RAMADHAN FOOD FOR THOUGHT?

Muslims around the world recently completed their month of fasting, Ramadhan,

Muslims participate in this holy month as a way of getting closer to Allah by focusing and making more time for prayer and recitals of the Quran.

Through fasting, Muslims concentrate on cleansing the inner soul, practising self-discipline, empathising with those less fortunate, and being generous with charity (Zakat).

Ramadhan is an important month of reflection, ending with a celebration called Eid ul-Fitr, the festival of breaking the fast, when another new moon is sighted.

The Echo team wish all a belated Eid Mubarak.
