I love the family being together at sehri and iftar.
The sense of achievement at the end of each fast, particularly on the first day!
Feeling closer to God.
Even though we don’t all start and end Ramadan at the same time, the sense of belonging to something that millions of muslims all over the world are partaking in.
i LOVE iftaar time comments by family...some interesting, some hilarious and some outright annoying lol...i LOVE the courtesy that people extend in general during Ramadhan. i wish we all continue the same after ramadhan as well.
But the one that springs to mind the most, is how courteous people are in this month, and how there seems to be a so much kindness because all the muslims are unified in this month.

true...same here...BUT, unfortunately, all the courtesy and all the goodwill gestures come crashing down with the horrible news of Muslims killing Muslims thru suicide bombings and/or target killing or by random shootings...i hope this year they will NOT do that...aameen
the sense of unity amongst all muslims worldwide.
the inner feeling that makes you want to do good and spread the goodness.
the peace,
the hope that maybe this time all my sins would be forgiven and i will be granted jannah iA,
the hope that the duas that i make earnestly all year round...may come true this month iA.
the spirituality, the feeling of being close to Allah esp in the last 10 odd nights.
I think that since Ramzan is the month of mercy where we are urged to make lots of dua.......there's just this greater feeling of "hope" that things will improve in the future....a greater feeling of hope that prayers will be answered. Also, more of an effort to better yourself as a person.
That everyone pretends to be religious. Then as soon as Eid ka chaand is anounced, it's back to the usual.
Lol, I never quite get that. For example, when girls wear hijabs during the month of Ramadan, and as soon as Eid comes, that's it, the scarves are off and their identities as Muslims are gone. Or when Muslims read their 5 obligatory prayers in this holy month, and after the month, they decide that it's somehow not an obligation anymore.
I don't know how people reason with themselves to stop doing good after they have been doing the same thing day-in-day-out for 29/30 odd days.
