Ramadan has begun


Greetings to our Muslim brothers and sisters around the world in the observance of this holy month of Ramadan. The Muslim community will fast from dawn till dusk for the entire Ramadan month. I've always been fascinated and curious about the purpose of fasting for such a long period of time. Then I found the answers in this article enumerating 12 Reasons To Fast! Very admirable indeed.

  2. I love to learn about other religions, and customs. I understand the whole fasting thing, I just kind of think it is cruel.
