At the discussion session, the speakers said Ramadan is a month of self-restraint, self-purification and for becoming conscious of the Omnipresent Almighty. People also learn to become god-fearing and to stay alert against the tendencies to committing any sin even in secrecy.

The month also teaches about ethics, honesty and humanitarian values. The speakers urged the young generation to absorb the moral values of the month of fasting.
