CAIRO, May 5 (Xinhua) -- Ramadan Kareem (generous)! This's how some Muslims exchange greetings when they meet during the holy fasting month of Ramadan. It means Ramadan is a good time to be generous.
"The best charity is that given in Ramadan." In the Mideast countries, generous people and charity groups love donating foods and cooking free meals for the needy people during Ramadan to spread love, care and kindness among the local societies.
