IMPORTANCE OF RAMADAN FOR MUSLIMS
Ramadan is a period of devotion, fasting, charity-giving and self-accountability. It is also a month of forgiving, where every Muslim gets closer to God. According to Muslims, the Angel Gabriel descended from heaven to reveal the Quran, God’s message to the Holy Prophet Muhammad, marked by 29-30 days of fasting. Celebrating this festival is a way to honour Muhammad and develop more self-control. READ MORE about the day here.

Thailand, Southern Insurgent Group to Halt Violence
BANGKOK: The Thai government on Saturday hailed ?significant progress? in the latest talks with the main group fighting an insurgency in Thailand?s Muslim deep south after the sides agreed to stop violence during the upcoming holy month of Ramadan. A Thai government delegation and representatives of the main rebel group, the Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN), met face-to-face earlier this week in Malaysia in the latest round of talks after peace dialogue resumed in January after a two-year pause because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
More than 7,300 people have been killed in insurgency related violence since 2004 when a decades-old rebellion flared up in the provinces of Narathiwat, Yala, Pattani and parts of Songkhla, a predominantly Malay-speaking Muslim area in majority Buddhist Thailand.
The BRN said in a statement that the two sides have agreed to stop violence during Ramadan, which runs from April 3 to May 14, to ?create a safe and prosperous atmosphere? for the community as a process of ?confidence-building? to ?establish meaningful peace.? (PTI)
