Ramadan


Ramadan Ramadan-ul-Mubarik is the 9th month of Islamic year this is the month lasts 29 – 30 days of fasting for observant Muslims. All Muslims refrain from eating and drinking and also learn the lesson of patience, calm, kindness, humility and spirituality. Muslims gain sake of Allah by fasting and more offering prayers. In whole day the Muslims stop them-self from eating and other wrong deeds. The timing of Ramadan change every year during the timing of Dawn and sunset timing.Particularly this year, when a wave of uprisings is underway in parts of the Middle East and North Africa, the threat of increased violence is real as protests are expected to intensify. Especially in Egypt, where Copts have come under attack following the fall of the Hosni Mubarak regime in February, more violence against Christians is expected.


Pakistan has beefed up security ahead of Ramadan apprehending tensions around mosques and other places of worship, according to The Nation, a Pakistani newspaper.Open Doors has found that Christian persecution has been most severe in Muslim-majority countries. Eight of the top 10 countries on its 2011 World Watch List of the worst persecutors of Christians have Islamic governments: Iran (2), Afghanistan (3), Saudi Arabia (4), Somalia (5), Maldives (6), Yemen (7), Iraq (8) and Uzbekistan (9). Additionally, 38 of the top 50 on the list are Muslim-dominated societies.
