A typical Ramadan day begins with the Muslims attending the Mosque to pray early morning. Both meals in the wee hours of the morning and the late evening are begun with the recital of `Duas’ and thanking of Allah for his blessings. It is a time for family union and togetherness. The time for fasting is first announced with the sighting of the full moon and ends with the next sighting of the full moon. This is followed by the Eid celebrations where it is custom to wear new clothes, give gifts to one another and provide alms to the needy. It is believed among the Muslim community that fasting enables them to feel the pain and suffering of those who have little. They also believe that they would gain the ability to connect better with their own selves, and strengthen their faith for their religion and brotherhood. It grounds them to appreciate God for what he has blessed them with. Generous charity to the poor is encouraged during this season.
