How to overcome challenges during Ramadhan (part 3)

Third part of "The Ramadhan " is up next...

As the entry mention earlier, the Ramadhan month isn't just for the delightful food but it is where Muslims are to be tested in both physical and mental.This is where they enter into a period of decipline and worship. Ramadhan are very famous with the “Tarawih" which is performed only during Ramadan of the Islamic calendar after Salāt of Isha'a. People of Muslim believe it is customary to attempt a khatm "complete recitation" of the Qur'an in Ramadan by reciting at least one juz' per night in tarawih. Tarawih prayers are considered optional, not mandatory. A majority of Muslims also also regard Tarawih prayers as Sunat al-Muakkadah.

It is recommended that Muslims attend the tarawih prayers in the mosque (after 'isha, the last evening prayer), to pray in congregation.  This is true for both men and women.  However, one may also perform the prayers individually at home. These prayers are voluntary, but are strongly recommended and widely practiced.

Ramadhan is coming. It is prosperous month and it is a month for all the muslims to seize their lust. Ok, that's a blessing, but how we're gone to overcome this ramadhan season? I believe there's a lot of challenge we have to face in our fasting month.
