Wishing all Muslims a very happy and blessed Fasting Month of Ramadan  2017  ~May 26 - June 24~ "O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you, as it was prescribed for those before you [for Jews and Christians] so that you may learn self-restraint." ~The Quran ~ Surat Al-Baqarah (The Cow) ~2:183. "Ramadan ( Muslims' Lent Season)  is a special month of the year for Muslims throughout the world. It is a time for fasting, inner reflection, devotion to God and self-control. The daily period of fasting starts at the breaking of dawn and ends at the setting of the sun. In between- that is, during the daylight hours- Muslims totally abstain from food, drink, smoking, and marital sex. The usual practice is to have a pre-fast meal (suhoor) before dawn and a post-fast meal (iftar) after sunset. The end of Ramadan is marked by a three-day celebration called Eid al-Fitr (Festival of Fast-Breaking).
