Assalamu Alaikum to all, Ramadan Mubarak.
I am going to participate in a contest based on a holy month today. Thank you @robin42 for organizing such a lovely event on your favorite platform. This month we fast and restrain ourselves from all evil deeds to gain the pleasure of Allah for Muslims all over the world. Fasting started from 11th in middle east countries based on moon sighting we started fasting from 12th in Bangladesh. Some questions have been given about fasting, I will try to answer them.

What are the health benefits of fasting in Ramadan?

We Muslim Ummah fast in the hope of gaining Allah's pleasure. We have never calculated any personal gain or loss here. If Muslims count gain, it is the gain of nearness to Allah and the hope of greater reward.

Scientists have done a lot of research on the benefits of not eating for a long time? Studies have shown that fasting for long periods of time can reduce high blood pressure and cholesterol. Reduces the risk of diabetes. Losing weight by not eating all day Many people try all year but can't diet they can use this Ramadan. Scientific studies have shown many benefits of fasting.

What to keep iftar?

Iftar is what we break our fast after fasting all day. In our country there are various kinds of delicious iftars but they are not healthy. Recently UNESCO has declared Iftar as a cultural heritage. I am referring to a healthy Iftar.

• Dates
• A bit of watermelon
• You can keep any of guava, apple or papaya.
• Can keep cucumber.
• A boiled egg
• Small amount of chickpeas with a little murdi.

Fried and burnt should be avoided during the day on an empty stomach these tasty foods can cause gas.

Do you like to eat iftar with family members?

Of course, we all want it if all the family members sit together to break the fast But being away from the family does not make it possible, but a few iftars are done with the entire family.

What are people's misconceptions about fasting?

• Most of the people I see have stomach gas problem which is why they don't fast.
• Brushing the teeth breaks the fast.
• The fast is broken if saliva is swallowed.
• Fasting only if you do not eat.
• Eating something carelessly breaks the fast.

May Allah accept all our Sehri, Fasting and Iftar. May we all get closer to Allah this Ramadan. I invite you @abdullahw2 @shahariar1 @artist1111 to participate in this great contest.

Thanks for reading my post
Good luck to you.
I wish you well
