The American newspaper of hailed the holy month of Ramadan as the month of Purification and sacrifice.

Huffington Post that was created in 2005 for the purpose of transferring information regarding the popular customs of the U.S. people wrote Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic lunar calendar, and everyday of this month, Muslims around the world refrain from eating, drinking, and other physical needs from dawn until sunset.

This holy month is venerated by Muslims because of several reasons. Fasting during Ramadan is the fifth pillar of Islam.

Huffington post also added: The Holy Quran was revealed in this month. Rewards are given and sins are forgiven for those who spend the days fasting and the nights praying. The gates of paradise are opened, the gates of hell are closed, and Satan is fettered. All rewards and sins in this month are believed to be multiplied.

In July 2012, Huffington Post got the first ranking in the 15 interested political sites of the United States of America wrote that fast is one of the fifth pillars of life for the Muslims.

The practices in Ramadan include: fasting, increased prayers and recitations of Quran, and charity. We offer iftaar (the evening meal with which we break our fasts) to those who are fasting.

Ramadan is much more profound than simply abstaining from eating and drinking. It is a time of spiritual reflection and worship, a time to purify the soul, refocus attention to God and our faith, and practice self-sacrifice.

Huffington Post regarding the participation of non-Muslims in Ramadan tradition wrote that the non-Muslims are also free to take fast during Ramadan month. Many of the non-Muslims take fast and even they perform prayer with their Muslim friends and families. The non-Muslims are mostly invited to take part in the prayer and iftaar (the evening meal with which we break our fasts).

Every part of the body must be restrained during Ramadan. The tongue must be restrained from backbiting and gossip. The eyes must be restrained from looking at unlawful things. The hand must not touch or take anything that does not belong to it. The ears must refrain from listening to idle talk or obscene words. The feet must refrain from going to sinful places.

Ramadan, however, is not merely a physical sacrifice. Ramadan is the total commitment of our body and soul to purify ourselves.
Huffington Post at the end of its report wrote, Islam has allowed the pregnant women, the patients, the travelers and all of those persons who are in the risk not to have fast.
