A spiritual month. I do love the person of me during Ramadan.
My Christian friend says she feels cool in Ramadan though she does not do the religious duties requested from Muslims but she likes the spiritual atmosphere that takes place at this time of the year.
Peace.

"The fourth pillar of Islam, which is fasting, is practiced during the month of Ramadan. Ramadan is derived from an Arabic word for intense heat and scorched ground. (in Arabic: رÙ
ضاÙ, Ramaá¸Än) – or Ramzan in several countries – and it is the ninth month of the Islamic (Hijri) calendar, established in the year 638 CE. It is considered the most venerated, blessed and spiritually-beneficial month of the Islamic year. Prayers, fasting, charity, and self-accountability are especially stressed at this time; religious observances associated with Ramadan are kept throughout the month.
"Ramadan is the month during which the Quran was revealed, providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book. Those of you who witness this month shall fast therein. Those who are ill or traveling may substitute the same number of other days. Allah wishes for you convenience, not hardship, that you may fulfill your obligations, and to glorify Allah for guiding you, and to express your appreciation."[2:185]
The most holy night during the Ramadan, Laylat al-Qadr (Night of Power). It has more blessing than a thousand months. the Quran Chapter 97"

The last month of the Islamic calendar where Muslims abstain and refrain from doing a lot things as a means of "spiritual cleansing" (for lack of better words). This means fasting (eating less food, particularly during the day), no sexual activity, no partying and not taking part in other recreational activities. Again the whole concept is very spiritual and way of better connecting with God.

Fasting in the holy month of Ramadan is one of the foremost of the five pillars of Islam, as well as being among the greatest of the symbols of Islam. That fasting has many purposes relating both to the Lordship of God and thanksgiving for His bounties, and to man’s individual and collective life, as well as to his self-training and self-discipline.
One of the multiple purposes of fasting connected with the Lordship of God is that God manifests the Perfection of His Lordship and His being the All-Merciful and All-Compassion-ate upon the surface of the earth which He has designed as a table upon which He has laid out all the varieties of His bounties in a way beyond the imagination of the inhabitants of the earth. Nevertheless, people cannot perfectly discern the reality of this situation because of heedlessness and the blinding veil of causality. But in the holy month of Ramadan, the believers, like an army waiting for the order ‘March!’, display a manner of worshipping in expectation of the command of ‘Help yourself!’ towards the end of the day, and they thus respond to that magnificent and universal Mercy with a comprehensive and harmonious act of collective worship. I wonder whether those who do not participate in this sublime act of worship and share in the honor of being so favored deserve to be called human.
Fasting is the key to a true, sincere, comprehensive and universal thanksgiving

a month of fasting between sunrise and sunset. One is not allowed food or drink and no sex, the exception being that a married couple MAY hold hands in public.
