Ramadan is the holiest month in the Islamic Calendar in which Muslims all over the world keep away drinking, eating and satisfying other physiological necessities from dawn to dusk just for the sake of Pleasure of Allah SWT.

‘O you who have believed decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous.
