What is allowed and not allowed during Ramadan?

Ramadan is a great and holy month for Muslims. In this month, every Muslim can get Allah’s grace with a little effort. Muslims fast during this whole month. Ramadan is a ninth month of Islamic lunar calendar. 

Ramadan is a great month due to some reasons:

The first reason is that it is a month in which Allah revealed the first verse of the Holy Quran to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).

The second reason is that Allah says it is my month.

The third reason is that in this month, Hell’s doors are closed and Paradise’s doors are opened.

The fourth reason is that in this month, one reward equivalent to seventy rewards.

Fifth reason in this month, a night comes which is better than the nights of one thousand months in the term of rewards.

Sixth reason in this month, Umrah is equal to Hajj only in term of rewards.

The seventh reason is that fasting during the Ramadan is one of five pillars of Islam, therefore, it is very essential for every person.

Most of Muslims select this month to perform their Ramadan. If one can get seventy rewards beside one reward in this month then if he/she should perform his/her Umrah during the Ramadan, then he/she can get uncountable rewards which will be unlimited. Best travel agencies help to perform the Umrah by giving Ramadan Umrah Package.

According to the above information, Ramadan is a very sacred month and everyone wants to get all the rewards of this month. It is very necessary for everyone to know what is prohibited in this month and what is allowed in this month?
