๐ Followers of Islam are called #muslims.
๐ Muslims are monotheistic and worship one, all-knowing God,
Allah(Arabic: ุขูุฉ).
๐ This #religion began in the 7th century A.D., though its #roots are believed to begin in the #city of #mecca, located in modern-day Saudi Arabia.

๐ธ In the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, there is a #religious#holiday called Ramadan (Arabic: ุฑูู ูุถูุงู).
๐ธ The exact #dates of #ramadan#change#every#year .
๐Ramadan is the Muslim holy month of #fasting .
๐Three words defining Ramadan:
๐ธ Fasting
๐ธ Praying
๐ธ being around loved ones.
Ramadan teaches Muslims to practice #self-discipline, self-control, #sacrifice , and #empathy .
โขโโโขโฐWhy is #fasting so #important this #month ?
Fasting symbolises one of the #five#pillars that constitute the
main #belief and #actions of a practising #muslim .
โขโโโขโฐThe Five Pillars are the core beliefs and practices of Islam:
1)Profession of Faith (shahada).
2)Prayer (salat).
3)Alms (zakat). I
4) ๐ธ Fasting (sawm). In the ninth #month of the Islamic #calendar , all #healthy#adults Muslims must refrain from eating and drinking to renew their awareness and gratitude for all that God has provided in their lives, including the Qur'an, which was revealed for the first time during this month.
5) Pilgrimage (hajj).
๐ธ Ramadan is #healthy -
Low cholesterol increases cardiovascular health, greatly reducing the risk of suffering from #heart#disease, a #heart attack, or a #stroke .
๐ The holiday of Eid al-Fitr (Arabic:ุนูุฏ ุงููุทุฑ) marks the end of Ramadan.
๐ One of the first books I read as a child was 'El Manuscrito Carmesi' in Spanish, and in English, it's 'El Manuscript Crimesรญ' written by Antonio Gala. It is a historical novel about the Moors in Spain during the last period of AL-Andaluxโฆ, and it taught me very interesting things about the 'Ummah'.
