Ramadan and Fasting
Ramadan represents to Muslims a time of reflection and introspection, in addition to being a month of worship and spiritual fulfillment. As the body is deprived of food and water from sunrise to sunset, the mind starts appreciating the value of these precious things we take for granted.
For this reason, we have decided to use Ramadan this year as a time to shed light on some of those things that matter to us the most.
Fasting can make you crave for food long before iftar. If you eat too much you're going to be heavy and sedentary. Try to eat light, small portions so that you are able to continue your evening in recreation and worship.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "No man fills a vessel worse than his stomach. A few mouthfuls that would suffice to keep his back upright are enough for a man. But if he must eat more, then he should fill one third (of his stomach) with food, one third with drink, and leave one third for (easy) breathing."
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "For the person who is fasting, there are two moments of happiness and rejoicing: when breaking the fast, and when meeting his/her Lord."

With the advent of another Ramadhaan, a mixture of feelings overwhelm the hearts of Muslims all over the world. The hearts are full of hope, based on truthful promises and great tidings, given by Allah and His Messenger, of great bounties and endless bliss.
