Ramadan

Ramadan is the ninth month of the lunar Islamic calendar, which lasts 29 or 30 days according to the visual sightings of the crescent moon according to numerous biographical accounts compiled in Hadiths. It is the Muslim month of fasting, in which Muslims refrain from dawn until sunset from eating, drinking, and sexual relations(nafs).

We fast in this month for the sake of demonstrating submission to Allah and to offer more prayers and Quran recitations.

Lafaz Niat Puasa Sebulan:
To recite for a month of fasting:

Nawaitu sauma syahri ramadhana hazihis sanati kullihi lillahi ta’ala.
Maksudnya: “Sahaja aku berpuasa sebulan pada bulan Ramadhan bagi tahun ini kerana Allah Ta’ala”.

Lafaz niat puasa:
To recite for fasting:

Nawaitu sauma ghadin ‘an adaa i, fardhi syahri ramadhana hazihis sanati lillahi ta’ala.
Maksudnya: “Sahaja aku berpuasa pada esok hari fardhu di bulan Ramadhan pada tahun ini kerana Allah Ta’ala”.

Lafaz niat buka puasa:
To recite for break fasting:

Allahumma laka sumtu wabika amantu wa’alaa rizqika afthartu birahmati yaa arhamar raahimin.
Maksudnya: “Ya Allah bagi Engkau aku berpuasa dan dengan Engkau beriman aku dengan rezeki Engkau aku berbuka dengan rahmat Engkau wahai yang Maha Pengasih dan Penyayang”.

During fasting from dawn to sunset, not allowed to eat, drink, smoke, or sex. Encouraged eat a little meat before dawn, makruh to bathe more often, avoid useless and evil talk, do pious deeds, have devotions in mosque, memorized Qur'an, obey parents, be kind to wives, avoid quarrelling.
Happy Fasting :D
