So Ramadhan is here again...!
Fasting is for the total purification of the mind body and soul coupled with the right intention. Fasting did not originate with Islam. The Jews and the Christians were involved in fasting much before the coming of Islam. Islam however formalised and made it obligatory upon every healthy adult Muslim to observe fasting – controlling one’s self from worldly pleasure from dawn to dusk – and devoting one’s self in worship in the true spirit of Islam. Worship is not limited to mosques and prayer-places. It is rather the day-to-day life that one leads righteously. Although Ramadhan is known as the holy and blessed month, charity, prayer and all other forms of worship (doing good) is not limited to just these 30 days of the year; and should be enforced in every single day of our lives. Some people believe that religion is for the less intelligent well... each one is entitled to his/her own opinion. However, all religions speak of good things and the closer you stay to it, I guess the safer you are...
"Verily truth is from your lord, let him who will believe and let him who will disbelieve" (Quran 18:29)

Is there a proper and polite way to show recognition and appreciation for Muslim friends who are observing Ramadhan? I am very interested in sending, in the spirit of love, greetings to Muslims everywhere during this very Holy of times. Thank you!
Eh... I'm not quite sure about this one but may be you could try checking out greetings.com or hallmark.com. And the greeting usually used is Ramazan Mubarak which means "Wishing you a happy and blessed Ramazan"
