Holiday Celebrates The Revealing

Ramadan began Saturday. It is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Ramadan is special to Muslims because it is the month that the Islamic holy scripture, the Quran was revealed. Ramadan typically lasts 30 days and concludes in communal prayers and Eid Al-Fitr, which can become a three-day celebration. The end of Ramadan depends on the sighting of the new moon.

During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food, drink and other sensual pleasures from the break of dawn to sunset. So sex is allowed when the sunsets, but no afternoon delight.

It is easy to greet a Muslim observing Ramadan. Say: "Ramadan mubarak," or "happy Ramadan." At Eid Al-Fitr, it is nice to say, "Eid mubarak" or "happy Eid." If those words are to difficult for you to speak, say it with your wallet and enjoy a Mecca Cola from Citgo after you fill your SUV with petro.

"I'd like to teach to world to see."
