<a href="http://fatendyab-crazylife.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Ramadan</a> is a 
time to practice self-restraint; a time to cleanse the body and soul from impurities and re-focus one's self on the worship of God.
(Ashab-i Kiram are the people who had seen Mohammed aleyhissalam and listened to Him).
There are five pillars in the Islamic faith and fasting is one.
