From the Paper:

"The month of Ramazan is a chance to expand and build up character of patience and self-control, to manage annoyance and a scorching or hateful language. Ramazan is an occasion to stimulate sympathy and harmony with others and especially with the underprivileged. The Muslims are advised to be more open-minded in charity all through Ramazan and are obligated at the closing stages of fasting to give Zakat al Fitr (charity), an amount to facilitate all Muslims to allocate in the character of affection, fondness and brotherhood."
