Happy Fasting
By: Ahmed on August 17th, 2010.
The blessed month of Ramadan has come, a month long celebration of self-purification and restraint. During Ramadan, the Muslim community fast, abstaining from food, drink, smoking and sex between sunrise and sunset. The goal of the fast is to teach humility, patience and sacrifice, and to ask forgiveness, practice self-restraint, and pray for guidance in the future.
Happy fasting (shoum) to all. We would like to wish you a blessed Ramadan, May Allah accept from us and from you (our deeds).
