Dear friends Ramadan is the Holy month that comes once in a year.This is the month of blessing.This month teaches us alot of lessons regarding taqwa and believe.So let’s move to the core of this contest.

The main purpose of fasting in Ramadan

The main purpose of fasting is to gain taqwa.

Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle saying regarding Ramadan,

“Whoever prayed at night in it (the month of Ramadan) out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven”

^{Book:Sahih Bukhari,Hadees No: 2008}

In Ramadan muslims gain spiritual strength and strong beliefs.

• In ramadan muslims enjoy offering prayers.
• Muslims do fasting and understand the hunger of those human that can’t eat food and remain hungry.
• In Ramadan reading Quran makes eternal peace.
• Through charity Muslims seek forgiveness for their sins.
