Ramadan Kareem
Every year, Muslims all over the world observe a month-long fast during the 9th month of the Islamic calendar: Ramadan.
All Muslims fast from first light until sundown, abstaining from food and drink. Those who are sick, elderly, or on a journey, and women who are pregnant or nursing are exempted to break the fast and make up an equal number of days later in the year. If they are physically unable to do this, they must feed a needy person for every day missed. The fasting during Ramadan is regarded principally as a method of self purification. By cutting oneself off from worldly comforts, even for a short time, a fasting person gains true sympathy with those who go hungry as well as growth in one's spiritual life.
We believe that this month is filled with blessings, and it is appropriate to wish well, everyone who’s observing it, at the beginning of the month. While friendly words in any language are welcome, there are some traditional or common Arabic greetings that one may use or come across:
- "Ramadan Kareem!" ("Noble (or Generous) Ramadan!")
- "Ramadan Mubarak!" ("Blessed Ramadan!")
At the end of the month, Muslims observe a holiday called Eid ul-Fitr (the Festival of Fast-Breaking).
On this occasion, we urge you to pray a lot, read more Qur’an, do more dikr, attend gathering regularly, and pray for our beloved Sidi Hamza and all the Boudchichi family.
Spread the spirit of Ramadan among your friends, family and dear ones.
