We are often so involved in our daily activities that we don’t get time to spend with our loved ones. Ramadan gives us a reason to be together. Twice a day for the entire month, the families sit for Suhoor and Iftaar and get a chance to reconnect, a habit we can continue doing even after Ramadan.

The fast-paced world has curbed our sense of patience. With everything happening so rapidly, we find ourselves always in a hurry to get things done. If something does not go our way, we become irritated and lash out. A habit to adopt this month is patience. Not only does Ramadan teaches us patience, it brings us peace as well. Once we relax and take things slowly, the end results will always come out better.

Not only does Ramadan teaches us patience, it brings us peace as well. Once we relax with a cup of hot Lipton tea and take things slowly, the end results will always come out better.

Holding grudges and intolerance is now rampant in today’s society. This adds to stress levels making an individual extremely unhappy. Ramadan brings with it the lesson of kindness and forgiveness. If someone has hurt you, try to forgive and forget. Not only will this strengthen your ties, it will also make you happier and stress-free.

With things happening so fast now, no one gets time to just sit back and relax. Ramadan allows us to take a break from the hectic life and connect back with God. Spending time in solitude, prostrating before the Almighty brings a unique sense of peace to the soul.
