RAMADHAN.

hey! DO you know Ramadhan is nearing?
it is the month where muslims are supposed to be fasting. it is compulsory for them to fast. Fasting means cannot drink or eat. On this holy month, Muslim are not allowed to do forbidden things. They are supposed to be doing good deeds, like donating to the charity, helping out at old folks home and also praying 5 sessions.
How does this go about?
Everyone of us will wake up at 4 or 5 and will have their breakfast. saying some prayer first and then they will eat. they must finish eating before Syuruk. and they will fast from dawn to sunset. and during the prayers during Mahgrib, they will start eating. after that at around 8, they will go for Taraweeh.
For some people like the old ones and also th sick ones, they can choose to fast or not. it is not compulsory for them.
After 1 month fasting, they will celebrate Aidilfitri, also called Hari Raya Puasa. it marks the end of Ramadhan. on this festive season, Muslim will visit each others relatives and friends and asked for forgiveness.
And, I should be thankful because my birthday falls on the day before Ramadhan. Which means i can celebrate it without any obsturction.XD.
