Holy month of Ramadan begins today

13 Sep, 2007  |  Posted by Danesh  |  in Uncategorized

Muslims around the world begin fasting today as it marks the beginning of the Holy month of Ramadan. Fasting is not easy task, it takes motivation, determination, faith and willpower. I have never fasted for more then a day. Maybe I’ll try it with my Muslim pals this time.

Ramadan will end with the festival of “Eid al-Fitr” or “Hari Raya Aidilfitri” as we know it here. New clothes, big feasts, cookies galore and my favourite, visiting my Muslim friends.

To all my Muslim friends in Malaysia, “SELAMAT BERPUASA”. To my Muslim friends around the world “HAPPY FASTING”

    My favourite part about the fasting month is the buka puasa stalls! The whole country will be flocking with stalls and such wide spreads that we can choose from.Pure authentic local food and some crossbreeds that made thier way there as well!!
