RAMADAN 2012 BEGINS AROUND THE WORLD
- MUSLIM WOMEN & GIRLS
Ramadan
is the holiest month in the Islamic Lunar calendar. It is a time of spiritual
and social rejuvenation and bonding for believers globally, through the ritual
of fasting. Fasting is looked upon by Muslims as one of the pinnacles of
their devotion and love for God. The month of Ramadan can be a personal retreat
for believers, who are encouraged to better themselves spiritually, physically
and socially.
