what should we not do in Ramadan? Here is my short list:
1- Ramadan is not for arguing or debating over the Hilal or moon sighting, so don't waste time debating this issue, rather focus on learning something that would benefit yourself and your family.

2- Ramadan is not for overeating, overindulging in food, drinks, or obsessive cooking, so eat in moderation that which is halal, organic and wholesome, and try to shed a few pounds. Fasting should teach us self control and discipline over our bodies and over what we consume. With so much in the news these days about the "fattening of America," reporting that 66% of adult Americans are overweight or obese, there is a compelling argument to be made that we should eat less, lose weight, and be more conscious of our health. It is our annual chance to shed those extra pounds, but unfortunately most of us do the opposite! Our beloved Prophet (PBUH) taught us moderation and self control in all aspects of life, and forbade us to harm ourselves, directly or indirectly.

3- Ramadan is not for Haram, so avoid Haram in selling, buying, eating, drinking, smoking, and in your relationships. If we can abstain from what is permissible and even our necessities during our fasting, then why can't we abstain from what is prohibited?

4- Ramadan is not for cheating, lying, backbiting, gossiping, slandering, or spreading rumors. If the tongue is able to avoid the pleasure of tasting the food and quenching its thirst, then why not keep it clean from what can ruin our fast?

5- ىRamadan is not for overspending on food and parties. Feed the poor, invite the relatives and friends, but do not show off or compete in overspending. As it turns out.

6- Ramadan is not for oversleeping. Pray more in the night, read Quran, work during the day. That is the Sunnah of our Prophet (PBUH). Laziness has no place in Ramadan.

AFTER RAMADHAN: Every Muslim who is has ability should pay ''Zakat Al-Fatr'' It Means Money pay and Give to people who are in need to by Food for them , this is about the Greatness of Ramdhan that we all Poor who Don't able to buy food to eat and the Rich both Fasting to like a Same . .
The Don't is against that:
Don't eat , drink , be faithful , polite to people , and youself .
So the Fasting in Ramadhan in Obligatry to he is able , and If he is Sick , or in a hard travilling , Women at the Period of the '' Month Cycle which happen every 28 day '' its not Obliatry in these Cases , but he Should Fast these day at the Time he is able to , or pay Money for the Poor People '' Feed them''.
At the Other hand who was able to fast and don't its a great sin , So every Muslim who is able should to Fast .
And also there are a Great Prayers we doing it after the ''Ashaa prayer '' called '' Al-Taraweh'' its 8 Raqas , and other 3 all are 11 , and another Prayer before the Fajr '' Dawn'' Called Al Qyan / Tahajod there are not obligatory to everyone , But it great Honour if you do.

“O people! The Month of Allah the High has come with blessings, mercy and forgiveness. To Allah, this month is the best month. Its days are the best days. Its nights the best of all nights. Its hours the best of all hours.

And this is the month which you have been invited to be the guests of Allah and you have become the graced ones by Allah.

Your souls sleep in it is worship.

Your deeds in it are accepted. Your prayers in it are answered. So ask your Lord with truthful intentions and pure hearts that He would grant you success in fasting and reading His Book. For that the unfortunate is the one who forbids Allah’s forgiveness in this great month.

With your hunger and thirst remember the hunger and thirst of the Day of Judgment

Give to your poor and needy. Respect the elder. Have mercy on the younger.

Be nice and keep in touch with your relatives. Protect your tongues.

The ability to delay the fulfilment of one’s desires is the criterion that distinguishes an adult from a child, a mature person from one who lacks maturity. When a child wants something from you, he or she will pester you until he gets it. The thought of having to get it may become too strong that the child would not be able to tolerate being denied. A child may often be in a fit of tears if his or her desire is not satisfied, but as the child grows up and becomes psychologically mature, he or she becomes better able to tolerate being denied what they desire. But the degree of tolerance may vary a great deal from one child to another. The same applies to adults, some of whom may be very keen to satisfy their desires immediately. Even an adult may need to be more mature in this sense, and acquire a greater ability for delayed fulfilment of personal desires. Indeed patience and tolerating the inability to have one’s desires immediately satisfied are highly important elements in attaining personal maturity. Fasting in Ramadan may be viewed as an annual training course in being more patient and able to resist one’s desires. It helps to acquire higher maturity. Indeed, trying impatiently to satisfy one’s desire is found at its strongest with people who have not had the sort of training faith provides. Allah says in the Qur’an: “Yet man prays for evil as eagerly as he prays for good. Truly man is ever hasty.” (17: 11) He also says: “Man is a creature of haste. I shall make My signs obvious to you. Do not, then, ask Me to hasten [things].” (21: 37) In another verse, He says: “You love this fleeting life, and give no thought to the life to come.” (75: 20-21)

7- Ramadan is not for wasting time by watching more TV. Television channels compete in showing their best programs during this time, and many of us spend hours each day and night watching them. Time is precious, we will regret every minute wasted by not spending it in an act of worship or goodness. So this Ramadan why not pledge to yourself and ask your family to cut down on the tube time? Read a book instead, it is much more rewarding. Let us benefit from the rewards Allah has promised us during this blessed month, and try to forge better lifelong habits in the process.

8- Ramadan is not for inviting the wealthy while ignoring the poor, so when we plan our Iftars, let us remember to invite those who are usually forgotten.
9- Ramadan is not for losing control over our nerves or emotions, frowning, showing anger, or making excuses for letting ourselves vent or explode because "I am fasting and hungry." It should be the opposite. In fact, fasting should teach us how to control our emotions, to be more patient, balance the mind, body and soul, and smile.

Many of us will read this article and say: "Easier said than done." That may very well be true, but who said that the road to Paradise is easy? Unless we struggle with every step on this journey we may lose the way, and that will be the biggest tragedy of all.

Events of Ramadan
Laylat al-Qadr (Arabic: لیلة القدر) literally the "Night of Decrees" or "Night of Measures", is the anniversary of two very important dates in Islam that occurred in the month of Ramadan.[citation needed] Muslims believe that it was the night in which the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. Muslims believe that any acts of worship undertaken on this night are rewarded in multiple thousands in comparison to the same act of worship done on any other day. There are two schools of thought on date of this event. Some Muslims are of the opinion that it lands on the 27th night of Ramadan while others believe that it may be any one of the last odd nights.

The Islamic holiday of Eid ul-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر) marks the end of the fasting period of Ramadan and the first day of the following month, after another new moon has been sighted. The Eid falls after 29 or 30 days of fasting, as per the lunar sighting. Eid ul-Fitr means the Festival of Breaking the Fast; a special celebration is made. Food is donated to the poor (‘Zakat al-Fitr’), everyone puts on their best, preferably new, clothes, and communal prayers are held in the early morning, followed by feasting and visiting relatives and friends. The prayer is two rakaahs only, and it is an optional prayer as opposed to the compulsory five daily prayers.

Muslims are encouraged to fast six days in Shawwal, the month following Ramadan that begins after Eid ul-Fitr; these days need not be consecutive.[1] According to hadith, one who fasts the month of Ramadan and six days during Shawwal will be rewarded as though he fasted the entire year
