Family | Fasting Starts

Today marked that start of the Month of Ramadan or fasting in the Muslim Calendar.

It starts today and ends tentatively on 2 November 2005, when the next day is the month of Shawal where all Muslims will celebrate Eid Fitri, triumph after the month long fasting from dawn to dusk and abstaining from all things evil or sinful as humanly possible. Doing charity is strongly encourage during this month as this would instill selflessness and the giving spirit.

We are especially proud of my son whose 10 years old. This year would be his third year of completing the month long fasting just like us adults. His fellow Muslim classmates are observing the fasting too. He is strong-willed and a reponsible child. We are blessed to have him.
