History of Ramadan:
Islam is the second-largest religion in the world and Prophet Muhammad who was the founder of Islam. At the age of 40 years, Muhammad met an angel named Jibril in 610 A.D and told him that he was a messenger to Allah and asked to recite the lines after her. These lines were as follows:
“Recite in the name of your Lord Who creates.
Creates man from a clot.
Recite: And your Lord is the Most Bountiful
Who teaches by the pen,
He teaches man what he does not know.”
For 23 years, the angel Jibril met Muhammad many times and taught him about holy knowledge and he came to know what Allah wants from his people to maintain faith on the earth. The Prophet Muhammad asked his followers to pass the month of Ramadan in fasting, prayers followed with the celebration in the month-end as a mark of respect to God (Allah).
