Ramadan 2018: How Americans spend Ramadan

The Muslims fast in the holy month of Ramadan worldwide. 
The significance of Ramadan only begins when the moon is sighted.   The Islamic calendar is based on the lunar cycle, and the beginning of a new month is subject to moon sighting.


The fast requires total abstention from water and food—lasts from sunrise till sunset. 
Ramadan is to start this habit of self-assessment and control in oneself. The thing that really brings out the essence of Ramadan is the moral conduct and sacrifice. 
Muslims have to donate annually the equivalent of at least 2.5% of their savings, gold and commercial property. 

These include all gifts and things bought.  This puts light on the fact that tradition is not merely physical but holistic.

In the course of a lifetime, Muslims experience fasting in every season. As the Ramadan days shifts from 10 days every coming year.  

 

fighting is off-limits during Ramadan, it is better to stay away from people and things that attract you in fighting and evil practices. The basic idea is to cultivate restraint so that by the time Ramadan is over, one has developed a habit of deflecting aggression. As Ramadan is considered to come for only 30 days but to stay a lifetime and make major changes in a person’s mind and heart. The true message is to spread love and peace.
Some schools in America allows students to practice at the gym at night after the iftaar session in order to show respect to the holy month.
These simple acts of kindness to schedule the lunchtime later, preparing box tiffins for Muslims just enhances people’s trust in the Nation. 

Every year, some non-Muslim people choose to fast alongside Muslims in America, as they hold their annual interfaith iftar—the breaking of the fast at sunset. 
They enjoy all the delights together with love.
