ESSAY ABOUT RAMADAN BY: MUHAMMAD FARIDUDDIN

          

         Ramadan is celebrated by all muslim in the world. During ramadan, muslims are expected to fast to abstain from food and drink. Ramadan is one of the months in the islamic calendar. This month is very special for the muslims because all the muslims can improve their faith to Allah s.w.t. Ramadan is a month of blessing and glorious for muslims. All muslims are required to fast on the month of ramadan and increase their religious duties. Ramadan teaches muslims to be thrifty in daily routine and disciplined when fasting.

          During ramadan, muslims will go to mosque and spend time a few hours praying and studying the quran. Apart from the five daily prayers, there is a special prayer which is only available in the month of ramadan called taraweeh. Some muslims spend their night in prayer on the last 10th day of the month for celebrate the Laylat al-Qadr, precisely on one of the odd nights. Laylat al-Qadr have a huge advantage, it was better than 1,000 months in the other. The night of Laylat al-Qadr is very hard to find but when we found it, like we do worship for 1,000 months.

          Therefore, one thing that is special about ramadan is "Bazaar Ramadan". At "Bazaar Ramadan" there are variety of food. Every evening, muslims and other religion will go "Bazaar Ramadan" to find some foods that only found at "Bazaar Ramadan" in the month of ramadan. At the same time, we must smart when we buy food at "Bazaar Ramadan" to avoid wastage.

         Furthermore, sahur is also a very special to all muslim. This is because sahur only can be done during ramadhan. It is one of the prophet Muhammad s.a.w sunnah which teaches all the muslims to get ready for a whole day without any meal. Sahur also important for all muslims to go through their day. Another purpose of having sahur is to ensure that they does not miss their subuh prayer.

         In the nutshell, ramadan will end with a celebration called shawal. It is a day of victory for the muslims after a month of fasting. It is also time for friends and family come together to enjoy large meal while wearing new clothes. After that, they will apologize to each other for the mistakes they've made.
