Why is ramadan celebrated?

In  my family we celebrate Ramadan. Me and my family do this tradition because we believe when we do this tradition we will be closer to God and grow spiritually. We do this tradition by fasting.

What is fasting?

Fasting is when people don't eat, drink, and smoke. In Islam we do this to cleanse our body. Muslims believe that by doing fasting Ramadan teaches use to be self discipline, self control, empathy for those who is in need or not fortunate, and encouraging other to be a nicer and grateful human. Fasting is also is a way to learn patience and break bad habits. Fasting is also one of the five pillars of islam, Muslims fast as an act of worship, a chance to get closer to God, and realize how it must feel to people who can't afford food. The Qur'an was first showed during this month. People also believe that on Ramadan the gates of Heaven will be open and the gates of Hell are closed and the devils are chained up in Hell. If people doesn't fast they have to do kaffarah to do that you have to donate money, food, or something that will help someone in need and fast again.

People celebrate this day by decorating houses, eating, praying, and fasting. People would fast through the holy month and on the last day we will celebrate Idul fitri. Family's will come to they're grandparents house and gather for a family reunion. In the morning we would wear are cloths right away then we would bow to our parents and they bless us and we say thank you for everything they gave and say sorry for you're bad things you did.

Before the day, me and my family would go shopping for clothes. Usually every Ramadan we pick a color theme for the clothes, usually we do the color white, Green, or blue. After that we prepared a big feast and some snacks. We don’t really decorate our house but we decorate with lights, lanterns, and fireworks.
