Ramadan isn’t just about food and is primarily about seeking nearness to God spiritually and being more pious. Besides food, Muslims are meant to shift the emphasis in their lives to spend less time thinking about materialistic things. In a nutshell, Ramadan is a time of spiritual reflection, improvement and increased devotion and worship. We hope you enjoyed our series of Ramzan pics!
