The holy month of Ramadan is all about taking a step back and improving your own lives and also the lives of others.

The holy month of Ramadan is the month of devotion, reflection, prayer, and fasting. To be prepared for the next day of fasting, eating well between Iftar and Suhoor is crucial. Breaking the fast with dates has always been a Ramadan tradition. It is beneficial because they are high in sugar and vitamins such as potassium and magnesium and are an excellent fibre and carbohydrate source.

Helping people emotionally and financially is one of the core values during the holy month of Ramadan. Unfortunately, at this time of year, fraudsters tend to take advantage of the vulnerability and generosity of people. Here are some tips on sending money safely and preventing you from being a scam victim.

Ramadan is coming! This month is all about caring and supporting each other. It is the perfect time to make memories with family and friends. Spending time with your loved ones never goes in vain as it makes you feel healthier and happier.

Many of us fast every year during Ramadan month, while for some, this might be the first time. Nevertheless, here are some essential tips that all of us should take into consideration during this month of fasting and praying.
