For a Muslim, Ramadan is the time of the year when he goes through a spiritual and inner renovation, a time to ponder over the purpose of his existence in this world. It is the time of the year when he atones for his misdeeds, redeems himself and turns to God in an effort to draw closer to Him. It is during this month that he relishes the inner joy of fasting, helping those less privileged, and experiencing the joy of recognizing the blessings of God and giving thanks to Him. It is the time to experience all the spiritual blessings and joys that Islam brings to the human soul and to humbly submit oneself before God.
