Ramadan is (the
ninth month of the Islamic calendar;
the month of
fasting, the holiest period for the Islamic faith).
Ramadan Wrote :
Ramadan (Arabic: رمضان Ramaḍān
Persian: رمضانRamazān
Urdu: رمضان Ramzān
Turkish: Ramazan
ramadan rules
The fast of Ramadan in Arabic (صوم رمضان sawm
of ramadan) are one of the Five
Pillars of Islam.
Fasting is fard "obligatory" for adult
Muslims, except those who are ill, traveling, pregnant, diabetic or going through menstrual bleeding.
While
fasting from dawn until sunset, Muslims refrain from consuming food, drinking liquids, smoking, and
engaging in sexual relations.
Food and drink is served daily,
before sunrise and after sunset.
Fasting during
Ramadan typically includes the increased offering of salat (prayers) and recitation of the Noble
Quran.
The holy month of Ramadan unites
all Muslims in fasting, feasting, worship and prayer. It is a time for
contemplation, spirituality and brotherhood. It is also known and recognised as
the month of the Qur'an Allah (SW) says:
“The
month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind and
clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong).”
(Al-Baqarah 2:185)
May this Ramadan be one we
benefit fully from and whereby we increase in emaan and taqwa, Ameen
May our
acts of worship multiply abundantly ameen. May we increase in righteous
actions, and do good deeds sincerely for Allah Alone, ameen.
May our
character become beautified, may our hearts become connected upon this haqq and
we fulfill each others rights with happiness, ameen.
May we be
saved from the punishment of the fire, and enter Paradise, ameen. May Allah
forgive us of our sins and have mercy on us all, ameen.
Muslim usually greet each other
with “ ramadan karim” Which means Ramadan is Generous.
Reciting the
Qur'an in Ramadan
it is essential for the person fasting to recite the Qur'an much
during these blessed days and honorable nights of Ramadan. For indeed, there is
a special virtue for the abundance of recitation in these days, which is not
found in any other month.
He should take advantage of
the nobleness of time during Ramadan, in which Allah revealed the Qur'an
There is a special merit to reciting the Qur'an in the nights of
Ramadan.
For indeed, the night
brings an end to the busy daily affairs, the enthusiasm is roused and the heart
and the tongue mount upon reflecting.
And Allah is the one in whom we seek assistance.
ramadan dates
in Ramadan Dates are favorite
fruit .The prophet muhammed peace be
upon him used to broke his fast by eating dates and it’s Good for health .
Dates are an
excellent source of fiber, sugar, magnesium, potassium, and have carbohydrates
which will aid the body in maintaining health.
The carbohydrates found in dates also make the
fruit a slower digesting food, much better than fried or fatty foods which
digest fast and leave one hungry for more!
Ramadan
Foods
During Ramadan, two main meals
are served; the suhoor, which is served before dawn, and the iftar, which is
served after sunset. Since the suhoor is intended to last one throughout the
day, it tends to be a heavy and hearty meal. Suhoor ends when the sun rises and
the fajr, or morning prayer, begins. At the end
of the day, when the sun sets, the maghrib prayer starts, and the day's fast is
broken with the iftar meal. Many Muslims break their fast by eating dates
before beginning the iftar meal. Muslims can continue eating and drinking
throughout the night until the next day's suhoor. At the end of the Ramadan
month, Muslims celebrate the Festival of the Breaking of the Fast, called Eid
al-Fitr.
Both of
the suhoor and iftar meals contain fresh fruit, vegetables, halal meats,
breads, cheeses, and sweets. Remember that the Muslim world is large and is not
constrained to the Middle East; there are Muslims worldwide in Europe, North
America, Asia, Africa, and Australia. The types of food served vary by region.
The meals are served either at home with family, or in the community mosques,
or other designated places within the Muslim community.

Khan El Khalili Tour
Khan El Khalili
Khan El Khalili
There’s absolutely nothing in Cairo like exploring the enormous shopping labyrinth of Khan El Khalili, the city’s largest souk (market) that has preserved much of its original structure since its days as a famous medieval bazaar. Tourists and Egyptians alike arrive at this densely populated maze of streets and alleyways to find all sorts of gifts, including Egyptian antiques, fine handmade crafts and spices.
Khan El khalili How To reach!
It’s
not a terribly far walk from Downtown Cairo, but the easiest way to get to Khan
El Khalili is by taxi from Ataba or Tahrir Square.
Khan El khalili What
To Buy?!
There
are lots of treasures in Khan El Khalili that make great gifts. Be on the
lookout for alabaster pyramids and statues.There are also several shops that
sell quaint jewellery boxes, backgammon and chess boards made with mother of
pearl designs.
There
are several stores that sell Egyptian antiques, including lighting fixtures,
movie posters and old books.
I recommended you
to buy Horus Eye Bracelet.See customer reviews below :-
El
Fishawy Café
Shopping
in Khan El Khalili can be exhausting and overly stimulating. If all of the
shopping has left you weary, and you’re looking for a nice mint tea and apple
shisha, El Fishawy Café is just the place to do that. Open 24
hours a day, seven days a week for the past 250 years, this mirror-laden
alleyway café has hosted dozens of notables including Egyptian literary legend
Naguib Mahfouz. During the evenings, you might see oud players, poetry readings
or women offering henna tattoos.
~Enjoy~
