Ramadhan is really a time for Muslims to be nearer to God, through the compulsory fasting (not fast from consuming food and drinks only, but also fast from our Earthly desires), more prayers (such the nightly Tarawih, Witir and other Qiamullail prayers), reading the Al Quran (either in groups (Tedarus) or individually) and many more.
There is however the 'other' side of Ramadhan - see the photos! Opportunity of business in preparation for the forthcoming Eidul Fitri celebrations after the month's fast...Sometimes, I feel that these 'opportunities' engulf the purpose of Ramadhan, and I feel that the essence of Ramadhan is forgotten...
