For more than a billion Muslims around the world, the holy month of Ramadan is a period of spiritual reflection and prayer when they do not eat or drink from dawn to dusk. They are also expected to do charitable work to help the less fortunate during that time. The Islamic world believes Ramadan is the month when the Quran was first revealed by God to Prophet Muhammed.   But many say the festival is being relentlessly commercialised and is losing its traditional beliefs of sacrifice, restraint and charity.   http://english.aljazeera.net/programmes/rizkhan/2010/09/20109275519942109.html   What do you think?
