17th JUNE 2015 SUNSET RAMZAN 30 DAYS ROJA( FASTING ) MONTH STARTS
When is Ramadan in 2015?until Friday, the 17th of July. Note that in the Muslim calander, a holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day, so observing Muslims will celebrate Ramadan on the sunset of Wednesday, the 17th of June. Although Ramadan is always on the same day of the Islamic calendar, the date on the Gregorian calendar varies from year to year, since the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar and the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar. This difference means Ramadan moves in the Gregorian calendar approximately 11 days every year. The date of Ramadan may also vary from country to country depending on whether the moon has been sighted or not. The dates provided here are based on the dates adopted by theFiqh Council of North America for the celebration of Ramadan. Note that these dates are based on astronomical calculations to affirm each date, and not on the actual sighting of the moon with the naked eyes. This approach is accepted by many, but is still being hotly debated. Ramadan 2014 - Good Change is the Total Idea.
Fasting is institution as old as atom. It is nature’s ancient universal remedy for many problems. Animals instinctively fast, when they become ill. We go on vacation from work to relax, we recharge and to regain new perspectives in life. Why do we not occasional breaks from food. Though we generally think of fasting when people hear about Muslims fasting, they know Ramadan. Every year (Ramadan 2014, this year) muslims fast for that one month, i.e 30 days. However, that is the obligatory principle of fasting.

The principle of fasting because they address so many different aspects of human psychology, physical needs, material needs, their emotional needs; this is not restricted to one time of the year. And that’s why the principle of fasting in islam includes the whole year. Some ramadan 2014 quotes and messages are here.
Socrates, plato and Aristotle all three fathers of western medicine. Hypocrisy, gallon practiced and believed in fasting.
People ask, why is it that, if allah wants me to worship more, why should I fast. Not eat and not drink. How does not eating and not drinking help me focus better, worship better throughout the day. And there is very nice answer to this question. They say that when the stomach is full the rest of the body parts become hungry.
When is ramadan?
Your eyes become hungry, your ears become hungry and all other parts, your desire. But when your stomach is hungry; the rest of your body parts become full. And if we were to take the example; if there is someone in the desert or someone who is starving and he is really really hungry and he needs to eat first. Do you think, this person has time for gossip. No.
In this holy month of ramadan, may you be blessed with good health, prosperity and may allah's blessings always shine upon you and your family. 
Because his ears become full, he has time to anything to listen, no. Because his stomach is empty and his ears are full. He is really starving and he needs to eat, and his main concern is to find something. As the stomach become full, the rest of the body parts are full. It kills all your desires, and now you can focus on other things. You can focus on ramadan quran. You can focus on your worship and improving your acts of worship and that’s the whole reason why allah tells us to put the food and drinks aside so that you can focus and worship allah.
Ramadan 2014 Mubarak - Practice Patience in Ramadan  What does it mean to fast in Ramadan 2014? Lot of people who are fasting and I heard people ask, what is the definition of fasting? They, tell you. Fasting, is when you don’t eat and you don’t drink from sun up until sun down. And this is a simple definition and people still use it. Fasting and the word sun, it means to abstain. So its not about abstaining food and drink but its abstaining from everything else that’s bad. From lying, from cheating from anything that is bad. Not just eating and drinking. Unfortunately people now focus on what goes into their mouth and nobody comes out of their mouth. You will find someone is so adamant for a drop of water in his mouth and they split 100 times not to drink a sliest portion of water into their through. Make sure you charge your battery well this ramadan. Its hard to see the straight path when your lights are din. 
They will take a shower in Ramadan as they know the cold water will hit their ears. Who drinks from his ears? You don’t even smell good food. All these things are not required in the religion. But the main concern is, nothing goes in. And yet they don’t care about what comes out.
So, one of the things about acts of worship is the way you behave. And so, fasting is supposed to impact your manners, your behaviors and the language that you use and make you more truthful, not lie, so on and so forth.
So, it’s not just about what goes in but more importantly about what comes out.
Ramadan is the month in while was send down the Qur'an as a guide to manakind, also clear signs for guidance and judgment between right and wrong. So everyone of you who is present during that month should spend it in fasting. Ramadan Mubarak.  The whole idea about the month of Ramadan is that we are supposed to acquire and do good deeds and habits during for that month that will continue for the rest of the year. What happens unfortunately, if two people have two different life styles. Lifestyle, A which is how I live outside of Ramadan and lifestyle B which is how I change in Ramadan. In Ramadan, they pray, they fast, they don’t use profanity. They guy who smokes, stop smoking; A man who bites his finger nails, stops biting them. Every possible improvements they make in ramada. And then when eid comes they go back to life style A. Ramadan is over, the Koran goes back into the shelves, collects dust, stop fasting for the whole year , stops all the other kinds of good deeds, stops giving charities, stops being generous because they want to go to lifestyle A. A story on Id/Eid-ul-Fitr 2014 is here. When these scholars start speaking about Ramadan who is referred to as schools, you are supposed to learn something in this school to continue for the rest of the year. So its not just that you are good in Ramadan and I can move back to what I am outside Ramadan, its for me to acquire good habits during Ramadan and continue them for the rest of the year and rest of the life. Let me tell you a Ramadan story.
In a muslim country, there was a man who prayed only in Ramadan. Outside the Ramadan, he stopped praying immediately. So in that country, they announced eid on television. Eid is the next day and they announced it in the news. Which he was praying the TV was on, the reporter said that tomorrow is EID and the guy went out his prayer. This is a very extreme example and different people do this in different degrees. We have how we behave in Ramadan and how we change andwhole idea is to not change even after ramada.
How does the stomach of the believer compare to that of a disbeliever?
The believe whatever they participate in is full of blessings. Allah blesses him. From that, we have to understand that a lot of benefit comes out of a very small amount. So the amount of food may be small, but the benefit that Allah allows is a lot.
A hypocrite is someone who out worldly processes to be a Muslim. But in reality, they conceal, all those attributes of a disbeliever. So that's the nature of a disbelief in a sense and nothing could ever satisfy that person. Because there heart, soul and their mind the world and the things in the world and these worldly things never give the full satisfaction. The real satisfaction comes from knowing allah, remembering allah, and worshipping him. That's what gives rest to the soul and that's what gives satisfaction to the heart. And the soul and the heart are connected to the body. And if soul and the heart are at rest and the body of the believer comes to rest and lives in peace. And the whole process will be the exact opposite in the case of disbeliever. And that's why they eat for seven stomachs and the believer eats for one. What is the QA’DAH fast?

The relationship between fasting and controlling ones desire is a very direct and correlated one. The wisdom behind this is any individual who is thinking about food will not have time to think about his other desires.
