Ramadan-Fasting or Feasting??
Once again, Muslims all over the world are happy for being blessed with another Ramadan, the holy month during their life time.The obligatory ritual of fasting from dawn to dusk for a period of 30 days by refraining from eating , drinking , smoking, having sex and so on. Fasting is a wonderful scientific and spiritual concept of cleansing the body and soul.On contrary to its very fundamental purpose to experience the hunger of the indigent, today Ramadan is becoming a season of feasting with rich,high calory,heavy foods before dawn ( Sahur) and at dusk ( Iftar) to compensate the lost meal during the day!! How funny!! I have seen many people gaining weight during Ramadan instead of losing weight due to less food intake.The Iftars ,customarily used to have only Dates and fresh Juice or simply water is today a more fashionable lavish banquet where people show off their opulence and stuff themselves with everything as if there is no tomorrow!! It is common in all areas of the world
