Ramadan's days and nights are coming to an end. Though some people were dreading its coming, most of them now wish Ramadan lasted for the whole year. Unfortunately, it is now time to bid the holy month farewell.

The holy month of Ramadan is a month of mercy, worship and forgiveness. Its holy atmosphere awakens religious duties in people, so that they pay more attention to prayers at mosque, read the holy Quran, pay the Zakat and do many other good deeds. They also pay less attention to the temporal matters of pleasure, and even forget to think about committing deeds against Allah and the Prophet Mohammed's instructions.

It is noticeable that Ramadan is marked with a sense of mercifulness among people. Those who are hard-hearted all year round become kind and merciful in this holy month. They help and forgive each other, and rarely say no when asked for help by poor people. For this, all of us should cry together: “we will miss you Ramadan.””
