🔰 In order to make it easier, these questions would be divided in a few sections. So without further ado, let's dig in. 🔰

○ What's the importance of Ramadan ? 🌜

• > Derived from the Arabic root ramiḍa or ar-ramaḍ which means scorching heat. The term "رمضان" represents the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.

For Muslims, Ramadan is a holy month dedicated to prayer, Quran recitation, introspection and fasting during the sunlight hours. It's also a month where the Holy Qu'ran was revealed.

○ What's the purpose of fasting during Ramadan? 🌜

Chronically ill or menstruating.

○ What are the benefits of fasting?🌜

Many people observe fasting as a religious obligation but only a few know the health benefits it has. Fasting is a good practice, if properly implemented. Fasting promotes :

• > It also teaches perseverance, gives endurance and patience.
