Ramadan

Today is Ramadan. Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic Calendar -traditionally begins and ends based on the sighting of the first crescent of the new moon.

The month of Ramadan commemorates the revelation of the Qur'an (divine scripture & Islam's holy book).

During the month, Muslims fast from pre-dawn until sunset, foregoing eating and drinking and avoiding all wrongdoing.

The purpose of the fast is to grow in God-consciousness and moral excellence. In commemoration of the Qur'an's revelation, many Muslims gather at their mosque to hold special prayers in which the entire Qur'an is recited by month's end.

Why this Month is important ?

Muslims believe that during the month of Ramadan, Allah revealed the first verses of the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam. Around 610 A.D., a caravan trader named Muhammad took to wandering the desert near Mecca (in today's Saudi Arabia) while thinking about his faith.

One night a voice called to him from the night sky. It was the angel Gabriel, who told Muhammad he had been chosen to receive the word of Allah. In the days that followed, Muhammad found himself speaking the verses that would be transcribed as the Qur'an.

One of the best parts about life is having great friends. Friendship is something that we all cherish and work to upkeep as well as protect. Anyone who has had a true lasting friendship knows the wonderful benefits of having such a close relationship. You can rely on your friends for help, support during hard times, and just someone to talk with. Friends help you out of a pinch, watch your back, and remember your birthday when nobody else does. Strong friendship is lasting and satisfying. It is important to keep your friendships and retain them, no matter where they go

Happy Friendship everybody!!!

Today also is happened to be my father's day i would i like to tell him Happy Birthday Dad! and i would like to dedicate this lovely poem to him for this special occasion.

I find myself wondering...

Did I give you your due..

For all that you've done for me

Did I ever thank you?

For all of my childhood memories

For helping me deal with life's stresses

For helping me accept my defeats

And celebrate my successes?

Or for teaching me the value of hard work,

Good judgement, courage,

and being true The laughter,

smiles, and quiet times we've shared

Did I ever thank you?

If I have forgotten, I'm thanking you now

You taught me right from wrong....

I hope you know how much you're loved and appreciated

I hope you, instinctively, knew it all along.

Happy Birthday Dad!
