THE BLESSINGS OF RAMADAN.....

IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE.
ALL PRAISE IS DUE TO GOD ALONE, THE LORD OF ALL THE WORLDS.
PEACE AND PRAYERS BE UPON HIS FINAL PROPHET AND MESSENGER...

THE CLOCK OF NATURE

The journey of the sun determines the time during the day, the times of the daily prayers and the daily routine of fasting during Ramadan.

The Phases of the moon allow one to know about the month and its intervals. The Muslim calender follows the phases of the moon, more commonly known as the lunar calender. The months of the Ramadan fast and Hajj (pilgrimage) are based on the lunar calender.

The lunar months have a bearing on the ebb and flow of the ocean tides. It is also believed to affect humans physiology (especially the reproductive cycle) and the way humans behave. The world lunatic comes from the Latin 'Luna' meaning moon.

"They will be ask you about the new moons.
Say: 'they indicate the periods for [various doings of] mankind,
Including the pilgrimage.."
