What is Ramadan

Ramadan is the name 9th month of Islamic moon calender.It is very impotent because it is the month that the glorious Kura'an was first sent down from Allah to the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihiwasallam,
During Ramadan Muslims must fast.We don't eat or drink during dawn and sunset,and we should be very careful to speak and behave in the right way.
we learn many fasting things during Ramadan, it is the time to increase the remembrance of Allah,and remember the blessing which we have been given.
We learn how to be thankful for the good things normally take for granted.
after fasting all day we realize how wonderful food and drink taste, so we thank Allah more sincerely for providing for the enough to eat and satisfying out thirst,
Ramadan is a good form of training,they may come moments time in life when things are not easy, and we have to carry on Even though it is difficult.By fastin we learn to be patient in such times.Which control our self and our bodies.This is called self discipline.
During this holy month the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihiwasallam Said,
"The doors of heaven are open and the Doors of Hell closed and the devils are Chained"
This helps us to see our selfs what we really are,Not under the influence of unseen evil forces,We can watch and improve our selfs more specially by reading the kura'an and going to the musjid,Joining in the Tharavih prayer.
In Ramadan there is a Special night,It is better than one thousand months,It is called Lailathul Kathur,its the night that the Kura'an first reviewed, its a night all our sins can forgiven.
Fasting is also important because it makes the rich equal to the poor,It gives them a chance to realise what life is like for the less fortunate those who have little no food.This helps them to become more charitable and give there wealth to the needy so they too share the blessings of Allah which are enough for all.

How to take Wud'u

Here's How:

1.A Muslim begins every action with intention. To yourself, make the intention to cleanse yourself for prayer, for the sake of Allah.

2.To yourself, say "Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem" (In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful).

3.Wash your hands three times, making sure the water reaches between the fingers and all over the hands.

4.Bring a handful of water to your mouth and rinse it thoroughly three times.

5.Sniff water into your nose three times to clean it. Use your right hand to bring up the water, and your left hand to expel it.

6.Wash your entire face three times.

7.Wash your arms, up to the elbows, three times. Start with the right.

8.Wash your hands and use the wet hands to wipe over your head three times, from front to back and front again.(You must wash your hand each time you whipe your head)

9.Wash your hands and use your wet fingers to wipe the inside and outside of your ears, three times.

10.Wash your feet up to the ankles three times. Start with the right.

Tips

1.Only a small amount of water is needed for wud'u, and Muslims are not to be wasteful.

2.When your doing the Wud'u you have to do every thing 3 times as it is mentioned but it is a Sunnath to do 3 times.You can do that once.Eg:if you have a limited water,or if your in a rush etc... you can do thas once.But you wont get the benifits for the Sunnaths if you did that once.
