Fasting is known as Roza in our language. It is also known as Soum in the Arabic language. Fasting stands for being in the state of hungry and thirsty for the whole day. A person who is willing to have a fast does not eat or drink anything whole day. He offers prayers and read the Holy Quran.

This time starts before the prayer and sunrise. People awake and take their meal and drink water before the sun rises. After eating the meal and drinking enough water, they go to the mosque to offer prayer. It is very beneficial for health. Awaking in the early morning helps them to stay active all the day long. After this activity, they stay fresh and cool all the day.
After the time (Ending time of fast):
This time starts with sunset. People go to the home and arrange different foods and meal for completing their fasting. People feel pleasure and special calm at the time of completion of fasting. They arrange different dishes and foods for that time.

In the Holy Quran Allah says;
The person feels special happiness two times in the life, once when he completes his fast and other time is when he will meet with Almighty Allah in the heaven.
Double rewards for every activity:
In the holy month of Ramadan Muslims get the double reward on every activity which is done for Allah. Prayers and other religious activities will get the double reward from Allah. So everyone tries his best to complete all the activities in time.
Devils are captured:
In the holy month of Ramadan, all devils on the earth are captured till ending of the month. People feel easier in completing their activities regarding Islam. In our life Devils try to keep us away from good works and try to get us involved in bad acts.
During the holy month of Ramadan, people get closer and feel love for each other, that why because they are all together in feeling hunger and thirst.
Our holy prophet has said;
The person who has recited a single verse of Quran Paak in the holy month of Ramadan, he is the person who has recited the whole Quran.
We can image that reading the Holy Quran daily has so much reward.
In the holy month of Ramadan our bad acts are controlled very easily because we don't eat all the day and we have only thought of eating the meal and we don’t think about other activities, so it is very easy to avoid from other bad acts.
