Ramadan

So another month of Ramadan comes to an end today. Had made few resolutions at the start and I am not at all happy with how I performed. Could have been much better. Hope to continue good things here after and improve on them, aamin :-)...

Many of my friend's asked me this time the concept behind fasting in Ramadan. Unfortunately I do not have answer for it from religious point of view, but what I know is this. During Ramadan, one is encouraged to live a simple life, ask for forgiveness to God, help the needy people, pay zakat, become regular in prayers, and all this for you soul. And then one does fasts, that's for the body. If I may put a very simple analogy here, our body is not very different from a machine, and like every machine which requires scheduled preventive shutdown for enhancing its life and efficiency, our body also requires some rest. And keeping fast for a month gives that opportunity. So there's enuf for body and soul during this holy month.
