Hospitality
The period of Ramadan is a
period in which Muslims turn towards their spiritual communities in a time of
heightened spirituality. To help deepen your understanding of this spiritual period,
Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares five things you probably
didn’t know about Ramadan.
Aside
fasting, it’s also a time for spiritual reflection
For many muslims, as much
as Ramadan is a period of fasting for them, it’s also a time for deep spiritual
reflection and personal growth. It’s not just about fasting. Fasting helps to
afford the peace of mind that allows them spiritually reflect and think clearly
and rationally without being clouded by overwhelming emotions or distractions. It
offers an opportunity to forgive, let go and focus on what’s most important.
Muslims
don’t only abstain from food and water
During Ramadan, Muslim
also abstain from bad habits; they don’t just fast from food and water. The
fast is not just about denying the body food and water, it also involves a
taxing challenge of avoiding bad behaviours like loss of temper, ill speech
etc. The point of this is to demonstrate submission to God and keep the mind
‘focused on a spiritual plane.’
Ramadan
is often called the “Month of the Qur’an”
Ramadan is often referred
to as the month of the Qur’an because during this time, Muslims try to recite
as much of the Qur’an as they can. Typically, Mosques will frequently recite a
sizeable portion of the Qur’an each night.
Many
people give more to charity during Ramadan
One of the Five Pillars of
Islam is giving money to charity. It is not unusual to see an increase in this
practice among Muslims during Ramadan more than any other month of the year.
Muslims
would appreciate you not feeling bad for them
Ramadan is not a period of
suffering; it’s a period of spiritual reflection and growth for the Muslims. As
a result, Muslims typically appreciate if you don’t feel sorry for them, as
they are not suffering. Though fasting can make them tired and sleepy, the
benefit and value of the season for them is much more satisfying and thrilling.
