All of us here at L'opulenza would like to send you our warmest wishes for divine blessings in this wonderful month of Ramadhan.
Many of our friends have asked us about Ramadhan. We are more than pleased to share more about this month.
Ramadhan, for Muslims the most blessed of all months, and this is when believers stepped into a holy period of reflection and purification to review their lives in light of Islamic teachings and refocus their attention on God, redoubling efforts to avoid bad deeds.
They will abstain from eating and drinking from the break of dawn to sunset each day for one month, observing one of the five pillars of the Islamic faith.Those who are sick, elderly, or on a journey, and women who are pregnant or nursing are exempted to break the fast and make up an equal number of days later in the year. If they are physically unable to do this, they must feed a needy person for every day missed.The fasting during Ramadhan is regarded principally as a method of self purification.
The fast also allows practitioners to experience the hunger that the poor face throughout the year. The act of fasting is said to redirect the heart away from worldly activities, its purpose being to cleanse the inner soul (nafs) and free it from all evil qualities disliked by God. Properly observing the fast is supposed to induce a feeling of peace and calm. It also allows Muslims to practice self-discipline and sacrifice, as well as sympathy for those less fortunate, aiming to make Muslims more generous and charitable.
FROM ALL OF US AT L'OPULENZA...
SALAM RAMADHAN.
SALAM RAMADHAN.
