The Start of the Fasting Month

Good evening gracious children!

Tomorrow marks the start of the fasting month for the Muslim community in Singapore. Fasting is a compulsory religious action that Muslims have to go through for a month.

This is to remind us of the hardships and suffering of other people who are less fortunate than us. Muslims will abstain (stay away) from food and drinks from dawn (when the sun rises) till dusk (when the sun sets). Muslims also have to be careful with what they say and to stay away from gossips and lies. The month when Muslims fast is called Ramadhan and during this month, we have to cleanse and purify ourselves.

Lots of love,
Mr Fadzeel
