The word ‘Ramadan’ is derived from the Arabic word Ramdh (رمض), which means, ‘intensely hot’ or ‘burning’. The month of Ramadan is named as such for three reasons:
• One who fasts becomes hot due to thirst.
• Worship and devotion in this month burns away the traces of sin.
• Devotion in this month produces the necessary warmth of love in man for his Creator and fellow beings.
