In Muslim households across Asia, the inflation crisis is casting a shadow over the holy month of Ramadan, and making the nightly ritual of breaking the fast a more meagre affair. From Afghanistan to Malaysia, the high prices of food are forcing the poor to go without, and curtailing the lavish evening buffets which the well-off have flocked to in better economic times.

Greetings and peace be with you Endymion;

And blessings and peace be with you all as you prepare for this special time, may your spiritual journeys bring you closer to your maker.

There were some stunning photos, and some tragic ones that remind us of the injustices that man will impose on their neighbour. But what is the significance of the two ladies in pink, the one with her hand on the others face?

In the spirit of praying for justice for all people

I simply can't wait for ramadhan! InshAllah we will all be able to experience it, also do not forget that we are all fortunate to have something to break our fasts with, some people have nothing. I encourage myself and everyone not to be stingy and give sadaqah with the intention of feeding those who need to be fed inshAllah.

Why don't we all add some pictures everyday to this thread relating to ramadhan, would be good, what you say Endy? :D

That first picture again, is just beautiful and it's symbolic to me as well. The setting sun of my old life over the crescent of Islam. Or the rising sun of my new life if it's a sunrise.

Ameen. The posted pictures really do make a stark contrast between places like Palestine and Massachusetts. InshAllah the Palestinians will receive some relief during this Ramadan.

[Who Am I?]

I was actually talking to some brothers tonight about how this will be my first Ramadan. They advised me to start practicing fasting now so that I can get used to it. I think I will start doing that so that I will be more prepared.

[Riana17]

This will be my first Ramadan as well. I am a bit nervous but also extremely excited! :)

Peace be with you all

sis its good to fast, to make sure we are honest with our Creator, no one knows you we are really fasting except the One TRue God
it is also good to pray in fajr to make sure we are believers

[إحسان]

As Salamu Alaykum wa RahmatAllah wa Barakatu,

Ramadan is nearly here! Time sure flies... Ramadan this year for me, will be definitely different without my mum Allah yar7ama, may Allah grant her Jannah inshAllah... It'll only be me, my older brother and my two older sisters. I can't even imagine it... But I'll try inshAllah to finish reading the Qur'an as much as I can during that time!

[Who Am I?]

I'm trying to eat and drink less every day in preperation for Ramadan.

[Endymion]

I'm trying to eat and drink less every day in preperation for Ramadan.

You better fast twice a week for the preparation.Its Sunnah and it will help you preparing for Ramadan.Less eating will make you weak,which will create problems during Ramadan.:statisfie

But any way,i pray that Allah SWT makes your Eman more strong and your Ramadan will be easy and healthy expirience for both your spirit and your health.Amen.:statisfie




P.S.Gosh,i did'nt know Ghazalah,Harb and Hannah got such amazing pics regarding this topic ^o)
Now im gonna steal them and will post them to the other forum pretending like i gathered these pictures for them :giggling: :D

[Who Am I?]

Yeah I'm building myself up to the fasting on the suggestion of a brother at the masjid. He said to start out with 6 hours a day and then slowly increase the amount of time that I fast... like 6 hours, then 7, then 8, etc. Soon enough inshallah I will be able to go all day without blinking an eye.

[Just_A_Girl13]

I plan to practice fasting as well, although I used to fast for days at a time sometimes for my church, so inshallah I shouldn't have any trouble.
