A faithful muslim believes in giving alms to the poor and helping the one in need. In a way it is considered the climax of Ramzaan and Muslims keep awake all night praying or listening to sermons by Ulema or the high priest. Ramzan is derived from the Arabic word ramida or ar-ramad which translates to intense scorching heat and dryness, especially the ground. It is believed the word Ramzan is so called to indicate the heating sensation in the stomach because of thirst. This month is dedicated to the worship of God, inner reflection and self-control.
