MosIem Traditions.

Ramadan is tke month exalted by
Moslems above all others. In that
month the Koran-according to Mos
lem tradition-was brought down by
Gabriel from heaven and delivered to
men in small sections. In that month,
Mohammed was accustomed to retire
from Mecca to the cave Of Hira, for
prayer and meditation. In that month
Abraham, Moses and other prophets
received their divine revelations. In
that month the doors of heaven are
always open, the passages to hell are
shut, and the devils are chained" So
