The Holy month of Ramadan


One of the five Pillars of Islam is fasting the month Ramadan and it is the ninth month in the Arabic Islamic Calendar. Ramadan is a word was taken from a Ramda'a which mean or taken from Heat because Ramadan month usually comes in the summer time and this month was none from the Arabs before Islam.


Each and every year I wait for this month longingly, it’s different than any other month I feel reassured and peace in it. I usually like to take my annual leave in Ramadan, so I decided to go to Makah with my friends to do Omrah. We went there in the last ten days of Ramadan, We spent most of our day in the Mosque which we call it Al Haram reading Quran and praying. I start my day in Makah in the early morning, first I pray Al Fajer prayer and it's time start before the sunrise in one hour. After that I went back to my room in the hotel to rest until noon time, then I will go to the Haram to stay there until the breakfast time which after the sunset. This is mostly what we do when we go to Makah
