Ramadan is a kind of “crash course” aimed at inculcating in people a truly religious spirit and making them conscious of their responsibilities to God. worship. All of their days and nights are spent in prayer and fasting. In this way, people are trained to perform every action in the divinely appointed way. Their waking and sleeping, their eating and their abstinence, their actions and their inactions; all must be in accordance with the commands of God. This is how a true servant of God should behave, not just on special occasions, but every day of the year. For one month, certain habits are enforced as part of a certain discipline, so that for the rest of the year, the person will have no difficulty in exercising the same control over all of their actions. Thoroughly imbued with the qualities of patience and piety during the month of Ramadan, one is able to maintain the same high standard of conduct through the rest of the year. o Fasting awakens in man the feeling of gratefulness. It also serves as a method to increase the efficacy of worship.
