The month of Ramadan in comparison with other months of the year is like prayer time in comparison with other times of the day.

Just as the times for prayer during a day are meant for us to find release from the prison of this material world for a moment, the month of Ramadan is an opportunity during the year in which with this month-long abstinence, the soul becomes free from material influences, takes a breath and gains light.
