Ramadan Diary
The environment created during Ramadan is one in which conducting the religious rituals and pious acts becomes easy. On the collective level, there is a rush in masjids, observance of religious rituals and empathy displayed towards the poor. This positive environment reinforces the pious acts undertaken by the fasting Muslims. Every muslim tries to earn more rewards, please God and refrain from evil.
Once Ramadan is over, this positive environment too ends, so the external motivation is gone. Only few Muslims, then sustain the Ramadan spirit over the next eleven months and many adorn the religious fervor only in this month, while going back to their old deeds once Ramadan is over. This relapse on the old days defeats the purpose of Ramadan spirit and depicts lackadaisical approach on the part of fasting Muslims. Ramadan spirit demands that it's essence and esoteric aspects be maintained for the whole year.
