Ramadan is said to be the perfect opportunity for Muslims to reap “infinite reward”
The holiday is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and Muslims believe it is the month in which the first verse of Islam’s holy book, the Quran, was revealed to Muhammad.
Following Ramadan comes Eid At Fitr. Meaning Festival of the Breaking of the Fast, the event is the earlier of the two official holidays celebrated within Islam. The religious holiday sees the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting Ramadan and the first day of the next month in the Islamic calendar, Shawwal. Although, not a public holiday in the UK, for many Muslim countries it is.
Fasting at Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam – the fundamental rules all Muslims follow – along with the Shahadah , Salat , Zakat and the Hajj pilgrimage. What are the rules on relationships and marriage in Ramadan? During the hours of fasting of each Ramadan, intimate activity is not allowed. This means it's only okay for couples to kiss, hug, cuddle and engage in sex in the hours before fasting begins and after it ends - so long as they are husband and wife.
