Ramadhan is the ninth of the Islamic calender year. It is the month of fasting and the month in which the Qur'an was revealed. It was so named because it originally fell in the height os summer with days on intense heat. Ramadhan is derived from the Arabic verb ramad, which literally means to bake a sheep in ite skin. Similarly, the fasting person living in the hot desert. In the same way, Muslims who fast are slowly burning away thier sins Mashallah!

The month of Ramadhan gradually rotates backwards through all seosons and months. The Muslim experiences the discipline of fasting under all kinds of conditions in all seosons. In winter the dayas are short and cold, making fasting much more easier. While in summer the long ho days make fasting more difficult. Autumn and spring brind an intermediate situation. All Muslims who fast for a period of about thirty four years, in one place, will have fasted for the same amount of time, no matter where they live.
