Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. And it begins based on observing the first crescent of the new moon.
Not only here in Dubai is Ramadan observed, but all over the world. Muslims spend 30 days observing fast bettering themselves in the principles of their faith and performing charitable acts.
Children below twelve years and those who travel for long distances are exempt from fasting.
Many Muslims use Ramadan to make resolutions, similar to New Year's resolutions for Christians.
Muslims don’t just abstain themselves from food, they also strive to cut out bad habits like anger, envy, greed, malice, gossip, lust and the likes.
Followers try to read the entire Qu’ran during this holy month.
Delicious and nutritious Ramadan dishes include: fig and lemon chicken, lentil soup, Moroccan soup, beef meatballs, fresh fig cake and rich semolina cookies.
Ramadan is followed by Eid Al Fitr, a time of enjoyment with gifts for the kids and wishing all near and dear ones Eid Mubarak!
