Benefits Of Ramadan
The word Ramadan is derived from an Arabic root (“Ramida”) word which means sun backed ground.
Fasting in Ramadan Expresses the thirst and hunger of less privileged. Ramadan is a period of fasting and sacrifice for the Muslims around the Globe. Unlike other holidays Ramadan retains its intense spirituality and teaches us Taqwa.

- Children less than fourteen years of age
- Women which are expecting but they have to make up for the fast later.
