qur'an, charity and good manners.
Fill the day with good
- Prayer: the five prayers on time, and taraweeh at night.
- Qur'an: read or listen every day, even a few ayahs.
- Charity: give something, even a smile or helping at home.
- Good words: fasting also means keeping our tongue from bad words.
“Whoever does not give up false speech and acting upon it, Allah has no need of his giving up his food and drink.”
A real fast includes our tongue, eyes and hands, not only our stomach.
