“O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed upon those before you in order that you may attain taqwaa (to cleanse or purify the heart and the soul).” Surah al-Baqarah 2:183

Tomorrow begins the Holy Month of Ramadan for the Islamic year Hijrah 1426. The Islamic world will observe this religious obligation by cleansing and purifying the heart and soul through fasting from sunrise to sunset and the exercise of strict control over ones tongue, eyes, ears, thoughts and deeds. Fasting in the Holy Month of Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam prescribed and obligatory to all Muslims.

To all my Brothers and Sisters in Islam, Ramadan Mubarak!!
