THE SPIRIT OF RAMAZAN

This understanding makes him aware of the difficulties of his fellow beings and inculcates in him a sense of sympathy thereby making him share his bounties with those who are in need. This sharing will not just be in the form of giving away a portion of what he has but in being sensitive towards safeguarding himself from usurping others rightful share directly or indirectly and in the conservation of natural resources. Ramazan is thus a process of rejuvenation of a believer. He can look forward to applying the lessons learnt during Ramazan to everyday life. A person who fasts in the true spirit can count on drawing upon the reservoir of fortitude that he has built up and on the power of supplication. He responds with patience and gratefulness, humility and sympathy towards his fellow beings when he is faced with challenging situations. o The height of spirituality is a person's realization of his own helplessness and the supreme power of God.
