change

Over one billion people worldwide live on $1 a day on ramadan food. And that includes everything not just food. Those of us blessed to enjoy a table full of a variety of foods when we break our fasts perhaps don’t consider this.

It’s no secret that the prayer lines dwindle considerably after Ramadan, as many people fall back into their old routines, leaving the best of their Islamic spirit dormant until next year’s Ramadan. But you can break that cycle, by breaking your own bad habits.

Change and hope were the buzzwords of the 2008 U.S. Presidential election. Let's let the coming year be the time to put them into action.

It's not avoiding food or even the drink I'm worried about this Ramadan. Fasting from these, the core of what the Ramadan experience is about, is hard but Alhamdu lillah doable. What I'm really worried about is email and Facebook.
