Introduce about fasting
Fasting the lunar month of Ramadan is such an important Pillar of Islam that Muslims believe that if one dies without having made up the missed fasts,
the guardian (or heir) must make them up, for they are a debt owed to Allah. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
“Whoever observes fasts during the month of
Ramadan out of sincere faith and hoping to attain
Allah’s rewards then all his past sins will be forgiven.”
(Al-Bukhari)

Muslims believe that the influence of the devils on the believers who obey Allah is diminished. Prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
“When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of the
heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed
and the devils are chained” (Al-Bukhari)
Muslims believe that the first verses of the Quran
(Surat Al-`Alaq 96:1-5) were revealed in the month of
Ramadan while Muhammad (peace be upon him) was in spiritual retreat in the cave of Hira outside of Makkah. Years later when the fast of Ramadan was made compulsory, the Angel Jibreel used to come to Muhammad (peace be upon him) every day during Ramadan so that the latter could recite all that had been revealed so far of the Quran. In his final year, the Prophet recited the entire Quran twice in Ramadan.
Gift
Muslims continue the tradition of reading the entire
Quran at least once during Ramadan. In Muslim countries, it is not at all unusual in this month to see many people reading the Quran while riding the bus or metro to and from work. Others find time early in the morning, late at night, or at intervals throughout the day.
Many others read or recite the Quran during Tarawih
Prayers, which are held only during Ramadan, or in
private late night Prayers called Tahajjud.
Muslims who cannot yet read Arabic will spend some time each day listening to a tape or CD of the Quran being recited. Muslims consider Ramadan to be a good time to get into the habit of reading at least some of the Quran or its translation every day, and if they haven’t read either of them cover to cover, Ramadan is the time to do it.
Islamic Dairy
In addition to reading the Quran, Muslims try to spend more time in dhikr (remembrance of Allah) during this month and make an effort to perform Tarawih Prayer, preferably in congregation.
Muslims also sometimes perform the late night Prayer called Tahajjud. They may do this before or after eating the pre-dawn meal, just before
the Fajr (Dawn) Prayer. Ramadan is also a favorite time for `Umrah – a visit to the Kaabah in Makkah. When performed in Ramadan,`Umrah takes the same reward as Hajj (pilgrimage), but it
does not replace the obligatory Hajj.
According to Muslims, fasting means abstaining not
only from food and drink, but also from sexual
intercourse, lying, arguing, and back-biting. While fasting, Muslims must be careful to restrain their tongues, temper, and even their gaze. Ramadan is the time for Muslims to learn to control themselves and to develop their spiritual side.
Basically, Muslims try to have a pre-dawn meal,
known as sahur, before they begin fasting. The fast lasts from dawn to sunset. As soon as the sun has set, Muslims break their fast without delay. Generally, Muslims may break their fast with a small amount of food – the sunnah is to do so with an odd number of dates – and then perform the Maghrib (Sunset) Prayer before eating a full meal.
