Ramadan Kareem To All

In the name of Allah the most beneficent the most merciful...
I wish all believers the best blessings of Ramadan. May Allah accept all your worship and may He help you rejuvenate your faith. May He help all of us share in the joy of this month with our family, friends and neighbors.
"Fasting in Ramadan develops in a person the real spirit of social belonging, of unity and brotherhood, and of equality before God. This spirit is the natural product of the fact that when people fast they feel that they are joining the whole Muslim society (which makes up more than one fifth of world's population) in observing the same duty, in the same manner, at the same time, for the same motives, and for the same end. No sociologist or historian can say that there has been at any period of history anything comparable to this powerful institution of Islam: Fasting in the month of Ramadan. People have been crying throughout the ages for acceptable 'belonging', for unity, for brotherhood, for equality, but how echoless their voices have been, and how very little success they have met..." says family friend

"What is fasting?" "How does the fasting of Muslims in Ramadan differ from the fasting of other faiths?" "Why should one 'torture' one's body in the first place?" "What do you really gain from fasting in the end?"...These are a few questions that a number of non-Muslims often ask, usually out of curiosity of the Islamic faith, and at times out of pity and sympathy, thinking, why should anyone suffer from hunger and thirst like Muslims?
According to Taha Ghayyur. "Fasting is an institution for the improvement of moral and spiritual character of human being. The purpose of the fast is to help develop self-restraint, self-purification, God-consciousness, compassion, the spirit of caring and sharing, the love of humanity and the love of God. Fasting is a universal custom and is advocated by all the religions of the world, with more restrictions in some than in others. The Islamic Fast, as opposed to mere starvation or self-denial, is an act of worship and obedience to God, thanksgiving, forgiveness, spiritual training, and self-examination."
I'd like to say salam (peace) and hib (love) to my family and friends in .All Over The World.. and good luck with the fast.
In solidarity with my Muslim sisters and brothers,

We pray , Allah assist the Believers and inflict a crushing defeat to global jihadist movement., violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate.
