RAMADAN MUBARIK TO ALL!
The month of Ramadan is for muslims to practice and others to observe and participate in offerings,submission and charity.
It is the month long experience of cleansing our body and souls.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar. The Month of Ramadan is also when it is believed the Holy Quran “was sent down from heaven, a guidance unto men, a declaration of direction, and a means of Salvation”.It is during this month that Muslims fast. It is called the Fast of Ramadan and lasts the entire month. Ramadan is a time when Muslims concentrate on their faith and spend less time on the concerns of their everyday lives. It is a time of worship and contemplation.
During the Fast of Ramadan strict restraints are placed on the daily lives of Muslims. They are not allowed to eat or drink during the daylight hours. Smoking and sexual relations are also forbidden during fasting. At the end of the day the fast is broken with prayer and a meal called the iftar. In the evening following the iftar it is customary for Muslims to go out visiting family and friends. The fast is resumed the next morning.
According to the Holy Quran:
One may eat and drink at any time during the night “until you can plainly distinguish a white thread from a black thread by the daylight: then keep the fast until night”
The good that is acquired through the fast can be destroyed by five things –the telling of a lie
slander
denouncing someone behind his back
a false oath
greed or covetousnessThese are considered offensive at all times, but are most offensive during the Fast of Ramadan.
Now coming to this upcoming night drive!
Pls all those interested to make sure that we finalize the list of participants by wed evening so as to have a proper sahour arrangments.
The drive shall not be difficult as it will be a night drive and it shall be not too far off from sharjah and Dubai.
Night drives historically are conducted on specified routes and tracks,as night driving in the desert is probably the most trickiest drives due to darkness the height calculations just tend to fail and same is for depressions.
A word of caution for all PLEASE DO NOT GO OFF TRACKS AT ALL!
Just follow the lead.
