This publication outlines the need for Muslims to re-focus on the reason for fasting in the month of Ramadan. Due to many decades, if not centuries of confusing traditions and customs with Islamic principles, the real purpose of Ramadan has changed. This book outlines what is needed to be done to reestablish the close connection with Allah. The practice of eating exotic, extravagant foods and of over-eating takes away the spirituality that we desperately need during this Holy Month. This book is intended to be read well before Ramadan, to initiate the changes required for a spiritually rewarding Ramadan.
