For me, as a Muslim, we are born to praise Him and do what he wanted us to do for him.

Me as a Muslim
As a Muslim we are vowed to obey the five pillars of Islam which are to bear witness that there is no entity worship except Allah(God) alone, and that Muhammad (pbuh) was His messenger , to perform the five prescribed prayers to God everyday according to a specific prescribed method and at specific prescribed times , to give at least two and a half percent(2.5) of our wealth to charity every year if our savings exceed a certain minimum level which is considered above poverty level , to fast at the month of Ramadan every year from sun rise until sunset , and to perform a pilgrimage to Mecca once a Muslim's lifetime if it is financially possible and if our health permits. In Islam there are two major religious events Eid al-Fitr (month of Ramadan) which we are doing fasting and avoiding to commit sins, and also the Eid al-Adha(concluding the the Hajj) which we celebrated the Feast of sacrifice. As I know Ramadan is the ninth month of our Islamic calendar which is the month of fasting, we are refrain in eating, drinking, smoking and doing some other things that may commit sins. Fasting is also our one way to ask forgiveness to our God and purifying ourselves from the sins that we committed. As far as i know, Hajj is a lifetime journey of every Muslims. It is a pilgrimage to Mecca and it is currently the largest annual pilgrimage in world and actually it the fifth pillar of Islam. In doing Hajj it must take place during the month of Dhu al-Hijja(the last month of Islamic year).
