Today would be the start of Ramadan to all Muslim people
all around the world. It begins when a new moon is sighted at the ninth month
which last for almost 30 nights (the sightings of the next new moon marks the
end of Ramadan).

| Ramadan Mubarak to all Muslims |
During this blessed month, all Muslims observe complete
fasting during broad daylight. Abstinence from any food, drinks, sex, and other
physical needs are mandatory. But, more than the fasting, Ramadan is the month
for repentance, spiritual reflection and worship, and increased generosity.
Ramadan is not only for Muslim people, so as myself as part
of the Christian expats here in the Middle East, I encourage the non-Muslims to
support our colleagues by not eating, drinking, and smoking in public places
from sunrise to sunset. By this, we truly respect their religion.
I wish Allah will hear all the prayers of my Muslim
colleagues and friends!
FYI: to the information of all, the phrase “Ramadan Kareem”
is not correct to wish. Literally, Ramadan Kareem means Ramadan
is generous. The preferable phrase to greet would be “Ramadan Mubarak”
which means Blessed Ramadan.
