Ramadan Kareem

Though Ramadan is almost over.. I cannot let this occasion pass without writing something about it. Our brothers here pray 5 times a day:

Fajr (pre-dawn): This prayer starts off the day with the remembrance of God; it is performed before sunrise.

Dhuhr (noon): After the day's work has begun, one breaks shortly after noon to again remember God and seek His guidance.

'Asr (afternoon): In the late afternoon, people are usually busy wrapping up the day's work. It is an important time to take a few minutes to remember God and the greater meaning of our lives.

Maghrib (sunset): Just after the sun goes down, Muslims remember God again as the day begins to come to a close.

'Isha (evening): Before retiring for the night, Muslims again take time to remember God's presence, guidance, mercy, and forgiveness.

Whehw.. I wish I pray as much ... And now they are fasting as well thus most restaurants and fast food chains are closed during daytime. Some would prepare their own "baon" so as to refrain from getting hungry though some or so few restos do deliver. Since there are alot of expats here.

Before when I heard them say Ramadan and Muslims fast for almost a month - I asked myself how could they ever survive that?? .. Now I found out that after and up until the last prayer is when they will be fasting so after as they call Iftar - they eat up and some up until before Fajr. Not bad at all right?

Anyways..office hours are shorten as well so what else could I ask for?? Lurvetttt!!
