Imam khomeini the world religious and spiritual leader used to put stress on availing opportunities of self training and self purification the holy month of ramadan. Imam recommended devotees and believer to strengthen themselves morally during Ramadan. According to Imam, the holy month of Ramadan might have been prescribed, because it is a month in which the holy Prophet has perceived the truth. After this perception, the angels and the Qur'an have been sent down. Ramadan, which is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is a period of fasting for Muslims.
Fasting in Ramadan helps Muslims grow closer to God, the Almighty and seek His proximity. Muslims fast from early dawn to sunset every day throughout the month. The fast requires Muslims to abstain from food, drink, marital relations and ill-conduct during the fast. Fasting, which teaches how to control and discipline our desires, also make us learn how to say "no" to things that are otherwise permissible and good, but are forbidden during fasting.
